Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla has docked with the ISS as part of Axiom‑4, marking India’s renewed entry into space after 41 years. In a warm 18‑minute call, PM Modi asked if he’d brought “gajar ka halwa” Shukla confirmed he and international colleagues are enjoying Indian desserts like gajar ka halwa, moong dal halwa, and aam ras. Shukla described microgravity life: fluid sleeping, 16 sunrises and sunsets daily, and witnessing Earth’s borders vanish from orbit. Modi hailed Shukla as “farthest from India, closest to our hearts,” calling this mission the dawn of a new space era and a stepping stone to Gaganyaan.
