Laser Strikes on Aircraft: A Few Seconds of Fun Can Put Hundreds of Lives at Risk

There are some things that look harmless from the ground but can become extremely dangerous when viewed from the cockpit of an aircraft. A laser pointer is one of them. For someone standing on the ground, pointing a laser at an aircraft flying overhead may appear to be a harmless prank, an experiment, a way of attracting attention or simply an act of curiosity. But inside the cockpit, particularly during takeoff, approach or landing, that apparently tiny beam can suddenly become a serious aviation-safety threat. The latest figures released by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) show that the problem is declining, but it remains far too common. On September 17, 2026, the FAA reported that pilots had reported 4,470 laser strikes in the United States during 2026, representing a 24 percent decrease from the same period the previous year. This is the third consecutive year in which reported laser strikes have declined. However, the FAA says the numbers remain too high...

It Took Me Seven Years to Reach Here - Kutlehar Fort, Solasingi Fort, Una Himachal Pradesh

Google is an amazing thing. It tells us things which we cannot know otherwise. My latest conquest of mine is a result of curiosity developed in me by Google baba. I was finally able to arrive at Kutlehar Fort near Una, Himachal Pradesh. This fort is better known or more famous as Solasingi Fort. But why it took me seven years to reach this place is in itself an interesting story. Please hold on with me. Somewhere in 2017, when I was working in an immigration company WWICS, and while on a break and at my wife accomodation at Shri Anandpur Sahib, I was searching happishly for a place that is near to our location and makes for an interesting historic place. Our location in this situation was Shri Keshgarh Sahib, Shri Anandpur Sahib. I fingered the historic places near me in the google chrome search on my mobile phone and it showed me a place called Kutlehar Fort somewhere around 40 - 50 kms from where I was. At that time we only had a motorcycle, Bajaj Platina and we could make a round tr...

Indulge in Healthy Millet Delights at Jhumroo, Chandigarh: Virgin Reviews

Often there is little connection between eating out and eating healthy. When we are going for taste and searching for the best option, we will have to compromise with healthy food. Momos, spring rolls, fried rice, burger, patties, noodles, and the list goes on. The majority of the restaurants are providing taste. Even we as customers are attracted towards a restaurant that has the best taste. Few days back, me and three of my family members were out for lunch, but our priority was to eat tasty food and eat healthy. After juggling through numerous options, my wife suggested a restaurant that serves tikki made of millets. This was a new thing and to our knowledge there is only one restaurant that is serving this. Good thing was, my wife forgot the name of the restaurant which serves this dish. The only thing she remembered was that it is somewhere in sector 35 of Chandigarh. Well, it was already 2 pm and everyone was starving and no one had the patience to search through the entire secto...

McDonald's Veg Maharaja vs Snakkers Veg Maharaja: Which One is a Better Burger?

The only thing we Indians are good at is copying. This is a very strong statement and I can say so many weapons are already out.  Sorry folks I am also included in this, we have mastered the art of copying, and this is what I am doing too somewhere. Although there are numerous, almost endless examples, and I am going to talk about just one here. I have been to Snakkers a number of times. All their offerings are really good. Whether you want to try out vegetarian or chicken, they have multiple delicious listings. One of my favorite items they have is crispy chicken strips. Since I am the only one who consumes non-veg in my home, I have ordered 3 pieces of crispy chicken strips. This item is really good and reminds me of the chicken that is offered by KFC. The chicken is juicy and spicy too. It is worth trying out for anyone who loves chicken. But what looks like that they have copied the recipe from KFC, because the taste and smell and the look is exactly the same between KFC and Sn...

The Khyber Hotel, Shri Anandpur Sahib Review: Food, Ambience, and Service

It was another dining out date with my wife a few days back. Just like on many other occasions we decided to try out something new. Thankfully there are many new options to dine out in Shri Anandpur Sahib now, although, not every is to our liking. Attention, we said not to our liking, we did not say not to our standard, for every eating out restaurant in Anandpur Sahib is unique in its own way. Last time, when we dined out at Roots Restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib we were a little disappointed.  I wrote a complete article on our experience at Roots Restaurant which you can read by clicking on the link given below So, this time The Khyber Hotel came under our scanner, and boy it was a complete delight to be there. Just like the majority of the American and Canadian commercial outlets, Indian concerns too have also started erecting such sign boards which notify the presence of a facility from a long distance. The Khyber Hotel, as the road side glow sign signifies, has a party hall, ...
