Sunita Williams in India

Sunita Williams, the India born American astronaut, arrived in Ahmedabad on Thursday, for the first time after her successful expedition aboard space shuttle Discovery. The last time she came to Gujarat was in 1998, with an urn believed to contain the ashes of late India-born astronaut Kalpana Chawla. Scores of fans thronged the airport, hoping to catch a glimpse of Williams.
