Unprecedented Part 2

(This is in continuation of Unprecedented )
Plane was climbing higher and higher cutting through the clouds...
Now it got sufficient altitude...

It bent right, to take right turn...
(Bangalore is south of Delhi and when craft took off, it was facing the East..)
That turn..that turn made that evening unforgettable...
made me witness of unprecedented event in my life...
I could clearly see the sun rising from west...
As plane was ascending, sun was rising...
I just thought it is simply a miracle...
I was stunned for long time....
After some time....
sun reached was like steady
in his position...and then it set very slowly...
it was like elongated sun set...very elongated...


Now technical part of it...
It is not a miracle..
As altitude of the craft was increasing...my horizon radius was increasing...
and it was increasing faster than the sun was going west with respect to plane...
So relative to me, the sun was moving east...or u can say I was catching the sun...
Pink Floyd's Time song says:
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

But I can say I caught the sun...
leave fun part of it...

Now once plane reached the stable height from the ground...
my horizon was fixed...and now its radius was not increasing...
so sun started setting.
But why did I observe elongated sun set?
There is also technical reason...Its not that sun set at higher
altitude is prolonged...

As it was winter, daskhinayan of the sun was going on...
so sun was relatively towards south...
The day length increases as we go to south in winter (winter in India)
I was moving towards south, as day length was more, or
we can say at place A, south to place B, will be having sun set time later than the sun set time at place B.
the sun was expected to be in sky at place A even though it had set at B.

Few more such things which might be possible:
If you are flying west, at sufficiently faster speed, you might really feel like sun
has risen from the west for complete journey.
If you are going west, you might experience sun set at east...
and prolonged sun rise is also possible..


Finally the sun set that day...
but it left its traces permanently into my memory...Like a line carved on a stone...
Though technically it is not any surprise...
it was an unprecedented event in my life..and not sure whether I will be able to see this things again?
When I will be able to experience again?

I Am What I Am

Unprecedented

It was Sunday in cold winter. I was in Delhi for short visit. I had been on flight few times, still I am always excited about the take off..
That day, flight was at 545 pm from Delhi to Bangalore.
I reached airport that day well in advance...wanted to make sure that I will get
window sit. I approached the counter to get my boarding pass....

The lady at the counter checked my ticket and asked, "Any preference sir?".
"Yes, please give me window sit", me.
"Sure", the lady.
Yeah...so I got the window sit.

Now, I had to kill almost one and half hour ...
Every moment was like an hour...
Was checking for boarding call for me every 5 minutes....
In between watching females/gals (;)) roaming here and there...

Finally they announced the boarding call...
I immediately went to gate number 2...
and within few minutes I was on my sit...overwhelmed about the take off.
Just was looking outside the window...
On west side horizon I saw the sun was sinking..
I was just watching him descending @ west...
West horizon was full of orange and saffron color....
I was in completely in a different world...
the sun has said good bye...I just happened to salute him...

"Excuse me sir, can you please put on seat belt please?", air hostess on board...
I was back to reality...
"Yes, Thanks!!"
And normal instruction set on flight was being announced while plane was moving towards airstrip.

Plane took a turn,
I was not able to see the saffron horizon after the sun-set, as plane was headed east...
Then slowly plane came on the runway...

Now plane geared up ..all wings ready...crafts engine is roaring....
and booooooooooom..
Within few seconds it got the speed...
The building were going backwards at very high speed...
Ecstasy of take off was at its peak and the plane was in the air...
I lost the sensation of the speed...
it was feeling of void between me and earth...
but it was giving a nice feeling...
I guess some sort of piece of mind...
(Its just like a single cycle of saw tooth wave..)

Remaining part of this will be posted in Part 2.

I Am What I Am

Time

Hello everybody,

These are lyrics of song 'time' by Pink Floyd. Though these are easily available on net, to share it with folks here....

...and have your comments on the lyrics....actually not on the lyrics
but how u feel after reading this lyrics?
Honestly, when I heard this, I felt,
R I have to think whether my life is also becoming like this or what?
I liked this line most : No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun...
(Does not mean it happened with me ;) )

So here is the song,

Lyrics

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees

Welcome to my blog...!!!

There is huge scope for improving my writing skills as well as typing speed...
So, I really wonder right now how much I will blog regularly...
But soon or later, I will be....Neways, let me post my first blog

What I found that many people in this world try to project themselves to be as individuals
they would like to be rather than what they are.

Definitely, everybody should always pursuit to be an person which is ideal for himself or herself...
but should not try to project self as that person even though he/she is not...

That's why my display name is I am what I am....
