This is a well-written, day-by-day account of his flight from England to India in a microlight plane. He did the flight in 22 days, breaking the earlier record of 34 days by Brian Milton, thereby earning for himself a place in the Guinness Book. It was certainly a noteworthy feat but "death-defying"? Far more hazardous flights have been undertaken. If you have around Rs 80 lakh (what it cost Singhania) and the necessary infrastructure, any flyer willing to take a few risks would not find it too difficult to do it in a far shorter time.
