It's thy motherland!

She calls thee

This is a bond that can

never be severed

The scent of the soil:

How canst thou fail to remember?

No matter where thou wanderest

Thou art bound to return

From newer paths thou toureth

From thy sighs hushed.

From thy forlorn heart

Some one shalt beckon

This country, thy soil

It's thy motherland!

She calls thee

This is a bond that can

never be severed

To thee hast thy life

Words to proclaim:

Thou hast gained all

What dearth to name hath thou?

All the happiness hath

showered, though:

Thou art far away from thy home

Come, return O wanderer

Where someone wouldst

name thou a kin

And summon thee to the native soil

This country, thy soil

Is thy motherland!

She calls thee

This is a bond that can

never be severed

Now that you're here...

I can... die in peace!

It is like a lamp on your threshold

giving light to your neighbor's house.

I've made up my mind, Vinod.

I must go back.

Not again!

How can you go back for a girl?

Just persuade her to come here.

Its not that Vinod!

It's not only about

Gita and Kaveriamma.

This is the moment decreed

In which concealeth

Full eon

entire existence

Don't thou dare ask why roads two

Cross thy path through

Thou art the one to resolve the road

Thou art the one to discern the code

Which direction? Whither dost the

path leadeth to true abode?

This country, thy soil

It's thy motherland!

She calls thee

This is a bond that can never be severed

I got it.

Just because you lit a bulb

now you have delusions of sparking

a revolution in the whole country.

You're being foolishly romantic!

Let's leave aside sentiments...

Have you figured out what you are

going to do there?

I have a few ideas.

- Like?

I could be a Project Manager for

Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre.

I can... I can work in tandem

with NASA from there.

There's a lot to be done there.

You're impossible.

I can't understand you!

If you can't understand

even after hearing all this...

...then its pointless telling you anything.

You'll have to come there and see things.

Otherwise you'll never understand!

We're just a few minutes away from the

launch of the GPM Spacecraft

on an important scientific mission to

better understand the global water

cycle here on earth.

GPM will allow improvements in

predicting precipitation forecasts,

and better predict flood hazards.

We are not tracking any technical

problems at this time.

All systems are GO on the launch vehicle.

Weather forecast is very good for today.

Just a few minutes away from

launching the GPM spacecraft.

This spacecraft will give us information...

...that will help us

better predict precipitation

In addition, we can

better predict flood hazards.

T minus 20 secs.

T minus 15 secs.

T minus 109876

We have a GO for main engine start

...and Lift-Off!

John I tried to knock some

sense into his head

and tried to convince him

not to leave but...

Mohan, you do realize

what you are going to lose.

John, I know what

I'm going to gain.

But you're aware, you could

have gone places.

I am going places!

All right Mohan. Go light your bulb!

Nobody has ever thrown me like this.

Where did you learn

these wrestling tricks, Mohanbabu?

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Afterall, a marshmelon changes its colour

in company of another marshmelon!

Do you understand now?

Excellent match, Mohanbabu.
