ISRO has been a source of pride for India, and its Chandrayaan 2 mission, despite hiccups, managed to unite an entire nation in reverence of what was accomplished. There was unity in pride and there was unity in pain too. It still pinches that despite ISRO's colossal efforts, which included seeking NASA's help, there has been no success in establishing contact with the Vikram Lander. It's been ten days since the fateful day, and one man from Uttar Pradesh seems to have taken that to heart.

India Today reports that man named Rajnikant (you'll understand the irony in a second), from Manda in Prayagraj, has pulled a stunt, which makes him nothing like his namesake. He climbed atop a pillar of the New Yamuna Bridge, the Indian tricolour in hand, and refused to come down until ISRO established contact with the Vikram Lander!

On Monday evening (September 16), Rajnikant got up on the bridge, followed by people trying to click pictures and videos of his heightened emotional condition. At some point in the night, he handed over a note to the public gathered, which conveyed that he won't step down until ISRO communicated with Vikram. In fact, he said that he was praying to the 'Moon God' for it!

"Chandrayaan 2 ke Vikram lander ka sampark Isro se nahi ho jata, tab tak main Chandradev se prarthana karta rahunga."

Today, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will be flying over Vikram's lunar landing site, and the pictures it clicks will then enable ISRO to determine the fate of the lander. Here's hoping for our and Rajnikant's sake that we get some good news!
