359 metres above the riverbed. 17 years of dedication. One woman's quiet brilliance beneath the world's highest railway arch bridge.
On 6 June 2025, the Chenab Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir - taller than the Eiffel Tower - was officially inaugurated. A marvel of engineering, it promises all-weather rail connectivity to the Kashmir Valley and stands as a symbol of resilience, ambition, and national unity.
But behind this steel giant stands another pillar Dr. G. Madhavi Latha, a professor at IISc Bengaluru and a rock engineering expert, who spent 17 years consulting on the project.
A father's 12 years of daily sacrifice helped his son reach IISc and eventually ISRO.
A father's love isn't always loud.
Sometimes, it quietly rides 25 km every day in an old auto rickshaw, just to make sure his sons get to school.
In a small village in Andhra Pradesh, Nagabhushanam had no land, money, or degrees.
But he had one unshakable belief that education could change his children's future.
So he bought an auto, and for 12 straight years, drove his sons to school and back. He worked long hours to support the family.
No holidays. No breaks. Just quiet determination.
Today, that sacrifice has led his elder son, Nagapradeep, to ISRO as a scientist.
With a B.Tech from JNTU Anantapur, an M.Tech from IISc Bengaluru, and research presented across Europe, he fulfilled his dream this year by joining ISRO Sriharikota.
His younger son Nagasai, now an ONGC engineer in Rajahmundry, has worked with NTPC and IOCL and is preparing for the civil services to fulfil his mother's dream of seeing him become an SP.
This isn't just a story of two successful sons.
It is the story of a father who gave up everything so his children could rise above everything.

Over 100 crore lives were lost in a war that wasn't just about power and land
As Shree Krishna taught, this war was never merely about good versus evil, but about restoring balance in a world drowning in ego and injustice.
This captures the soul of the eternal story, proving that whenever Dharma is in danger, He always returns.
