AN ODE TO THE BRAVE HEARTS

-
Came down the empyrean deluge,
Caught unawares were the multitude,

But those firm in fatigue green

BELLY-CAUSE! NOT BELLICOSE

-
Being in a continuous state of restlessness and an ever growing conscientiousness - both mentally and physically - of my tummy, has prompted me to give a job in the early morning for my legs. Burn some calories and to show some long lost love for the body. When you hear something like this  pompous, don’t be mistaken, I am not aiming for a flat and hard tummy with six neat packs across, rather I should be happy with a  waistline that will permit my much loved wardrobes to get to their destination up to the belly button.

I have time and again explained the nuances involved in flying an aircraft, most importantly a jet in the class of CRJ700, to these terrestrials, but in all counts have miserably failed. I took videos of difficult landings, take offs, stall-spins, and acrobatics I performed to convince these bipeds. But alas! Their adamant stand of the simulator being just another video game always prevailed.

You might call this extravagant - to see two posts in space of one hour - forgive  me, its the excitement of having a new blog. Akin to a potter, who moulds his pots and wares with utmost care, like the mother whose heart fills with inexpressible joy to see her offspring grow up - I feel content to watch the blog evolve. It might stumble, fall. But in the end, it will get up and walk. Please keep visiting this space in the cyber jungle for my views and updates on travel, music, movies, politics, geography, medieval history, painting, reading and aeromodelling.
