The Day when flying became Scary

Its not like , I have never been on a flight before but this was the incidence which happened after I done my Pre Flying Training and was going from Kochi to Delhi by Air India AI- 047 . As I boarded the plane , I started realizing that the stuff I studied about planes like Lift , Drag , aerofoils , aeroengines in last 5 weeks was
going to be real soon. I could see the different colored lights on the runway .
It was funny telling the guy sitting beside me that , Blue lights are traffic lights , White r runway lights , red r end of runway lights and green r threshold lights.
Beside this I was able to judge the movements of Pilot , wht he was doing and wht next  he gonna do :) .It was like sitting next to ur friend in car and knowing all his actions.
It was scary when plane was going to take-off . I knew how actually plane flies and what r the various  requirements for flying. My mind suddenly goes toward the problems that can occur like stalling and engine failures . Being a person of Defence forces , I should not say this : "but I was little scared" ;). After a few moments when plane reached a good height , everything was normal ;)
It was a great experience and I m feeling lucky that I m gonna be a part of defence aviation soon and going to "FLY HIGH".

Half Marathon , 21 km in 1 hr 52 min.

What a day it was !!! A lot to share , starting from last night ,The Navy Ball , we were wearing Number 6 uniform , drinking and listening to Veer Das comedy . After Veer Das , some dance performance was there and then comes KK , the legend . He started with  'Yaaron Dosti Bdi hi haseen hai ' and with few more songs , whole environment changed . Officers started dancing with their families and soon the singles like us joined them. A lot of dancing , first on KK songs and then some more singers and then on DJ . After dinner , we moved to our rooms and it was already 0130hrs.

Next morning we were having Marathon , so we decided to wake up at 4 bt when I woke up ,my watch was showing 5. I rushed to Abhimanyu's cabin. They seemed less interested in going , so I decided to go myself. I took bus and reached the starting point. Soon the Marathon started.

First 10 Km. : In starting , I could feel the hangover so have no idea , how first 3 km gone . After 3 , my counterparts started showing less enthusiasm and they were kind of less interested in race now. Soon only one of my friend left with me . We crossed bridge , Kahawa , Naval Base , SFNA  and were almost at 10 km milestone when the last counterpart left me alone.

10 - 20 km : Soon I reached the 11 km point from where I had to return back . I was running like hell , no breathing problem , only sweat was coming. As I reached Naval base again , I decided to call Abhimanyu and we talked for some time . After crossing bridge , I called to my brother , and we talked for 2 km . People standing on sides of road were amazed to see that a guy is talking on phone and running at 18 Km milestone while others have already started walking. As I reached 20 km , I cut the call.

Last 1000 meters : Now it was last 1 km , and i was still having lot of energy , so I decided to sprint. I am sure that I crossed at least 50 people in last km.

As I entered the ground , it was all crowded . I reached the final point , took my medal and stretched for some time . I was not able to feel my legs after few minutes. After all , I stepped outside the ground , had 3 juices and then took auto to naval base. It was a great day and had lot of fun . Seriously , I had never expected to complete 21 km with such good timing of 1 hr 52 min with hangover , sleepless night and dance for 3 hrs last night .

The long day

The day started with hangover , 2 beers I had last night in Officers Institute were enough to take me out of senses . My watch was showing 9:30 am . Soon I realized that I have to pee , I rushed towards washroom . When I looked into the mirror , eyes were red showing three  consecutive restless nights that I had . I picked up my phone and saw 2 missed calls from Reetu . I called back , they were leaving from Munnar and were expected to arrive allepy at 2 PM.
I got ready , took aviators from Shreyas , and then reached main gate in next 15 minutes. From there reached railway station and bought ticket. After  reaching allepy at 2 PM , I entered some Restaurant and was doing some surfing on internet . Suddenly I heard some voice asking "Can I join u ???" . She was some foreigner and was carrying big bag. I helped her putting that down and offered water. We talked for 45 minutes . She was from UK , coming from Sri Lanka and going to Pakistan . After she left , I decided to walk around. It was a gud place , back waters and boats.
My friends reached at 3.30 ,when  I met them , they were planning for some House boat . After doing all formalities , we entered the Powerboat . We had gud time there , bt I had to leave at 7 . After leaving , I again was standing on the railway station .
A cute girl was sitting there , and was doing something  on mobile. As train reached , she entered 2nd ac , I followed her.  In next 10 minutes I was sitting in front of her talking , and sharing basic information. She was from Banglore , and did B Tech in Bio Technology . Now she is doing job in Congizant . We talked for some time and then my station arrived. After leaving station , I took auto to Kahawa - coffee centre.
At kahawa , I opened FB and tried to find that girl . Soon I realized there were two eyes looking at me constantly. There was a girl sitting in front table looking at me. I waited for 5 min. And then slowly walked towards her table . I asked to join her and started talking . This girl was from Assam , did some course for one year and was Receptionist at Trident hotel. After some time , my friends (bros) arrived Kahawa and her friend also came . I left her table and joined my bros on other table. An hour later , I saw her leaving from Kahawa. We continued masti till 12:30  and asked for bill. Receptionist amazed  me telling that girl already paid my bill. WTF. I gave money to receptionist and told him that whenever u see that girl in future , give this money to her.
So finally day ended with lot of memories.
