was "here" past weekend 😀
'unique ideas' dreams, my friend, do come true :)
i had written about amazing marathoner - Fauja Singh earlier .. i am sure many were inspired by his life and story which was true manifestation of "impossible is nothing" ... recently, he was again in news - and further proving it in a tragic way since he died at 114 not for health reasons but due to accident (just!) 400 meters away from home! :(
this also reminded of another news where a "dead" person comes back to life due to the ambulance hitting a pot hole on the way :)
heard this mentioned by someone today - tried to locate it more .. seems by TS Eliot :
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
i have been a passenger in airplane (flights) many times - sometimes locally (domestic) and sometimes cross country (international) .. however, this was first time the pilot changed him mind last minute - and just while we were expecting to hit the runway for routine landing (KTM to DEL), we experienced the plane started to gain height (altitude) .. with recent news items around airplane incidents, i was bit anxious .. and only after few minutes, while it was already obvious, the announcement confirmed - we will come back for 2nd attempt to land post some 9 minutes! (there were no more details shared) ... luckily, we did not have any further unexpected turn of events! grateful :)
In the past week, we both have been to 7 airports - some planned and others unplanned .. 🙂
