During his interaction with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, PM Modi asks him about his first thought after reaching Space Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla says “The first view was of the Earth and after seeing the Earth from outside, the first thought and the first thing that came to mind was that the Earth looks completely one, no border is visible from outside. When we saw India for the first time, we saw that India really looks very grand, looks very big, much bigger than what we see on the map… When we see the Earth from outside, it seems that no border exists, no state exists, no countries exist. We all are part of humanity, and the Earth is our one home, and all of us are in it.”

During his interaction with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, PM Modi asks him about the conditions in space and how he is adapting to it. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla says, “Everything is different here. We trained for a year and I learnt about different systems…but after coming here, everything changed…Here, even small things are different because there is no gravity in space…Sleeping here is a big challenge…It takes some time to get used to this environment”

Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla mentioned, “…A short while ago, when I was looking out of the window, we were flying over Hawaii. We see sunrise and sunset 16 times a day from the orbit…Our nation is moving forward at a very great pace…”

During his interaction with Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, PM Modi asks him if he had the ‘Gajar ka halwa’ he took along with him. Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla says “Yes, I bought gajar ka halwa, moong dal ka halwa and aam ras. I wanted everyone who has joined me from other countries to enjoy the rich Indian culinary. All of us had it together and everyone liked it…”

Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla thanked PM Modi and said, “I am fine and safe here. I am feeling very good, this is a new experience…This journey is not only mine but the journey of the whole nation…Under your leadership, today’s India offers numerous opportunities to fulfil their dreams…I am feeling very proud to represent India here”

Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla mentioned, “I am absorbing all the lessons and experience like a sponge. I am confident that these lessons will be highly valuable for us and that we will apply them effectively in the coming missions…”
