  Observational cosmology has indeed made very rapid progress in recent years.
The ability to quantify the universe has largely improved due to observational
constraints coming from structure formation. The transition to precision
cosmology has been spearheaded by measurements of the anisotropy in the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) over the past decade. Observations of the large
scale structure in the distribution of galaxies, high red-shift supernova, have
provided the required complementary information. We review the current status
of cosmological parameter estimates from joint analysis of CMB anisotropy and
large scale structure (LSS) data. We also sound a note of caution on
overstating the successes achieved thus far.
