Tongue-in-cheek
Mangalore, Sep 22: When American astronaut Neil Armstrong first set his foot on the moon in mid-July 1969, he had correctly identified the spot, esp. the huge lunar crater called the Sea of Tranquillity.
If it were to happen in recent times, the lunar mission would have been in a quandary. The lunar craters that have 'moved' down to our planet now would have misled the astronauts as well as the NASA team to effect the landing on any of our city roads.
With the out-of-turn rains contributing their mite in their own way, some of the craters were turned into coffee-coloured swimming pools. But for the hazards of vehicles running them over, some fun-loving citizens would have as well taken a plunge and enjoyed.
Our regular reader Clifford took a try and tried fishing in the troubled waters and proved that fish could indeed be bred in these craters. Some auto-drivers too joined in his mission.
Our elected representatives can download these pictures, get them blown up and place them on their walls as keepsakes of the 'glory' of their territory during the term of their office.
