The Role of Air Traffic Controller in the Cirrus Tragedy at William P. Hobby Airport

  Just now I saw a video that was uploaded by Air Safety Institute. I feel sorry for the three people who died in that tragedy, particularly feeling sorry for the female pilot who was at complete peace and calm till the last moments even though she was burdened by air traffic controllers with frequent instructions throwing her all around at the airport. The elaboration detailed by the Air Safety Institute mostly blaming the pilot for the tragedy forced me to write this article. We may agree that in most cases we blame the pilot for any incident or accident. The elaboration given by ASI is quite sorted, but the thing I didn’t like in here is that the first culprit here is found to be the private pilot who had minimal amount of flying experience. It is easy to blame the pilot for not being alive to fight for her case and everyone else involved in the tragedy, particularly the ATC who want to save their jobs and reputation.  What I didn’t like was the cirrus private pilot was as...

7 of 10 for Cafe 21 Restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib

Raise your hand if you don't like to eat out!

If anyone claims to be so, than it is certainly not true, for there wouldn't be so many restaurants coming up.

I don't remember a weekend when me and my wife had food at home!

Well, it is certainly nothing to be proud of, but this is how we are.

This past weekend we camped at Cafe 21 restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib to subside our hunger for diverse food.


 After juggling through the menu we picked up two items, this is a drill in which 99% of the time I come first. I should say my wife come second, not the last, to avoid her from obvious shame!!

Anyways, we picked up a paneer grilled taco and veg. burger.


 So after ordering the stuff it barely took 5 minutes for the first dish to arrive on our table. I would call this ETA to be under standard test conditions as there was none else dining at that time.

The first item to come on our table was the veg burger, and I must say that I liked how it was served.

I mean the plate was cute and sweet. I didn't asked my wife's opinion on this, but I am sure she will be in agreement, or else she must have said something.

The plate was in the shape of a pearl shell, I may be missing the exact term but this is some sea stuff.


 The burger tasted good, the bun was not hot, the patty inside was appropriately hot and the dressing inside tasted good as well.

Most restaurants here heat about the bun as well as they prepare the burger, which I am sure is technically wrong.

I bet McDonald's would be highly disappointed when they see these local versions of the burgers!

I must add here that before coming to this restaurant I had already eaten chole bhature at Yadav at Shri Anandpur Sahib.

Well, to tell you a small tale, I wanted to have chole bhature but my wife to have something else. 

So, my tummy was already full, still the food tasted good, even though I was not completely hungry.

The second item to arrive on the table was the paneer grilled taco, and here is how it was presented.


Nice, 10 on 10 for presentation, that plate though resembled some sea being, looks like the owner of the restaurant had a liking for sea creatures.

The black shell shaped plates, with paneer grilled taco wrapped in an aluminum foil. The whole arrangement was appealing to look at.

I was kind of bit disappointed with the taste though, as it was little bit sweet. Probably, the taco's are made this way, which is something not to my liking.

Anyways, I found a way out for this sweet tasting paneer grilled taco, that is, I squeezed some ketchup on the plate and sprinkled some seasoning on it.

When I had the taco with this arrangement it subsided the sweet tasting sauce that was used in it.

Thankfully, my wife did not had any complaint with the sweet taste of the taco, or else I would have to swallow the whole taco by myself.

Overall I would rate 7 of 10 for Cafe 21 restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib.

And this place is worth paying another visit.

Virgin Reviews - My 20 Years Journey on Bajaj Platina, Bajaj Discover and Now Honda Unicorn

I see very few Honda Unicorn these days in the Chandigarh area. Which is bit surprising as at present and Arguable Honda is dominating the two wheelers market in India. Both its scooters and motorcycles are selling like hot cakes. If not more, as per my observation at least 50% of the total two wheelers market is captured by Honda. This I am saying without reading any stats. I have observed that Honda Unicorn is the least seen motorcycle in Punjab and Chandigarh area. Among all the two wheelers that are made by Honda motorcycles company, I guess and as per my observance, Honda Unicorn is the least sold one. Ever since I saw the Honda Unicorn motorcycle, that was roughly 20 years back, I had fallen in love with it. This love was admiration-from-a-distance kind of only, because this motorcycle had been little over my budget ever since it came out. Our being a lower middle class family, we were only able to afford a platina motorcycle, that is easy to purchase and easy to maintain with hi...

The Khyber Hotel, Shri Anandpur Sahib Review: Food, Ambience, and Service

It was another dining out date with my wife a few days back. Just like on many other occasions we decided to try out something new. Thankfully there are many new options to dine out in Shri Anandpur Sahib now, although, not every is to our liking. Attention, we said not to our liking, we did not say not to our standard, for every eating out restaurant in Anandpur Sahib is unique in its own way. Last time, when we dined out at Roots Restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib we were a little disappointed.  I wrote a complete article on our experience at Roots Restaurant which you can read by clicking on the link given below So, this time The Khyber Hotel came under our scanner, and boy it was a complete delight to be there. Just like the majority of the American and Canadian commercial outlets, Indian concerns too have also started erecting such sign boards which notify the presence of a facility from a long distance. The Khyber Hotel, as the road side glow sign signifies, has a party hall, ...

The UK Immigration Embracing eVisa While Mitigating Technical Risks

  Technology always breathes new life into a system and alters our way of working. However, it takes time and numerous changes to make a technology foolproof. Those who have lived the time computers came must be familiar with it. Technology change is something that we complain about today, but we thank later. A new move by the UK can be seen as the dawn of a new era and may see the same transition. When everything is going digital why should the immigration process be left behind? The UK government is currently busy putting in place a completely digital immigration system. This means those applying for immigration to the UK will not see the paper documents like a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) but will see the electronic records of the immigration status, or eVisa . The goal of the Home Office is to make the system work on its own with minimal to no paper usage by the end of 2024, according to the Home Office Digital, Data and Technology Strategy 2024 . This is not a new thing, a...
