Living a Dream: An Interview with Harry Pujji
It's just like you are defying the law of gravity, law of nature,
and you are one step above the normal human being. That sense of accomplishment.
And when you are actually flying yourself, you feel you're part of nature,
and there are so many emotions that go through you, you can't explain.
On the first solo flight, I took off, and I just screamed out loud, let
it out, and I didn't want to land. Partly, I was afraid; partly, I was
enjoying it so much.
And then later on when you progress through your training and all when
you first go through the clouds and just go over the top of that, it is,
it is just like a dream.
Whenever in the movies they show dreams, they show clouds, and here you
are actually on top of the clouds. You can actually in small planes open
the window, put your hand out, feel that cloud, get your moisture on your
hand.
It's ecstatic.
