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...

Thanking The One Thousand Years Back and Now

 Once upon a time, someone was milking a cow, and a thought came into his mind that he should thank "The One" who created a creature that could give such a life-giving thing to drink.

Then he thought what better way to thank "The One" than by offering the same milk that had been gifted to him.

But where to find "The One" who gifted him with this.

He searched for "The One" everywhere but he had no clue as to where he was.

After much research, a thought came into the little heart of that person. He gathered some mud, wet it with water, and formed a small tomb-like thing, maybe in the shape of a small hump.

He then gathered his thoughts and in his heart, he thought of "The One" who gave him animals that give healthy life-giving milk.

In his heart, he said I consider this small tomb as you "The One" because I am not able to find you anywhere after much search.

And to thank you for giving me such a life-saving thing to drink, I offer to you this milk that you have gifted me.

He closed his eyes and thought of "The One" wherever that person was, and poured the milk on that small tomb considering that he was offering this milk to "The One".

It was a thought, it was a gesture of pure thankfulness from that person.

This act that you are being thankful to "The One" must have been well accepted. Others too joined him and it started happening at regular intervals.

This act of being thankful happened thousands of years back when there were few people and an abundance of cows that gave life-giving milk.

In the present time, when there are many more people and far fewer cows compared to that time, the same act of being thankful to "The One" does not hold quite a justification or make sense.

Thousands of years back there were almost limitless resources and only a handful of takers.

In the present time, it is almost the opposite.

When there has been a sea change in the way we live in the present time from that of thousands of years back, we should change the way we express our thankfulness to "The One".

Maybe we should ensure that this milk reaches where it is needed more or be distributed equally.

The act that was 100% correct thousands of years back is probably not in the present time.

Since every being is created by The One, it is the duty of the ones who have it in abundance should give it to those who don't.

It sounds too theoretical, but it can at least be done on 1 day at least, just like the day when that person thanked "The One".

I request suggestions for a better way to thank "The One"

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

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...
