The paraglider that never took off



Blame it on nature ... the long drive uphill to Malwadi a good 15 kms from Hadapsar did not pay off .

Had gone today with VC,VAM and Eric Menzes and his team from ParaGlidingIndia

Reached the take off spot around 4 pm , thats uphill around 1000 ft high

A hour long wait for the wind to blow .... sadly it never blew enough to take the paraglider up ... moreover it was cloudy.

The team just practised on the ground :-)

Marshall MG10CD Guitar Amp Rocks!

Got a new Marshall MG 10CD amp!

Makes quite a noise for the small size

14112005(033)

Was fiddling around with the gain and tone controls , pretty decent in built distortion i must say
Sound checked some songs:

1. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath -Black Sabbath ( Sounded good)
2. Shine- Collective Soul ( okish sound ..still working on getting that bluesy rock effect out of the amp.
3. Master of Puppets - Metallica ( not even close lol .. need a pedal to get the real crunchy effect )
4. Everybody Hurts- REM ( sounds good .. actually the amp really sounds nice clean , although you doesnt give you much control over the tone, can try with the guitar knobs).
5. Cowboys from Hell -Pantera ( nah no way lol)

I have to get a better electric guitar soon ... fender ,jackon, ibanez ,gibson ??


I also got a 300 GB external USB hdd :-d
And a Nokia 6630 , the snap above is taken on it, not bad eh.

My hands are itching to go home and plug my gat :-)
