Its Fun to Fly

Each one of us during our childhood would have envied the birds flying high in the sky and would have wished if even we could have flew..

This wish was finally fulfilled when a few of us went parasailing near Hoskote. After the first attempt to go parasailing got cancelled due to rain, few people dropped off. We were left with four of us to go skywards. Thanks to one of my late-latif friend,we reached Hoskote on our bikes by 11:30.

The para sailing is organised in the Hoskote lake bed area around 40 kilometers from bangalore.The day was not too windy and we had to wait for the wind to catch up to get a nice flight. The parachute was attached to our back and we are tied to a gypsy using a long rope. Finally my turn came. The gypsy moved forward and the wind lifted me off the ground. It was a wonderful experience to get a feel of flying. The height of the flight was around 150 ft and the view from the top was awesome. The flight lasted around 2 minutes but the experience was a memorable one...

How I wish I could fly everyday to office,beating the traffic :)

(PS :: Have been waiting for the video from my friend..will upload that soon)
