Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds.
There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted.
The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thousands of people watching live and millions of on television. The preparations, even for highly experienced pilots, begin a fortnight before the Republic day parade. The team leaders and Deputy Leaders meet on January 13 for their familiarisation of flying day. January 19 is the day when both the leaders fly in their formation with a continuous practice till January 22. Rigorous training, total discipline, teamwork, focus to the task at hand, risks taking, total faith in each other’s ability, alertness and leadership, display flying is much more than just display of fine flying skills.

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...

Can't Khans express their views???

What's wrong in aamir statement  ??? He just said what his wife said to him. Doesn't he have the freedom of expression. Can't he speak in his own country??? Some foolish and stupid people make nonsense from newsense.  Some of the people  Specially politicians just overreact and make it a political issue for their benefits.. People are making the bad use of new media either through Whatsapp or through Facebook by forwarding the message of not seeing Khan's movies.. Ok you people doesn't want to watch their movies because they spoke in favour of tolerance.  Suppose this same statement would have been said by any hindu actor, Have u done the same??? No, this issue wouldn't have become this much big.  We people say that our country is secular but The message and pictures which are being forwaded does it satisy our secularism. It is written in message that don't watch movies of muslims , ok tell me If you doesn't watch their movies coz they (SRK & Aamir...

कितना महत्वपूर्ण है सलमान का जेल में नाश्ता न करना

पिछले 2,3 दिनों के खबर पर अगर नजर डाले तो सलमान खान ही दिख रहें है। मिजोरम के एनआईटी कॉलेज में एक छात्र की जान कॉलेज के खराब खाने से चली गयी, वहा के छात्र इस पर धरने पर बैठे है। इसकी खबर कितनों ने दिखाई। किसानों को उनके आलु के दाम ठीक से नहीं मिल पा रहे कहां पढ़ लिया आपने। पेट्रोल के दाम कई जगहों पर 80 के पार चले गये, इस पर कितने बहस सुन लिए या लेख पढ़ लिए। जो गलती हमने श्री देवी जी के देहांत को कवर करने में की, वहीं गलती आज फिर दोहरा रहे है। क्या सलमान एक आम इंसान की तरह जेल में रहने पर अपने आने वाली फिल्मों में वही एक्शन और स्टाइल नहीं दोहरा पाएंगे। मैनें पहले भी लिखा है और आज भी लिख रहा हु। मीडिया से ज्यादा इसमें हमारी गलती है, हम देखते ही क्युं है ऐसी खबरों को। क्यों जरुरी है ये जानना कि सलमान जेल में कैसे बाथरुम का प्रयोग कर रहे हैं। हमें फर्क इस बात से पड़ना चाहिए कि संसंद का काम इतना कम क्यों हुआ है। एक न्युज पोर्टल के मुताबिक पिछले 18 सालों में सबसे कम काम इसी बजट सत्र में हुआ है। “ पीआरएस लेजिस्लेटिव रिर्सच ” (जो विधायी कार्यों के सोध से जुड़ी संस्था है) ने बताया कि दो ...
