The Purpose of Daman

Every person that we meet, every experience that we have, is towards the learning of something that we need to learn, towards some future only the universe can see. I don’t quite remember where I read this, or some words to this effect. But I find myself turning to these words so often these days. Because I’d really like to know exactly what is it that I have to learn from Daman, exactly what purpose this city is meant to serve in my saga.
I’m convinced that Daman occupies a place in this universe entirely unique to itself. There is no other city on this planet that is as astonishingly full of dismal contradictions.

Day 13- Freefall !!

Thursday, 06 2007

"You will be going for freefall tomorrow morning."

I must've woken up four times at least in the night. And every time, repeating to myself-"Check in-Check out-Horizon-Up - Down - and Arch!!" over and over, like a mantra- I tried to reassure myself to sleep.

Day 12- The day i jumped out of an aircraft thrice!!

Wednesday, 05 Dec 2007

My very first static line jump and my anxiety to do it well can only be imagined….by people equally crazy. My tandem jump last week was so much fun but I’m ashamed to admit that I had not paid much attention to the nuances of canopy flying. Which is how I’m hoping to explain why I landed in such varied locations today- all they had in common was that they were nowhere near the target landing area. Anyway here goes-

The days in between....

ON THE BOSES
Would these magical days have been so magical if I had decided to stay in the mess instead of with the Boses? Logic, experience and well meaning friends say that too much of being together can kill affection like nothing else can. “Ok, so they’re great friends of yours- so go to their house for dinner, go everyday if you want, and go spend a Sunday with them- but don’t stay with them for two weeks!!”
And yet, here I am, having defied logic, pooh poohed the well meaning friends.
