Difficult Landings: Toncontin International Airport, Honduras

Posted by R MAK 17 November, 2008 (0) Comment

Just before landing, the plane drops several hundred feet, Then it takes a sharp U turn and then suddenly touches down at strange angle. Cabin is full of the sound of air and ground brakes as the plane stops. I thank the God and the seat belts, that kept me from smashing into the seats in front. Plane has finally come to a halt and It is all over.

This was not a crash landing. It was just another ordinary Boeing 757 landing at Toncontín International Airport in Honduras.

I have flown well over the country and beyond. I don’t know about any other airport that can compare to Runway 02 at Toncontín International. Its not an airport, It is like a hurdle race. Every possible danger that you can associated with a landing strip is available. Take a good look at following pictures of Runway 02 of TIA, Honduras.

Walking or driving on a city road, did  you ever thought, what is below your feet? Let us take you, with us, on a  guided tour of what goes on, below the city streets.below city streets It’s not a very nice place to travel to, still, Its good to know what’s there. Think about the people who conceived and built these. This will let us appreciate the beauty of our cities even more..

Just below the carpeted road are power lines. below them are ducts for telecommunication and TV cables. below that are waterlines that bring us fresh water for washing and cleaning.

Below water lines, there are steam pipes for heating. below them are GAS pipes that let us cook our dinner. All this take up the up to 6 meter of space.

Below that exist our transportation network. subways and rails that take us all around the city. below that is the sewage network of pipes that take all that we drain down the shower and commodes. Read the rest of this entry

Self Employment: Do You Have What it Takes

Posted by R MAK 10 August, 2008 (2) Comment

Abraham Lincoln once said that; “Representing oneself in a court of law guarantees that there will be a less-than-gifted lawyer with a less-than-intelligent client” These are not his exact words but he said something like it and it is really true to its root. Quitting a Job that pays a regular salary in order to work for yourself and setting the world on fire is roughly the same thing. I never realized what it was really like to work for a colossal idiot until I started working as my own boss. I thought I have seen the best of the bosses and worst of them too in my 8 years of work history. I was wrong, I was my own worst nightmare.

Boss, You are Fired
