Today’s song is a duet from the film ‘Rocket Girl’ (1962).

Man has always been curious about other planets and the other worlds. His attempts to know more about them have been known since the Vedic Times, i.e. about 5000 years ago. Our religious books describe the various celestial bodies and there are many stories told about them.
