My Daily Encounters

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

Yesterday I saw something majestic while flying from Mumbai to Delhi. Near Delhi  there were layers of clouds floating above my aeroplane. Sun rays filtered through them and there I saw the shadow of my aeroplane surrounded by the radiation rainbow interference ring. It was absolutely stunning to look at. I just could not get my eyes off the beautiful view. This phenomena is known as Aircraft glory.

God and his creations are mesmerizing. It is beyond our imagination. After flying an aircraft not just my life but my viewpoint about life is changing everyday.

I believe we all are like an aircraft shadow surrounded by our own unique aura. Everyone has got his own aura. Everyone is special. So try and feel your own beautiful aura. And maybe you will end up knowing yourself much better and may be you all will start valuing your own self.

JOURNEY TO THE DREAM

I was running and sweating

The path was thorny

I was burning and bleeding

The path became shiny

The more I was going towards it

The more it was running away
I kept moving without a say

People called me insane

Some called me a looser

Some laughed like a snoozer

Some tried to give me hope

Some forced me to elope

But I kept moving

I kept running and sweating

I kept bleeding and burning

Why have I dreamt so?

Life is always GO NO GO

I chose to GO

People pulled me back

Time told me to go and pack

Circumstances broke me down

I cried, I screamed, I frown

But I kept running and sweating

I kept bleeding and burning

They laughed first and they copied

They had to pay the heed

The fire inside me is growing each day

Say whatever you wanna say

I’ll reach the target I have set

Let me burn, bleed and become wet

The path is chosen by me

I am not your responsibility

I’ll keep running and sweating

I’ll keep bleeding and burning

WHAT MORE YOU CAN ASK IN LIFE ???

"This poem depicts the elements I love about Aviation. Aviation has given to me freedom, adventure, personality, the passion for living. To be up there  with clouds surrounding me, with the sunlight falling on the windscreen, with the engines sounding constantly, and me controlling the flying machine,simply feeling the flying. Nothing else I can ask for in life."

WHAT MORE YOU CAN ASK IN LIFE ???

Aviation has given us science

Aircraft is a boon of innovation

Flying machine keeps us connected

It reduces the distances

It keeps the feeling alive

What more you can ask in life

Aviation  has given us freedom

Flying high in the sky

Listening to the engine's sound

Flying gives you peace 

which cant be easily found

It keeps the feeling alive

What more you can ask in life

Aviation has given us adventure

Doing flying maneuvers

Spiral dive, spin, lazy eight, chandelles

Are just few to name

Flying gives us a fame

It gives us constant excitement

It keeps the feeling alive

What more you can ask in life

Aviation has given us beauty

Touching the clouds

Passing through them

View of horizon

View of the grassland

The terrain below 

Is a painting for us

It keeps the feeling alive

What more you can ask in life

Aviation has given us personality

The uniform I can die for

Epaulets, the wings, the collar pin

Add to our confidence

When we walk through the crowd

We bring the thunderstorm

Turning faces is the proof

You can never escape an eye

When pilots are here

It keeps the feeling alive

What more you can ask in life

YES

My dear fellow aviators, today I gonna tell you the strength of word YES, importance of optimism. In this scenario where aviation sector is hit by recession, we guys should not stop hoping, Being positive and determined is the key to success. Here it flows:-

YES

Yes contains each and every religion
It contains trust, surrender, love and vision
It contains every prayer
It has all, that we can't share

If Yes is said with totality of heart
You have said
All that can be said

Yes is significant only
When you are capable of saying NO totally
The greatest good is
Saying Yes to life and whatever exists

No is mind's closed state
Yes is an open flower having no rate
Yes can bring revolution
In each and every generation

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

LIFE - THE WINE OF EXISTENCE

Hello fellow pilots, today I have written a poem to boost up your morale. I want you to know the real meaning of LIFE.

LIFE (WINE OF EXISTENCE)

What’s life? Think hard

Let’s be a drunkard

Drink with life- the wine of existence

Never be colorless, dead and tense

Never remain sober

Bloom like a flower

Sober remains dead

Like naked trees that had shed

What’s life? Think harder!

Let’s be a carefree dancer

Dance on the tune of life

Don’t walk on the tip of knife

Never be a hated noise

Try to be an inspirational voice

Give your best shot on life’s dice

Don’t dare to fill it with unnecessary spice

What’s life? Think hardest

Let’s be a turtle who is slowest

Speed can ruin your lives

Increasing bank balance, diamond jewelry

Is mirage, juicy hives of life.

To extract that juice of hive

You are losing delicious juice of life

Relations have become hollow

Vitamin-’M’ (money) is the tablet,

Everyone wants to swallow

Life you are leading is merely a fiction

Life has poetry, music, juice and addiction

Live life to the utmost

So that you can boast

That that moment passed

And you haven’t missed

You lived it

You tasted it

You danced in it

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

COMPASS OF MY HEART

I have set the compass of my heart
I feel as if I am your part
As your image appears in my eye
My heart beats faster than ASI

I feel I am on top of the world
Mah height, Altimeter can never register
Mah plane of love is on horizon
Touching your soul the most beautiful one

As I come close to you
Mah vertical speed keep on rising
Distances makes mah vertical speed falling
With you time gets stuck
You are mah holy luck

Your essence gives me goose bumps
You are the reason why my heart pumps
With you I feel like a free bird
Mah Love in mah life you'll always be preferred

SOUL OF THE PILOT- UNIFORM

The prime reason for me to become the pilot is THE UNIFORM. and I believe it has to be the reason for many. Today I have written a poem about Pilot's soul, his uniform. Here it goes:-

SOUL OF THE PILOT- UNIFORM

Our soul is our Uniform

We walk through the crowd

And bring the thunderstorm

Uniform makes us proud

Epaulettes on our shoulders

Is the epitome of responsibility

The way we carry our folders

Makes us look appealing personality

Our soul is our Uniform

We walk through the crowd

And bring the thunderstorm

Uniform makes us proud

Sparkling Wings on our side pocket

Denotes  our experience level

Flying is our one and only asset

We are known for the way we revel

Our soul is our Uniform

We walk through the crowd

And bring the thunderstorm

Uniform makes us proud

Black Cap of honor on our head

Gives us a finishing touch

Amazement is the thing we spread

In bad days, Uniform is our crutch

Our soul is our Uniform

We walk through the crowd

And bring the thunderstorm

Uniform makes us proud
