Sai, who is undergoing training at Kamshet (Maharashtra), says, “It requires a lot of preparation and learning. Like any course, there’s both theory and practice. It’s a wonderful blend of staying aware, applying theory, and staying focused. I’ve completed my level one certification and can’t wait for the next step. The hardest part is staying mindful of every detail — like wind direction and controlling the glider. The sensation when you are airborne is hard to describe, especially the feeling of being in control and yet not being in control. Gliding through the sky and absorbing the view gives you a new perspective.”
