00:00 Hello everyone, my name is Zainab Zulkutty and welcome to HW News English.
00:04 From our earliest days, stories of the moon have captivated us.
00:07 In moments of fear, soothing words painted a reassuring image.
00:12 A vigilant guardian residing on the moon, watching over us.
00:15 The moon emerged as an unparalleled beauty, overshadowing everything in the world.
00:20 Referring to the moon as "Chanda Mama" or "Moon Uncle" felt innate.
00:26 In India, where the earth is revered as a maternal figure, the moon's companionship
00:30 with our planet resonated deeply. Like a brother supporting his sister,
00:35 the moon's unwavering presence evoked kinship. A feeling that turned the moon into a lasting friend,
00:41 an ancient confidant of Mother Earth. The moon's luminous glow carries an eerie
00:47 enchantment. A tranquil spectre presents concealing enigmatic secrets.
00:52 Earth's lone satellite, a distant companion, has graced our existence with its radiance,
00:58 accompanying us through solitude and exploration. On lasting nights, even in isolation, a simple
01:04 upward glance towards the dark expanse provides comfort, as if the man in the moon shares a
01:09 compassionate gaze. Our moon remains humanity's sole
01:13 extraterrestrial connection. Though it might be the only one we've touched, it's at the heart
01:19 of countless stories and myths spanning cultures and continents. Whether it's the Maoris' belief
01:24 in the moon as a husband to all women, or native North American tales of its capture by a hostile
01:30 tribe, the moon's allure and love's possessive grip tie all narratives together.
01:36 As a lunar satellite, the moon embodies divine power and the feminine essence of love,
01:41 intertwining cultures, poetry, and literature. From cosmic debates to mythical sagas and love
01:48 ballads, the moon's fascination endures. From Shakespearean verses to the musings
01:53 of rural poets, the moonlit canvas of romance finds its resonant voice.
01:58 Does the moon's nocturnal ascendancy fuel the flames of amorous contemplation?
02:03 The moon is a symbol of beauty, a celestial gem with its imperfection.
02:08 Every twenty-eight days, flaws and blemishes fade as it becomes whole again,
02:13 its radiance surpassing imperfection and embodying sacred perfection.
02:17 It's akin to a mysterious lover, revealing itself gradually. When fully revealed,
02:23 past scars become insignificant compared to the ecstasy of beholding it in its entirety.
02:28 Just like humans, especially women, concealing scars and flaws, yet shining brightly,
02:35 radiating true beauty. The phrase "I love you" to the moon and back, universally understood,
02:41 encapsulates boundless affection. The moon symbolizes enduring love,
02:46 eternal life, and life's cyclic nature. As the eminent nocturnal presence, its glow
02:52 reminds us of our universal connections. The moon's phases mirror life's and love's stages,
02:58 the waxing, the waning, the highs and lows. Cultures worldwide associate the moon with
03:04 femininity and fertility due to its connection with ancient mother goddesses.
03:10 This feminine symbolism enriches the phase's significance, as these goddesses
03:21 embodied protective and healing qualities. Beyond romantic context, "I love you" to
03:26 the moon and back transcends, symbolizing profound family and friendship bonds.
03:31 From unwavering paternal connections to intimate partnership, the phrase wields language's power
03:37 to convey warmth and admiration. Even Venus, the love planet in Greek mythology,
03:43 bows to the moon's enduring charms in the celestial realm.
03:46 The moon takes center stage in expressions of affection, a muse woven into lyrics that
03:51 justifies its silvery glow with passionate ardor. The moon's significance traverses life's phase.
03:58 It's a tender endearment from mothers to children, an emblem of affection among lovers.
04:04 But the moon is more than just romance. It's tied to human behavior.
04:08 During the Middle Ages, it was thought to trigger seizures and influence fevers and rheumatism,
04:14 giving rise to terms like lunacy and lunatic. In recent times, the moon has shifted from a
04:19 fantasy to a reality. India's lunar mission, culminating in the historic landing of the
04:25 Vikram Lander, bridges the gap between the celestial and the tangible, a reunion with
04:30 an old friend. The moon's radiant presence graces us both day and night, an unwavering sentinel.
04:38 Legend assures that the moon never truly wanes, standing, watching in the sky,
04:43 casting a gentle nocturnal glow and steadfastly maintaining its place throughout the daylight of
04:49 ours. Legend assures that the moon never truly wanes, standing, watching in the sky, casting a
