Before exploring the most unforgettable five minutes of my life, I had been a mad bird for ages. Day and night, when I used to get free from work, I used to sit in front of my laptop and browse the videos of Sky-diving in Youtube. In some late nights, I used to take my pillow under my arms in excitement, when I used to think that I will do this crazy work soon and I can feel the death as I wanted. To me, it was the most adventurous activity. My dream was to fly someday like a real bird and to see the whole world, so much smaller than me, as I can smash it. Last few weeks before my Sky-diving schedule, friends used to joke on me, that if I don’t’ come back, who will get all my favorite things. After counting the last few days, at last I took a quite long break from my work and flew away to the best destination in the world for Sky-diving. It was the amazing Gold Coast, Australia. First time in my life I felt so free from the plane while I was looking at the clouds like a focusing camera and thinking that after few days, I am gonna fly like dis big plane. After a week travel in few parts of Australia, I stood on that day, the day of my life’s most dare decision to enjoy. At morning 6 o’clock, car picked me up from hotel. While going in the car, I was gazing at all the roads, houses, cars and was feeling, this is may be the last day, I am seeing the civilized world like this. At last car drops me in the hub of Sky-diving center. They checked my heart rate, in case if there any chances of heart attack in this activity. When they felt all right with me, I was been signed all the contact forms for this adventure sport, in which it was clearly explained “IF I die in this adventure, no one is responsible for that”. Then I had few hours of training by my diving instructor, “How to breath in high altitude, how to shape the body when someone is floating in air, how to shape the body while landing towards the ground, how to open the parachute in right time”, were all the lessons that I have been gone through. After all this periods, they said I should be ready to fly. Trust me, in that certain time my inner nerve was shaking in excitement with a joyful fear. I dressed up and been sent to the small plane with my instructor. For few minutes, I flashbacked all the good and happy moments of my whole life and suddenly I felt tear drops beside my nose.

One, two, three and I jumped. Oh! My Holy God, just imagine air is touching your bare skin like the highest speed tornado and you are feeling that, you are standing in between the most craziest cyclone of your life. My instructor was been tighten above me with a strong belt. What an eagle eye view I have seen! Ocean was blue and vast. The city was looking grey and the buildings were like an ant’s big group. Feels like, they all were going to drink water from pond like ocean. I was spinning in the air with jet velocity. I was really glad for what I had chosen to do. If I would have died in that moment, I wouldn’t regret. Because, I felt the most heavenly moment of my life. I screamed in the air “Life Is Beautiful”. After one minute the instructor commanded to switch the parachute on. I did it and it was another glorified experience. I felt like suddenly I got two wings and I was flying. All the buildings down my legs, were looking more bigger and clear. Within four minutes I landed and hugged my instructor and said, “Thank You”. He said,” Nothing I did, all you have chosen, I have just shown you the way to do it “. I had been saved and converted into a second life after feeling the real death in my lungs. At night, when I was memorized the whole day’s memory with a glass of “Happy Champagne”, I was so happy and cherished, thinking that my life is successful now after this incident. One suggestion from me for all my travel friends, “Try it, feel it! I bet, you won’t regret ever.”
