Where shall i start to tell this crazy story… An Awesome free fall twisted ride once in a life time experience. Never in my my life time I thought I would dare to try this. Every time Manish spoke about it , I said are you crazy your life is very precious to me and stopped him from thinking about it.He always wanted me to try it with him, and with a hope that some day I will waited so long.
Just the previous night at a get-together , we were discussing about this with our friends. Next day morning I was just browsing through online, and came across a video of my friend trying this crazy fall. After seeing that I said to Manish, Lets go for it. First he thought I was joking, when I said what now you don’t want to try when I am ready, he was like stop kidding (with a surprised face). I said I no kidding, you better check for the place before I change my mind 
It was Monday morning, as it was a labor day holiday we had long weekend. Hoping we could find some place close by, searched on Google and we found this amazing place. Called up to find if we can book for two. On the other side of the phone she said we are running full, but I can try to squeeze you in , how about 1. We said cool we will be there. Best part was we planned, decided and found out everything within an hour (this is called instant planning 
). It was an hour drive from our place luckily we had some time in our hand (with all excitement we missed out minute details hehehe )…
We reached there by 12:30, the drive to the place was awesome. When we reached there we could see people waiting at the picnic area, next to it was a small shed where they were organizing the bag pack for the next flyer. My heart racing fast and butterflies flying in my stomach we entered the office. She asked us to weight as their was already someone taking the video training. Every time we asked her for the details she said first you take the video training and than we shall talk about everything.
After 15mins of wait, we were watching the training video, the video was educational, it spoke about our safety, what to do when we are up their how to stretch our hands, legs, and smile it was a 15 min video.
Ooops I spoke about everything but I forgot to mention what it is all about im talking about sky diving yup you heard it right skydiving from 7000ft , sounds crazy haaaa !! it was..;)
After the training video we filled in all the forms, signed witness for each other , when I was filling out the form, it had so many legal entities stating like I’m taking this at my own risk and will not held responsible for any loss of life or death. I was like OMG I am not doing it… Manish was like come on we have come all this way and see all these people are falling from the sky they look so happy and sound safe lets do it…. hmmm sounded so funny hehehe.. some how I signed all the forms and we were set. She asked us what would you like to do today, 10,000 ft ,7000 ft, 4000ft. It was like what would you like have today vanilla, strawberry or banana heheheheh..Without any pause we said 7000ft . After a wait of 45 mins our turn came.
We got suits to wear, and the staff their geared us up with all the equipments. At that moment I dint feel anything. I was like ok lets try and see how it goes.. Once we were ready they took us in a truck to nearby airport, from where we boarded a small jet which caries 4 people. I and Manish had instructor’s of our own who were tied to us, so that when we fall, we have our life guard with us , well that made us feel a little safe but still the heart was saying you crazy idiot what are you doing hehehe….
The jet was so small, the plane started when we reached at around 4000 ft I looked around it was so beautiful, but when 7000 ft came up and the pilot opened the door, I was like O……….. !!! what the H?…!!! Manish was the first one to try, just as he took his steps out, my instructor said you are next, i said no way, he said Oops you are too late for that.. My first steps out side the plane wow heavy wind, my instructor kept saying keep your legs on the board I’m like I cannot , he is like you got to.. some how i managed and just before i could blink I am out. Those 15 secs of free fall Wow I couldn’t feel my heart beat all I could hear was Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! it was crazy… Once the parachute was out we were a little stable and that was fun. Could see all around , and I should tell you it looks awesome,just one song coming into my mind- “I believe I can Fly, I believe I can touch the sky…..” wow amazing view better than the one you see from an airplane. Felt like a bird.
I also tried gearing the parachute my trainer showed me a few moves it was fun, after a swirl in the sky, time for landing. Funny part was for landing we have to bring our legs up to the knees and straighten them, when my instructor asked me to do that I shouted O shoot I’m not able to do it now what.. hehehe.. he was like no no you can try try .. luckily had a safe landing, as soon as we got to land i kissed the grass and said I am safe
Always heard sky is falling sky is falling in the movies , this time I was falling from the sky it was amazing… I am glad my sweet heart pulled me into trying this crazy Wild Ride. A Transcending Reality Awesome… Love it The best moment of life… and i got my certificate too Thrilling Dream Came true…
