This is a 1:20 scaled model of ISROs Mars Orbiter Mission. The satellite is presently orbiting the red planet millions of kilometers away. In addition to being India's first inter-planetary endeavour and one of the most challenging missions attempted by ISRO so far, MOM also happens to be the very first spacecraft project I worked on (P.S. No, there was no Vidya Balan frying pooris at review meetings). I still distinctly remember all the excitement, the goosebumps and that feeling of immense pride after witnessing the crucial Mars Orbit Insertion at the Mission Control Room over 5 years ago. I am truly humbled and honoured at receiving this memento as my farewell gift after completing 8 years as Scientist/Engineer at Indian Space Research Organization and I would like to thank my friends and colleagues at ISRO for this thoughtful gesture. I feel immensely blessed to have had the most fruitful and valuable technical experience that the aerospace engineer in me could ever dream of, and am forever grateful for the cherished friendships, wonderful memories and plethora of knowledge I gathered on my happy ISRO journey ! ✨ ▪️ As they say, "All good things must come to an end". Well I'd like to append this and say, "All good things must come to an end ... in order for better things to happen". And so, the next chapter begins ... When I coined my blog #thedriftingsatellite (not just for the space scientist, but also for the wishful wanderer), the nerd in me wrote a few lines about it ... "Watch as I wander and break all ties, And fly higher than the bright blue skies, Not an airplane, not a bird, and not a colorful kite, I am the drifting satellite." ... As I maneuver into my new orbit, I have an unlimited supply of support from my loved ones, a heart full of dreams and a tank full of fuel to propel me through the next decade ! #newyearnewlife #bringiton2020 #toinfinityandbeyond #changeistheonlyconstant

It's a little known fact that Hamburg has more bridges inside its city limits than any other city in the world. In fact, with almost 2500 bridges, Hamburg has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam, and London combined. ▪️ (Hamburg : 2019)🗺️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #travel #hamburg #speicherstadt #hh #germany #deutschland #ig_deutschland #visitgermany #germanytravel #travelgram #instatravel #instagermany #instagram #insta #igtravel #ig #potd #photography #summer #peace #red #hamburgerhafen #bridges #hamburg_de #canals #unesco #unescoworldheritage #gothic #architecture
