This pic was taken last weekend on the ECR, coming back from a long drive and you bet I loved taking it.
I love flying. Sitting next to the window, looking at the night sky that is nothing but an envelope of blackness, of nothingness, and of everything. I have splurged on flight tickets only to feel this. When I look down from above, a couple of steps above from everything that is this world, the numerous lives that are lived and gone in a minute, when the whole world of yours is nothing but the flight and the feeling that your entire life is dependent on a couple of pilots and a few pieces of metal, welded together in the name of machine, it gives me goose bumps. Not just a goose bump, but the realisation that NOTHING REALLY MATTERS, all that matters is the minutes you are alive to enjoy the life. A look at the distant stars reminds me of places that exist beyond our knowledge, of lives that may exist, and the fact that we anything but a simple speck in the bigger scheme of things, who have this ignorant and stupid thought that WE ARE EVERYTHING.

Good one again Bala. A simple event called life well summarised. Irony is that even the most intelligent fail to understand that.
I had a lot of expectations on my first flight. I shld say it was scary at first, the take off and seeing the ground from above. But the experience was divine. I loved every moment of the flight esp seeing the fluffy clouds. I'll never forget that feeling ....wow!
