Beautiful young gals at your service, variety of drinks, magazines, movies, music and documentaries, toys and drawing books (Only if you are kid), you get what you want, of all the possible things, just by pressing a button, sitting at your place… All these comforts at the expense of ones personal space and you are restricted to 4 sq feet area. Spending a day of your life in an airplane is significant part, considering the unique lifestyle in a pressurized capsule, with the scarce resources available and makes a living out of it.
I was not lucky enough to get an aisle seat, instead got sandwiched between a male IT engineer and a female student (I believe). Never, will I explain the person in the check-in desk to give an aisle, in the seats in the center column in the flight, because there will be only one person disturbing me, while going to the loo, as against two people in the seats by the side of the window. The airline official understood something gave the sandwich seat.
The girl to my right was not in a mood to socialize, after some breaking the ice, [Smiles…] ‘do you go further from Bangalore?’… ‘Yes, to Shimoga’… ‘Are you working?’… ‘I am going to meet someone’…. That’s the conversation we had, before she went stuffing her head phones in to her ears. Conversation with the IT guy was typical, [Smiles…] where do you work? What do you work on?.... He went off to sleep, Woke up only twice for the food and drinks. I had to do a few high jumps to go out every time, thanks to his sound sleep, he was not bothered when I kicked him once, miscalculating the height.
Having nothing to do after the lunch/dinner… you really don’t know which meal of the day you have… Is it according to the time zone of the destination or the source?? Anyways, I started watching the moving ‘17 Again’ (a comedy movie) not a bad movie specially when you are bored, I heard occasional laughs from my right hand side….Movie ended and I went and stood near the space close to the toilets, just counting the number of people going in to them. J
After sometime pulled out my laptop with great difficulty and started writing this blog, but stopped writing to watch ‘Shawshank Redemption’, and completed this at my home in Chennai…..
