Hafta letters: Geopolitics, burning Ravan effigies, screening of While We Watched

Hi there 

This is regarding Chandrayaan. I am just in a neutral spot for this. It’s definitely a great moment for the country but as Abhinandan has said the funds could have been used elsewhere, but will they be used? Case in point the Ganga cleaning, going on for years, with funds pumped into it. But has Ganga been cleaned? Or, say schools in rural areas, are they adequate? Are they connected with internet or it’s only on the paper? The funds allocated to useful means are diverted for other ineffective things like advertising, etc. So, if something has been done with the required funds, which has not been achieved by other nations, so just soak in the excitement. Also, for Sena projects, if the starting contribution is kept Rs 500, it will be better.
