Went gliding yesterday, it was a beautiful day for gliding and the airfield was buzzing with activity. I got an opportunity to go in a motor glider, and I flew upto the university, and got some nice aerial views of the University Buildings. We flew for about 45 minutes but it felt like just a few minutes, time flies when your flying. Flying a motor glider is easier than flying a traditional glider. The motor glider literally flies itself, and doesn’t require constant attention.

I went to London today, and went to Madame Tussuad’s Wax Museum, which is simply amazing. I had only expected wax statutes, but there were more stuff there. The statues were very realistic, a few people we saw include Gandhi, Shah Rukh Khan, Robin Williams, Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and so on. This list is very very small compared to the total number of people we saw. There was a ride called ‘The Spirit of London’ which took you in mini London cabs and showed you about the history of London using visual elements of moving statues and well made sets. It was fun, informative and exciting. The final part of the museum was planetarium which showed you about ’stars’ in the context of movie stars, famous people, etc. It was a good one and a half hours.

We then went to Harrods which was quite enormous, along with the prices. Most of the stuff were boring to me but we did catch the occasional glimpse of exciting like a 70″ TV, original vintage posters of movies, great sound systems, and some fancy looking clothes. We didn’t go anywhere else, but felt that these two locations were good enough for a day.

I’ve been playing a lot of ‘Transport Tycoon Deluxe’ lately. Its a classic economic simulation game made in 1995. It may sound old but I still feel its better than newer simulation games. I can still remember the days when I used to spend half my waking hours playing this game late into the night, while my dad sat next to me giving advice on which move to make next. If you wish to play this game, you can download it from here and in order to make to run on Win XP/Vista, you will need to download a patch from here.
