ISRO Mars Mission 2013
A silver jubilee flight
It was a mission right
Reaching out in height
After the Diwali night
Indeed a beautiful sight
Bit by bit it eked
On this landmark trek
Took days and nights to make
To wonderland of Mars to take
A long bright yellow plume now darts
Through silent empty haze
Passing through big maze
On its own in a haste
In a maiden mission for a date
With the red planet Mars
A complex game of math,
Like chess the many moves
Oddly new to most human minds
The study and the find,
To go four hundred odd million miles
To pursue goals and go ahead
Where others before have tread
It is the wish of the mind
Of a rising nation to remind
We too can make the find
Amidst the growing pains
Carrying a huge population on
To get a firm footing bound
Into the big wide world to go
A leap, one huge step,
The mind's big boost leapt
From ground zero to space
Then to a planet’s orbit
The space odyssey is strange
Complex are its needs
Wish all the best for the mission
For there is praise in this vision
For the power of the man
In this game of love
Aiming for the heart of Mars
To send a dart across!
Crossing earth and space
Into the planet Mars
Be taken in her crust
Reach her folds to rest

Though there are times when I wonder if our priorities are right.
I'd be more impressed if mankind did its best for those in need on earth.

Your poem, illustrating an Indian mission to Mars along with the many high-tech industries forming throughout the country seems to bear that theory out. What a wonderful thing to behold.
