Yes! Finally I jumped out of the plane!

skydive dubai

Date to remember : 2 Sept'22


Jumping out of an airplane at 13000 feet at a speed of 120 miles an hour with a man strapped to my back was definitely on my bucket list.


I was hooked on @dhruvrathee ‘Sky dive in dubai is safer than driving in India’. I passed through the door like I am a pro skydiver and head straight to the plane.

From that moment everything went incredibly fast – instructor pushing me into the plane, camera man asking about my last words (really??). My instructor is like ‘Just trust me’.

It was all going so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to get stressed until I stood on the edge of the plane looking down at the tiny Earth below me. wow, what a sight! Not only you could see the whole marina from a bird’s eye view but also the Palm Jumeirah and The World archipelago.

OMG, this is actually going to happen! The instructor started the countdown: 3…2…1…NOOO! In the first few seconds we were spinning in the air, I couldn’t tell what is happening.

The freefall was actually the best part of the jump, lasted for only 60 seconds. Ah, sweet taste of freedom. After the parachute is deployed and you can enjoy the view. Except for a moment when your instructor decides to loosen your straps. Common, don’t let me go now, ok ?

We have landed on our feet and the photographer was already waiting for us in the drop zone. I did it! And it felt awesome! So awesome, that I would repeat it in a heartbeat!

“Remember to smile and look up!” Or else you have a face just like on this video.



Location: Palm Jumeirah - The Palm Jumeirah - Dubai - United Arab Emirates

Date to remember: 3 Dec'19 Started with some technical lesson and instruction, at first felling trouble with breathing apparatus. Then went underwater to satisfy my curiosity and as I sinked myself and went down ____it was like WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!!!!!!!!!! The visual like Wonderland. Suddenly the colors all around me changed and it turned bluish -green.  There was a completely DIFFERENT WORLD out.  There was complete peace and silence, only sound I could hear is sound of my own heartbeat and the sound of my breath. We saw some small fish, lots of coral , the some school of fish, big fish, colourful coral, some Urchin, giant cucumber, yellow fish, zebra fish, A-fish, B-fish, No name fish, then I also found NEMO the clown fish and baby shark too. Ohh! I was ecstatic seeing the fishes swimming around me. I was so lost that I forgot to breath literally. (breathing through mouth is not a common reflex). As started going deeper and deeper my ears hurt. Following my div...

Best Way To Explain Your Job

When people outside my field domain try to ask me about my day at work, we usually end up discussing what I had for dinner plans. They mean well, but most of the time the understanding of technology stopped somewhere around discounts receives with respect to different online shopping sites.  So, after understanding this mutual pain, I turned to find a solution.
