ROFL! Thats the funniest part. When the first Indian missile was named Prithvi , the Pakistanis thought that we named the missile after the King Prithviraj Chauhan , while it actually meant "Earth". . Hence the other Indian missiles were named as Akash (sky)and Agni(fire).

We need more Pakistanis like you, still living in the past. . It sure helps us in the future.
