The Aero Show 2011

Well, it was on the Saturday the 12th, that I had gone to the Aero Show 2011 being conducted at the Yelahanka Air Force Station. Getting to the parking place was a long route too!

Of course, to say about it, would be amazing. Though we had to stand under the hot sun for about 2-3 hours. It was worth it. And there were good pleasuring sites too. It was all crowded with many aircrafts on display. There was our own Tejas, then there was the Hawk and many other whose names are not being recollected in my memory.

The day had started with the Surya Kiran display. And was more amazed at knowing from the papers that it's one among the only three of  the 9-aircraft-formation displays in the world. So proud ! And the sight was thrilling too. And there was this another display, consisting of all pilots who were above 60-year-old. Must appreciate the enthusiasm in which they were riding and displaying and all the tricks that they were performing.

There were other stalls by different companies from various countries too. There were stalls of the Sukhoi and other MiG aircrafts. And others, showcasing the different technologies used in all kinds of machinery.

Though we weren't able to explore all the other stalls which were on display, it was a nice day with all the aeronautic displays that we had seen. Good experience !

Though, these won't match up to the high quality pics that have been on the roll, since they have been taken it from my phone with 2 MP, I am posting some pics !

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...

elections in d country..

Kerala and various other states of d country went to the vote on the 16th of April as part of the Phase-I of the elections in the country. And this time it is going to be really competitive. coz this time people want change. people r more aware of things. they are not going to fall for those old promises and vote. they r definitely changed. this is the scenario not at all places, but same places atleast. so this time its been different from olden times. so the political parties had to work really hard this time to gather votes for them. But after all, thinking generally, elections must be the process of electing proper officials to power and not just political parites. it must b an exercise that leads to the shaping of the country. And interesting thing is, u can always recollect all the negative aspects of the different political parties in the country at the time of elections. They all pin point mistakes of each others. So u surely get to know more. I am feeling sad that I couldn...

Darkness

As I sit within these walls Those thoughts, the mind recalls Craving for that cosy hand With that familiar blue band The shadows in the moonlight Search for the bright sunlight That once existed, for long Without any inhibitions, forlorn The breeze sings in midnight Though the clock waits for the light With the miles crossing by But the moon floats, as its own alibi The walks sing their ballads Out when they call, the nomads Those who belong to this world Yet, while they lie all curved Along the streets, they speak Of stories which call them a freak Smile along they do with might When others smirk at their sight Forget those who are bemoan Running behinds dreams flown Chasing peaks which are unreachable Carrying loads pretty unbearable A day shall come, long-drawn When the time will dawn Upon them with a light so bright Fight, they shall, with all their might.
