'By science, not by wishful thinking'

Mumbai Jan. 6. The age-old lullaby on the splendour of the moon was briefly recited by the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, to drive home his point on the need for scientific temper. Chandamama aayega, lekin vigyan se, kewal ichaon se nahin (the moon will descend but through science and not through wishes alone), Mr. Vajpayee said while referring to the popular `Chandamama' verse, a favourite among children. Mr. Vajpayee was speaking at a function after laying the foundation for an educational complex here today. He said India had helped produce the ``best brains'' but they had chosen to invest their intellect outside the country. — PTI
