Flying High

I just love air trips, one for the sheer experience of flying high up above and second for the short travel time. The most exhilarating feeling is when the huge man-made winged beast takes-off to the blue skies. It’s just amazing that such a huge machine can climb so gracefully. I just love the feeling when the plane is airborne. The powerful whirring of engines when it is taxing generates varied emotions and racing thoughts. At one moment the beast is just calmly prowling on the ground waiting for the pilot to take it high up above and the next moment the adrenalin pumping acceleration pushes you back into your seat. One realizes the power of the plane as it just leaves the pull of the earth defying gravity and keeps climbing. The majestic bird takes to the skies as effortlessly as the soaring eagle. There aren’t exact words or emotions to describe the feeling one gets. Fly and you know how it is.
