How much random pix are we supposed to tolerate Shiv saab???
Is that pilot Manik Mehta married or single?? Do you have his number…kindly give..he’s so handsome
I agree with Anon1. Random but welcome!
Anon2: WTF?! Sarcasm can only cover you so far.
Shiv, you sure that the Cheetak pictured is on the Viraat?
Left wing, its not Cheetak, but Chetak….and Ankur, what sarcasm are you talking about……how much random stuff are we supposed to endure??
Seriuosly, we come here not for what Shiv has pictured out of his creative angst, but to read seriuos stuff!!
Chetak 454 is possibly on a Delhi class or a G/B class frigate.
anon, nobody put a gun to your head to read shivs blog. you can go elsewhere if you dont like his posts whether random pictures or not.
