Paragliding : When I was just engaged, my (then) fiance was hoping that there would be some gift I would give her. She kept waiting the whole week and there was nothing. And on a Sunday, I called her and asked her to come with me… “where?” had no answer. I told her that this day was her gift. And we headed toward the gliding center where I had already booked the paragliding sessions. Shame.. I did not carry a camera then.It was an amazing experience to understand the niti grities of the systems, the harnesses, the safety belts, the reserve chute. And then the actual experience of flying… right about the city… and watching everything like a bird was a phenomena for both of us.

For Sarika, this was her wildest dream… the first(?) gift after engagement gift to be an experience rather than some boring stuff. (well sorry, her first gift actually was a bunch of flowers… flowers that don’t go waste… I had presented her a bunch of cauliflowers when our engagement was announced).

8 years later,  I joined the para gliding course to pursue my quest further. However the rain has been playing a bit. Awaiting the course to start soon.
