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 !

Congratulations to Sachin!

And after a wait of 369 days, the day has finally come! March 16, 2012 will go down in the history books as the day when the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar reached the almost unrepeatable milestone of 100 International Centuries in the Game of Cricket. This particular century had garnered a lot of attention, especially since it was the 100th one. And also because it took such a long time. Possibly the most Sachin has taken between centuries before. But as we say, all good things come with a wait, Sachin also had to sweat it out for 33 innings and then came this much-awaited century. It hasn't been easy for him at all, it's not that you by-default get a 100 if you reach a particular point. He had to strive for each and every run, even for the single after the 99. That's how the game is. Just merely because he is an expert in the game, doesn't make his work easy. It just makes others to consider it as easy for him. For him, each and every match, each and every inn...

Questions of Sanity

Through those steps of solace Rise the moments of despair Speaking of one unanswered question "Why?" When the nights blind away With those chirps of silent pray From the crickets humming their way "Why?" For, those dark corners Seldom return a face to mark The happiness reveals with a big "Why?" And under the lights We picture our doomed agony Like shadows in perceptions of "Why?" Often, we turn around and look Behind our steps of grace To picture the realm of safety "Why?" Fear, the detestation from reality For those who keep onto it Often keep repeating endlessly "Why?" The time of redemption arises With moments of glory in dreams A glimpse of light again, a change "Why not?"

A Ride Through the Night

It's been a while since I've put my fingers to the task, but it feels good to be back. This time, I'm along the lines of Batman - yet, a little into philosophy though. Yes, I'm talking about the Night (without the 'K'). Often we are moving from one place to another, as part of work, or as part of our personal chores. And almost all the cases, the mode of transport are our favorite Buses and Trains, which we rely on, more trustfully even than our own toothbrush! So during one such various tours, the thought struck me that a wider population is being 'in transit' during the night hours. Some taking hours in single digits, and some in double. The reason for destinations may be many, for family, for work or be it anything. Amid the rush, there dwells a night life! Across these nights, several interesting caricatures surface with their own stories. There's the lady who has drawn the beds early, settled in her comfort zone. There's the...
