The Unsung Hero: A mother's journey through the cosmos

Dr. Sahana Prasad is an adjunct faculty member, consultant, and trainer in the Data analytics domain. More than 9500 English, Kannada and Hindi articles have been published in various newspapers and magazines, in addition to research papers and books on Statistics and DataScience. LESS ... MORE All eyes were on the astronauts, who were ready to take off into space. The world watched with bated breath; the countdown reverberated in everyone's heart. Not many focused on her, who prayed silently, biting down tears that threatened to flow down from her anxious eyes. She knew that more than a mother, she had to be a patriot, just like a soldier's mom, while her son's daring journeys took him beyond Earth's embrace into the vast, unknown cosmos. Beneath the televised smiles and triumphant waves lies a quiet apprehension. As the rocket ascends, carrying her child into the heavens, she grapples with the inherent risks. Every launch is a testament to human ingenuity, but it also carries the weight of extreme danger. The world sees a spectacle; she sees her child. She would have been the bedrock of support, nurturing the seeds of curiosity and ambition, even before he dreams of spaceships and distant stars. She would be the one who encouraged questions, fed his hunger for knowledge, and patiently explained the wonders of the night sky. Maybe she bought him the first telescope, took him to science museums, or simply fostered an environment where learning and exploration are cherished. The passion of her child, lofty and improbable as reaching for the moon, was fuelled by her. As the aspiring astronaut grew up, her role would have evolved from nurturer to steadfast supporter, through years of rigorous education and demanding training. She knows that the path to becoming an astronaut is fraught with challenges, requiring relentless dedication, intellectual brilliance, and immense physical fortitude. There might have been countless rejections, setbacks, and moments of doubt. She would have provided the emotional sanctuary, the reassuring voice, and the belief that success is within reach, understanding the depth of his commitment and providing the stable ground from which they can launch their ambitions, metaphorical and literal. During the mission, her days will be filled with a unique tension. While glued to mission control updates and news reports, she will rejoice every successful manoeuvre, every scientific discovery, and every breathtaking image sent back from orbit. Each milestone is a shared triumph. However, the vast distance and the perilous environment of space mean that communication can be limited, and every silence can feel amplified. Her heart remains tethered to that distant capsule, a silent prayer accompanying her child's every orbit. The mother of an astronaut may never wear a uniform, conduct a spacewalk, or command a mission. Her contributions are not etched in scientific journals or broadcast on national television. Yet, her journey is as integral to the human endeavour of space exploration as the rockets themselves. She is the quiet force, the emotional anchor, and the unsung hero who launches dreams and anxiously awaits their safe return, a testament to the profound and enduring power of maternal love.

Science and society through the lens of theatre

Only the most discerning of theatre-goers in Karnataka are aware of the Mysuru Science Theatre Festival (MSTF). The festival, organised by three cultural and theatre platforms, in association with Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement Mysuru, has been active for the past eight years. MSTF is an initiative of Shashidhara Dongre of Kala Suruchi, SR Ramesh of Parivartana, MC Manohar of Arivu Ranga and Kollegala Sharma of Kutoohali. This year, the Indian Institute of Astrophysics sponsored the festival. This unique experiment of teaching science through art, especially through theatre, began in 2017 when three amateur theatre troupes came together to stage plays focussing on science and scientists. Initially, they staged translated English plays; today they produce original Kannada plays on these topics. The plays staged during the last seven years have reached institutions such as the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Central Food Technological Institute (CFTRI), the Indian Institute of Science, the Institute for Human Genetics and several engineering colleges. Curious connect While it may seem unusual to club the sciences with theatre, it is not without precedent. Prof. Sudarshana Patil Kulkarni of Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) mentioned a similar science theatre festival in Orlando, United States. 'Mad Cow Theatre in Orlando used to host an annual science festival that included staged readings of plays exploring the intersection of art and science. The festival featured works that delved into scientific themes, discovery and the relationship between science and society. A previous edition of the festival included a reading of Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People. However, the festival is now defunct,' says Sudarshana. Shashidhara Dongre of Kala Surichi, a cultural platform in Mysuru and an accomplished professional in the technology sector, said, 'MSTF began with an intention to explore human, social, cultural, and political conflicts behind scientific endeavours and achievements, while also bringing to the audience complex scientific concepts in a more accessible dramatised form.' During the past seven editions, various theatre troupes have presented over 25 plays for Mysuru audiences including Proof, Copenhagen, Mussanjeya Swgatagalu, Arivina Angaladalli, QED (on Richard Feynman), Leelavathi (on mathematician Bhaskara), Einstein, Galileo's Daughter, Prabhasa (on Mary Curie), AC versus DC and others. In a nutshell The eighth edition featured four plays — The Trial of Abdus Salam written and directed by Nilanjan Choudhary, Hasivu written by Santosh Tamraparni and directed by Praveen Belli, Raman: Belaku, Shabda, Sidilu written by Shashidhar Dongre and directed by Prof HS Umesh and Moorane Kivi written by Ravindra Bhatt, directed by Prof SR Ramesh. Trial of Abdus Salam is based on the life of Pakistan's Nobel Award-winning nuclear scientist-Abdus Salam and the play begins with his appeal to the Government of Pakistan seeking a burial space for himself next to his parents. What follows is a depiction of his conflicts in a conservative society through a mock trial as a theatrical tool. The play was enhanced by an innovative use of multimedia depicting important incidents in the political history of Pakistan that had an impact on Salam's life. Hasivu is about the life of Russian botanist Nikolai Vavilov, his travails and tragic death due to hunger — an irony as he dreamt of making food accessible to every individual, travelling around the world collecting seeds for a seed bank. The upheavals of his life were well staged, though a few scenes involving complex dialogue, could have been better presented. Raman: Belaku Sidilu Shabda brought to stage the personal and professional life of physicist CV Raman. Beginning with a gentle conversation between Raman and his wife Lokasundari, it gives audiences a glimpse not only of his intelligence, but also his love for Carnatic and Western music, his egotism and self-righteous attitude. Moorane Kiwi chronicles the struggles of a family whose son was born deaf; the play intelligently weaves the science of hearing and the process of correction, including the relearning and dedication required from parents. At times, it felt the play dragged and could have done with tighter editing. On the whole, MSTF should be lauded for their effort to bring the lives of scientists to audiences, helping them understand the importance of science on society. Ramagovinda Ranga Mandira, the venue for MSTF, attracts both science and art lovers with its exhibition of mathematical toys, books and posters on Indian women scientists, to say nothing of the telescope on the premises through which one can view of sunspots. Ramagovinda Ranga Mandira is Nrupatunga Kannada School, Nirvikalpa Road, Mysuru. Updates on the Mysore Science Theatre Festival available on social media
