About this site - iPilot777

Everyone likes to do something that’s different from the norm, either they buy rarely available things, best looking clothes, fancy gadgets, or something else. As a teenager, the desire to do or get all the above is much stronger. It may be for various reasons, while some may want all of such things to feel important, others may want some of such things just because they really want to make use of that particular thing to the best of whatever it can deliver. I was one of them who chose to be the latter. When I wanted something, I could justify that I needed it for as long as there were no more questions to prove otherwise. While I mostly seemed to incline towards choosing, buying, doing things that were considered rare, special and expensive, that was actually the perspective of the world that looked at me. I had very strong reasons for choosing, buying and doing things that I’ve done.

I learned a bit of web development during the summer holidays after I passed in the ICSE 10th exams. I had to make some use of whatever I learned, but I had no clue how I could! Before even getting enrolled at a flying school to become a Pilot, I spent significant time during sunrises / sunsets taking pictures of the Airplanes that were landing or taking off at the Bangalore Airport. Very soon, I had gathered a fairly decent collection of such pictures and that is when I chose to have my own website to showcase my aviation photography skills. Back in early 2005 when this website was first created, having an own website was definitely not as popular, so there comes the unique and rare part of my interest.

I loved big Airplanes and my dream was to fly the Boeing 777-300 aircraft as a Pilot someday. This is how and why my online identity became I want to Pilot the 777 and in short iPilot777. Some dreams come true, some more dreams are forgotten over time while a few remain just a dream forever. Though it is now certain that I will never be able to fly the Boeing 777-300 aircraft as a Pilot, needless to say that I have flown on that plane as a passenger quite a few times and I have also flown that plane as a Pilot on the Microsoft Flight Simulator till my heart was satisfied with the game!

Why this Website?

I created this website in 2005 and had used it to showcase pictures of not only Airplanes but also other random photography that I did. I also tried to convert my website to a travel blog, but during late 2000s, I was very far away from writing, it was just not my thing back then, but it was indeed the best time to begin writing, especially writing for the web was very much sought after. While I still don’t consider myself a good writer at all, this is one sincere attempt to share whatever may come to my mind as worth sharing without any expectations for a reward.

I plan to write on topics mainly related to the meaning of life and how to live it, some deep spiritual things that are not widely approved by the modern minds of today and of course lots of stories of my travels, the movies that I love, the books that I read and more. All of this will definitely be limited to my understanding and how I perceive it without any claims on how correct or worthy I am on any of the content. People who consider to know me personally (while there are no such people, not even my immediate family members, it is only their assumption that they know me), may still be able to relate more to what I have to convey with my words than the readers who do not know me at all. So, give it a try and if you are interested to read more in depth to whatever I have written, I’ll be more than happy and will wish you so that you may find your answers.

I have myself followed many-many travel blogs from some great travellers and other people of modern times and am a big fan of a few. I take their work as an inspiration to fill up my small space here. You will not get a 100% grammatically accurate or even well written stories here. But what you will read here will be from my heart and as you know, heart never lies! Sign up for updates and do like, share and comment to encourage a non writer like me to become a storyteller!
