Confessions of regretful mind @ RVS

I don't know what to do laugh about them, feel guilty or regret confessing them. But any ways they have been part of me as have been few accidents. Yeah they were incident accidents as they then may have given me thrill or it was part of being part of bunch of friends or maybe excessive energy then didnt find right vent ...lol..
I may have forgotten few of them, in due course of time will forget more of them but was surprised :) that few people remember me by those incidents....


Lot has changed from then I feel like Saint now..lol.. seems like i have lived few lives in this life..
I think the idea of telling them myself was inspired after reading a book by someone I really admire, love and look-up to, someone if somehow has even iota of influence on me I would be honored and obliged for my life and feel like worth living a life. He is father of my nation, India, Mahatma Gandhi.

So here goes list Confessions of Era gone past:

1. inspired a guy to ledge a preacher of history in the place to answer natures call

2. bunked and bunked and bunked till bunks seemed like holidays and lost the thrill of bunking and started so young that when other started bunking i preferred to sit in class or sleep.

3. inspired and taught people to roll...lol ...

4. someone took me by surprise when i was leisurely taking from his property what is so abundant in place called Saudi.. to my grace there were few friends who saved the grace ..whatever was ... but to my chagrin few of my then friends may be remembering me by these incidents...

5. threatened a soi-disant preacher of a subject which i liked a lot until it was taught by him since then its been a pain... still curse you man... u added one more weakness to the long list.. but i feel happy to save others from falling into same trap, I got him fired... :)

6. something i truly regret was rare but so uncool and unworthy ...lol ... under the confluence of company or being to curious tried to be a peeping tom... :(

THE LIST IS LONG WILL TAKE FEW DAYS TO COMPILE IT

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY

Account of Ariel Tragedies in Indian Skies:
I am by saddened death of YSR, CM of Andra Pradesh, India. At this unfortunate time I am astounded at number of crisis in India skies specially Copter/helicopter Accidents and moreover number of them have brought demise to Indian National Congress popular leaders.

I have tried to put the list in chronological order with cause of accident and toll of death and profile of the main person

1. S Kumaramangalam, a Congress leader, died in a plane crash in 1973 near New Delhi. Not much info is available on this one.served as minister for steel and mines in the Indira Gandhi Cabinet till his death in a plane crash.

2. Sanjay Gandhi (December 14, 1946 – June 23, 1980) as per wikipedia -- air crash - near Safdarjung Airport in New Delhi - flying a new aircraft of the Delhi Flying club, and, while performing a loop over his Office, lost control and crashed - Captain Subhas Saxena was also killed - went up in his Pitts S-2A aerobatic biplane despite an explicit prohibition by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation mere weeks before the crash - he was not rated to pilot, the DGCA, Air Marshal (Retd.) J. Zaheer, DGCA had, earlier, censured Gandhi for illegally piloting a commercial plane (with passengers)."

3.Madhavrao Scindia (10 March 1945–30 September 2001)- his private secretary Rupinder Singh, four journalists - Anju Sharma (Hindustan Times), Sanjiv Sinha (Indian Express), Ranjan Jha (Aaj Tak TV channel) and Gopal Bisht (Aaj Tak). The plane was piloted by Raj Gautam.The chartered plane, a 10-seater Cessna C-90 - identifier VTE--F - owned by the Jindal Group, took off from Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi at 1249 hours. bad weather, coupled with a possible cloud burst, probably caused the crash -the aircraft caught fire in mid-air and crashed into a thicket near bhainsroli village, about 22 km from mainpuri

4. G.M.C. Balayogi (October 1, 1951 – March 3, 2002)- Bell 206 helicopter -- crashed in Kaikalur in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday morning - An official probe established that the 2002 crash was caused when the pilot, unable to continue due to poor visibility and searching for an appropriate place to land, made an error of judgment by mistaking a pond to be a land surface. his personal assistant and the pilot died.went down into a pond after it developed technical snag and its blades hit an overhead wire.

5. O.P. Jindal (7th August 1930- 31st March 2005) Menghi village in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh. Cause: Engine malfunction. Surendra Singh were killed when the chopper carrying them went down near Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh March 31, 2005.

6. Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (8 July 1949 – 2 September 2009) On September 2, 2009 Bell 430 helicopter carrying YSR went missing in the Nallamala forest area. On the morning of 3 September, 2009, helicopter was found crashed on top of Rudrakonda Hill, 40 nautical miles from Kurnool -- his special secretary P Subrahmanyam, chief security officer ASC Wesley, Group Captain SK Bhatia and Captain MS Reddy.

We can analysis it in different perspective but the aim of this blog was just give an account of incidences.

Ravindra Vikram Singh is an advocate practicing at various courts in Delhi. This blog as the title suggest soliloquy, is a monologue on this perception of drama of life and society. Views are personal.
