prabhu travels: July 2010
http://prabhutravels.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Moments and memoirs from my trips and treks and things I would like to do before I die. Saturday, July 24, 2010. Blog XIII of Thirty Days – Thirty Blogs series. A funny thing happened this 18th July, I jumped out of a perfectly working airplane from 13,000 feet above the ground without any strings attached. The reason behind this insanity can only be explained once you do it yourself. Ever since I came to know about skydiving during my studies at Texas A&M. That conducts tandem skydives at HALF the price.
