paragliding P2
yet again I am publishing a post 2 months after I wrote the draft.. think I should stop saving drafts and post whenever I am moving away from my desk.. even if it were to drink water
I thought I would contine with how I spent the first day of the new year with jenny n seenu in that resort in pune.. drive on the express way in my bro’s getz.. reached a top speed of 160kmph for a moment, consitent on 150. took a pic of that too
dont know if I would be able to beat that in europe with the strict rules.. havent tried driving yet in Denmark, so I dont know the top speeds here.. not sure if I would be able to drive on Autobahn this year. but will do it sometime.. nalli on call.. save draft? nope.. publish

done with the P2 course before coming to Denmark. It was good, but not as much as we expected. It was probably bad timing as the winds were changing from east to west. but this was an advantage too as we got to fly from 3 different locations in 4 days.. pavana lake, tower hill, shellar. pavana lake was the most scenic of all. I wanted to soar as long as I can but the flight hardly lasted 15min.. same was the case with tower hill. but with 750 odd feet height, it gave a very good feeling of flying. The best one was the shellar one. had a long flight.. for about 40min.. soared much higher than from where I took off.. got a feel of actual flying.. I plan to get back to flying as soon as I go back.
Trying to recollect what all happened.. it always happens that when jenny is around, he gets all the memories.. ofcourse the funny ones… the one when jenny turned towards the ridge( you are not allowed to do that) and TJ yelled ‘where is your bloody mind’.. lolz.. and the other one..
TJ: janardhan please turn left
Jenny:(starts turning right)
TJ: janardhan please turn left
Jenny:(turns further right)
TJ: left, left, janardhan, LEFT, LEFT
Jenny: (turns further right.. thinks-why is this man shouting even when I am following the instructions so religiously)
TJ: the other left janardhan.. THE OTHER LEFT
Jenny: (now realizes that he has been turning towards the WRONG left, i.e right. now starts a left turn)
TJ: THANK YOU
