India Trip - 26th Jan 2008

During my India Trip, after landing at bombay airport, while driving from Bombay to Pune at 5:30 am, I saw an amazing pair of two bright stars (?) in eastern sky.. At that time I wasn't aware what I was looking at.. Near the constellation of scorpio, these two stars (?) around 5 deg apart, were the brightest in the sky. I was guessing who they were.. and it tuned out to be.. Jupiter and Venus in conjunction... marvelous event to witness..

This celestial event indeed marked the beginning of my India Trip :)
