Sighting ISS from India.

Yes of course , easily and often. The ISS orbits at an inclination of 51.6 degrees, so anyone that lives within the region marked red in the below world map, can see the ISS fly over them at night.  India is near in the region marked red and thus gets some of the best views of the ISS.

There are numerous smartphone apps to tell you when the ISS will be visible from your location.  There is also NASA's Spot The Station website.  Visit that site and select your city to see when the next opportunity to see the ISS will be.

His answer?  Time  was part of God's creation, and there simply was no "before" that a deity could call home. Armed with the best physics of the 20th century, Albert Einstein came to very similar conclusions with his theory of relativity. Just consider the effect of mass on time. A planet's hefty mass warps time -- making time run a tiny...
