An ILS Approach After 14 Years – A Journey Through Time and Skills

  Shooting an ILS approach after 14 years. It was on Microsoft flight simulator, but it was worth knowing, it was consoling to know that I still know the things. I decided to fly out from Lakefront airport, as I was familiar with the environment. I decided to fly out to Gulfport airport which is just over 50 nautical miles from Lakefront airport at New Orleans. It was the flight path which was flown by me when I did my first cross-country flight. I asked for an IFR clearance and it was given as cleared for Gulfport airport as filed asking me to climb to 3000 feet. I was on runways 18R and decided to keep the climate foggy to get a real feel of using the ILS approach. I put in the throttle and climbed out, after a positive rate of climb I made a left turn to 067 degrees. The GPS showed that the airport was 54 NM from here. Since it was all white outside there was not anything to look around except to track the instruments. It was easy to maintain the altitude however, it was difficu...

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...

Unseen Scars of COVID-19 that Shaped my Life

  COVID-19 has not only uprooted economies, but also destroyed individuals both financially and healthwise. My daily routine was brought to a standstill during the second wave of the pandemic, as the notorious disease caught me. But even as the symptoms subsided, the lingering effect of the virus has been disrupting my life. Here I talk about my journey that went through the post-covid recovery and how it reshaped my thinking of health both mentally and physically. After being a victim of corona a lot of things have changed in my body and in my thoughts. I was still working in a college near Chandigarh, when, one early morning while riding towards my work I felt that something was just not right with me. By the time I reached the hostel room of the college, I was just not feeling the energy to move ahead. This happened during the second wave of the pandemic. Private colleges had partially opened and they had allowed some essential staff to stay within the hostel and look after dail...
