A prayer for Sunita

I happened to stumble upon this recently ..

“BHOPAL (ICNS): Christians here are praying for Sunita Williams’ safe return after news that her landing was delayed by two days to allow time to fix the Atlantis’ thermal blanket which peeled-off during last week’s launch.
“Sunita Willams is our sister and she has made India proud in the world, God will bring her safe,” said spokesperson of the Catholic Church in the state Fr Anand Muttungal. “
The All India Christian Council has asked people to keep special prayers at houses for her safe return. The community organized a special prayer service at St Mary Church, Seva Sadan. The prayer meeting was organized by the inter-faith dialogue centre here.
“Christians prayed for the safe return of Sunita Williams. People from different walks of life took part in the prayer service,” the Catholic priest added. “

Ahem.. Sunita Williams is as much as an Indian as I am Chinese , She was born an brought up as an American citizen , just because she eats Samosa’s does not make her an Indian , I eat Noodles and I am not Chinese!!. Apparently prayers are being held all over India for her safe return , So I am forced to ask,Why not pray for the whole crew ? I bet they don’t give a s**t for them . I don’t think we as a country are so devoid of Achievers , that we need to turn an American astronaut into a national icon . A humble request to the news channels and the papers – No more of “Suni” please .
