As we mark the death anniversary of Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman in space, we remember a life that proved passion and perseverance can lift ordinary beginnings into extraordinary achievements. She did not merely travel beyond Earth, she expanded the imagination of a nation and inspired young minds to pursue science, exploration, and excellence. On this day, we honour a legacy that reminds us true pioneers never fade, they become part of history’s guiding light.
