Beware!Yes,I would like you to be warned before you go on to read this next piece of nonsense(refer previous comments) because i will come of as weird(i don't call myself cheap) in subsequent lines.Indians now have money in their hands…and thus can try out what has for long been the privilege of the rich – traveling by aeroplanes.Given below are my first thoughts when I saw an aeroplane – a typical guide for the first time flyer.
You can’t buy unreserved tickets in aeroplanes because there are no unreserved compartments. In fact, there are no compartments at all. This also means, you can’t take those long walks of discovery (of pretty girls) under the pretext of going to the pantry. In fact, most aeroplanes are one hollow tube (something like a 200 ml toothpaste tube) with chairs arranged inside.
There are no Traveling Ticket Examiners in aeroplanes. So, if you can enter an aeroplane without a ticket…the travel is free. Call it coincidence, or hard luck ….but in spite of no TTEs, most ticket-less travelers in aeroplanes have been found dead inside huge suitcases.
You can’t see the gravel thro’ the toilet hole
If like me, you enjoy watching the gravel thro’ the train’s toilet hole…you would be disappointed to know that it is not possible in an aeroplane. Aeroplanes travel in the air and at a considerable height…besides their toilet hole is closed till you press the flush button…which when done sucks the ingredients and destines them to hell.
here is no side upper berth
Unfortunately, there is no side upper berth in an aeroplane. So, silent watching (read ogling) is impossible. Pity because the density of good looking girls is definitely higher in an aeroplane. The closest you can get to a side upper berth…is the Emergency Exit Doors of the aeroplane (there are anywhere between 2-6 such doors in an aeroplane). Travellers who are made to sit in such critical seats are generally well built, able bodied men…in short men who have caught the fancy of the pretty girl who hands the boarding pass at the counter. If you are like me forget it…you will never be considered able-bodied.
carries the humour shown in ur previous blogs.......quite subtle and acute difference observed and presented in a sarcastic way.

ReplyDeleteThe aeroplane blog has opened up my eyes. :P
I never knew the plebeian world has so many reasons to believe trains and aeroplanes were dissimilar.. N i being one of the commons, am glad to understand this deflection..
