I watched the live webcast of the 9th game of the World Chess Championship 2008, (Bonn) yesterday night. I had feared much worse but Vishy managed to scrape through the match with a draw, thanks to some lapse in concentration on Kramnik's part. Just one more draw is what is required to win the championship.
On the Chandrayaan-I front, as per update by ISRO (dated: 26th October 2008), Chandrayaan has entered the deep space with an apogee of 164,600 Km and a perigee of 348 Km after its on board rockets were fired for the 3rd time. It now takes around 73 hours to rotate the earth once. Though I am not very sure, but the apogee seems to be lower than what was planned in EBN-3 phase by about 34,677 Km. Maybe this is normal.
Got nothing else to do, except wait and watch.
