This
life was never by my will and this life will ever be now. For the forces that
have decided my life here on earth will also direct a path and destination to
it, the one we conveniently call destiny. Living is an illusion that we have
created for ourselves while we run this path. And so i jumped? Negative!
:)
I
took the that leap of faith with diver instructor "Fully" ,
with two metal clips bonding all the faith that two human beings can form and
share in a span of four minutes of conversation, because sky diving was the
wackiest i could think of after spending an year and a month in the nerve
grinding cocoon of an office cubicle.
..And
thus began that quick journey with 200km/hr wind on my face and white cold
clouds swallowing me whole towards its belly while i trailed a path of
unpredictable conclusions but a predictable landing!
The
answer to the question of whether i jumped or was pushed to the oblivion is as
debatable as the theory on origin of universe. I want to recollect from those
moments of haze that i was dragged for sure from the edge of that single prop Cessna.
( i will want to meet Mr. Tully for a talk ,in this or his next life ).
Previously
i had seen pictures of skydivers floating in mid air enjoying whatever they
thought they enjoyed hanging around there. Personally speaking, in a tandem
dive when done for the first time you don’t enjoy much, you just try to find
out first whether YOU are upside down or the world and secondly, you want to
find out if you are really hooked to your tandem instructor or if you are going
to die.
After
you’ve had your initial acceleration experience and that free fall craziness,
once the canopy opens and you straighten up, that’s when you are generally
allowed to pee, in your pants while (if you have the mind ) you scan the ground
below for the nearest exit from the hell hole.
Like
in most of the airborne adventures – gravity has the final word !! And i landed.
