When travelling back from delhi, last week, i was reading one of the supplements which was talking about Shital Mahajan.
From what little I read, she is from pune and she has taken a parachute jump over the Geographic North Pole on 18th April, 2004, from 2400 feet, in minus 37 degree celsius, temperature condition. Further she is planning to take a jump over south pole in antartica.
I always wonder, how do people get such off beat ideas about their careers and then they have the guts and determination to follow them. Growing up, I guess my most'est Weird'est idea about my future was nowhere close to it.
Hats off ......
You can read

either u chose wat u want to do...

which path you chose, that makes the difference..
Well today there was article in ToI about an ex-IIT Kharagpur Grad who scaled 7 highest mountain peaks in 172 days. Thats what I call scaling new heights :)
Hey, prits that was an interesting statements, "Either u chose wat u want to do or let choices decide it for you".
chander I also read that, and i was thinking what am i doing here coding...
About that Mahajan jumpong the South Pole---I hade a virtual deluge of google alerts about her supposedly doing it. Most were accounts of her mother relaying the story but some were her personal after-event interview....only thing is this....I emailed several people who live on the only station at the S. Pole---she was never there.
Indian papers kept saying she was but the people on the ground said they heard she was going to try... but never saw her.
@ TBAS, I was just seeing NDTV couple of days back, and there they were showing a interview with Sheetal, and it seems she has returned from her jump to south pole. :Dx
