Ah, the wonders of space exploration! Our journey through the cosmos has been an exciting tale, filled with thrilling episodes of bravery, innovation, and... occasionally, cinematic plot twists. Especially, if you're listening to the ever-entertaining narrative of West Bengal's Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee.

Recently, at the TMC Youth wing rally, Ms. Banerjee let loose another sparkling gem. "When Indira reached on the moon," she declared with confidence, "she asked Rakesh how India looks from the moon." Now, let's get our telescopes out and decipher this intriguing cosmic tale.

For those of us a tad confused, allow me to shed some light—light years away from Banerjee's version. Indira Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India, though a formidable figure in Indian politics, never quite made the space leap. Neither to the moon nor any other celestial body, for that matter. And as for Rakesh... well, one would imagine she meant astronaut Rakesh Sharma. But remember the time she confused him with filmmaker Rakesh Roshan? A small mix-up, really. Who can't mistake a filmmaker for an astronaut? A mere skip of logic for our dear CM!

Mistaking stars of the cinematic world with those of space might seem like an innocent error for some. Still, one wonders if the realm of politics, like space, is an ever-expanding universe where reality sometimes gets distorted by the gravitational pull of one's own perceptions. And in Ms. Banerjee's case, it's proving to be a fascinating journey through her own unique galaxy of beliefs.

So, while Ms. Banerjee might believe in the moonwalking endeavors of Indira Gandhi and the space tales of Rakesh Roshan, we on planet Earth are left to marvel at the cosmos she inhabits. After all, who wouldn't want to live in a world where film directors become astronauts and former prime ministers take giant leaps for mankind?

It's a universe full of stars and surprises, and thanks to West Bengal's CM, it's never short of amusement. Safe travels in the cosmic sea of politics, Ms. Banerjee! And who knows? Next time, we might just hear about Mahatma Gandhi sharing a cup of tea with Neil Armstrong on Mars. Stay tuned, earthlings! #ToInfinityAndBeyond

It's often said, 'To err is human.' And in the vast cosmos of politics, some errors end up being more... out of this world than others. West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee seems to have her head in the stars, but unfortunately, they might be the cinematic ones.

Last week, as India proudly etched its name into the annals of space history, becoming only the fourth country globally to achieve the herculean feat of soft-landing a rover on the lunar surface, Mamata Banerjee chose a peculiar way to celebrate this monumental achievement. Instead of lauding the scientists and engineers, our dear Didi took us on a trip through a Bollywood sci-fi. How, you ask?

In an address that swiftly gained momentum and became the hot topic on social media platforms, the Bengal CM declared, “I remember, when Rakesh Roshan landed on the Moon, Indira Gandhi asked him how does India look from there…” Now, for the layman, Rakesh Roshan is a famed Bollywood filmmaker, known more for producing extraterrestrial-themed movies than for any personal space expeditions.

But here's the catch! It wasn't Rakesh Roshan, our beloved film director, who had this cosmic conversation with former PM Indira Gandhi. Instead, it was Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, a true trailblazer, and India's first-ever astronaut. As one Twitter user humorously pointed out: "Didi #Chandrayan3 ki landing ke jagah 'Koi Mil Gaya' dekh ke aayi hai 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 Rakesh Roshan 😭"

In April 1984, as part of the prestigious Soviet Interkosmos program, Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma, a proud member of the Indian Air Force, soared into space aboard the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz T-11. It was during this space odyssey that the legendary interaction took place. When queried by Indira Gandhi about how India looked from space, Sharma responded with the now-immortal words, "Saare Jahan Se Achcha, Hindustan Hamara."

It's a poignant reminder of the pride, love, and attachment our astronauts have for our beloved nation. As for Ms. Banerjee, we appreciate her enthusiastic attempts to marry Bollywood and space exploration. But perhaps, just maybe, it's time to separate reel from reality. After all, we wouldn't want an alien showing up demanding royalties for "Krrish", would we? Safe travels through the political space-time continuum, Didi! And always remember: The moon's light might be captivating, but it's essential to know who's been there and who hasn't!
