NASA was getting ready to launch a very important

   space shuttle. The scientists and engineers checked and

   double checked everything to make sure that things are fine.

           However, on the day of our launch, something seemed

   to be wrong. The rocket gave all sorts of noise but never

   took off even an inch from the ground. The engineers were

   puzzled because they could not figure out the problem.

           Finally, there was an Sardar who offered

   to help. They NASA people were desperate by that time and

   agreed to do anything.

           "Tilt the rocket 45 degrees to the right" said the

   Indian scientist. The engineers were puzzled but did it anyway.

           "Bring it back to vertical position" the Sardar said.

   The engineers did.

           "Now start the engines" he said. And surprise, the

   rocket took off and flew into outer space!

           Everybody congratulated him and asked him how he knew

   what to do. He replied -

           "It is very simple. This is what we always do with our

   Bajaj scooters in India".
