The Day n Night



You set your time according to the Day n Night schedule,  What if u want Day n Night according to your schedule. This is what I am observing during my flight to US. The whole Day n Night thing gets messed up. You wanna see Sun at a certain position at certain time, reach that part of world thats all.

There are many great inventions but I feel the Aeronautics thing is one of the greatest invention I have personally experienced. Last time we went to US via Singapore, Mostly the journey was in night and over the sea. This time we went via Dubai, mostly the journey was during day and we could see some wonderful landscapes. I didn't expect that, UAE n nearby countries will be that deserted, no trees at all. You hardly see any green patch. One wonderful thing to observe is great Road Connectivity, you can see that even from forty thousand feet. I guess the reason people reside at these places is Oil, saw few oil wells kind of thing ( I think :-) ). I saw few light green /brown rectangular patches. I really wonder how can they grow anything in those conditions.

This Dubai -> SFO flight takes shortcut and guess what is the shortcut It flies over North Pole. It was dark when we reached near North Pole but we could see frozen rivers of Canada. The sunrise view was very different from that height. Its like Earth is burning from below ,you can see dark orange color flames kind  of  thing throughout the horizon.

My wondering was not over yet, as we reached SFO. I wanted to take a room with more sun light .  So 
I tried to figure out where does Sun rise. Whatever the direction sense we have in India according to that, Sun rises in the east and sets somewhere in the south :-)
