Shut up and Jump..

I wanted to publish this a while ago..got stuck somewhere..but here u go..

Lots of people have done this before and am sure lots of people will do this in the future.But that does not lessen the importance of what I have done...yes i did it ..Sky diving..

For those who does not know what is sky diving-my lecture!!

Jump from a plane from 14000 feet,experience a free fall at the speed of 125 miles/hr (200 kms/hr).Open the parachute at 3000 feet and save your life!!

does it sound interesting? or are you feeling the butterfly flying in your stomach? You will definitely think this as interesting if you are adventuorous person..but lots of people think this as insane...for those guys,you really need guts!!

If you want to do it in US,do it before winter..Most of the institutes stop diving in November 1st week.You really need a mental preparation for doing this..You can not just go and jump..But,I bet, you will really have fun.

The most excciting movement for me was to look at the ground from the plane,about to jump and seeing the earth through the clouds..Now You cant do anything..My instructor asked me lets go?..I said yeah..lets do it..we jumped ..did a summersault..now flying like a bird..going down 125 miles/hr..the videographer is taking the video..He asked me to smile..I said he he..the sound did not come out :-)

My instructor rotated me in the air..that was an awesome experience..You wont feel any fear because you cant calculate your speed..you dont have anything to compare your speed ..but you can see the earth approaching :-)

We opened the parachute around 3500 feet..Thank god..It opened properly :-)

After that it was an awesome view..Poconnos Mountain..In between he gave me the parachute control and i helped him to go to the correct direction..

We landed safe..I could not stand in my feet for some time..I saw My friend Shyam landing safely....

We challanged everyone who came with us to do this..I was in the real excitement!!

Next day Joe asked me why are you so happy..I said I just realized how important the life is..Sorry for being happy..
