On October 27, 1980 Kalpana Chawla wrote a poem to her friend, which she titled 'Toward the Goal'............. 


Dive deep down

An aim awaits

Pearls peep

For your hands to reach

Just yours

For years, decades and ages

A door lies locked

A pearl in the shell

A secret in the brain

Open it

Break it

Reveal it

Fly high
