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...

Pursuing Master of Computer Application at the Age of 44

 The headline of this article tells a lot about what it will be about.

This is my story and I am Himanshu Tomar. Why does it matter that someone read my personal story?

I am just writing down my mind here. This is the shape of the shapeless and endless thoughts that keeps running through my mind all day.


I wanted to pursue master of computer application when I was 23.

I did a one-year certificate course from NIIT when I was in college and that is when I got the idea that I should pursue my career in this field.

I wanted to take admission in JNU, Jawaharlal University, but the seats were limited and the competition was tough, which I was not able to clear.

I went to my dad's friend to have some career suggestions, and he diverted me to pursue MBA.

Now, at the age of 44 I feel that it was the worst suggestion of my life, and more than that it was the worst decision of my life.

Always and ever I had felt that I am a technical person. I am good in messing with machines and not in managing humans.

Pursuing master of business administration from Master School of Management, Meerut, put my life on a completely different track.

First I was burdened with an education loan of 1 lakh. Back then at the age of 22, I was not mature enough to handle the pressure of this education loan.

I wanted to get on a job badly and I don't want to sit at home even for one day.

In this life being diverted by my fate I lost track of what I should be doing.

Now, my earning has stagnated, and since I am almost 44 it has become difficult for me to find job, since I am competing against 25 to 30 age bracket.

I am earning 5.4 LPA as a content writer and in a city like Chandigarh it is difficult to move ahead, given the fact that I do not have a technical background, meaning I do not have a bachelor of technology in computer science or master of computer application degree.

This is the reason to improve my earning potential I am thinking of pursuing an MCA degree.

I do not know how much benefit it will give me, as I am already 44. Learning new things are difficult now, and my mind is certainly not active as a 24 year old.

I have started learning AWS cloud practioner course, particularly because it is available free at present on amazon skill builder. 

It will tell me as to where I stand at this moment, how good my learning ability is.

In case anyone has suggestion on how I should go about it, kindly share their thoughts in the comment section.

When I get optimistic I feel that if I have good knowledge after completing MCA than I will be able to earn much more. As I am already having lot of experience, a good company would want to hire a person like me.

But when I get pessimistic, I feel that I will be beaten by 25 year old who will be competing for the same job.

But I also think that, If I get good knowledge after completing MCA than I can create my applications and will be able to earn through them.

Let's see what happens, as of now, I want to complete the AWS cloud practioner thing as quickly as possible. I have not be regular in studying that, which is a big minus. 

I will keep updating this section as new developments take place. stay tuned, and please don't forget to mention whatever you feel good or bad or even if you want to make fun of my idea.

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...
