Flying in a Plane
When I was a little boy, watching a plane fly over the sky in our neighborhood was a wonder.Someone used to shout--'Look there is a plane flying over..z zoom' and everyone left whatever they were doing for a moment and watched the steel bird fly across the sky with awe.
It seemed cool, fantastic and the thought that a man was operating the machine was exciting.
My first flight was a Kuwait airlines flight when I was 22 years of age.I was flying from Chennai to Kuwait, I have never flied in a plane all my life.Luckily i got a special allowance to be seated in the Executive class as a student.Everyone in the business class looked sharp and tidy with suits and ties.The ladies were trendy.Here i was sitting next to them in a green t-shirt and a jeans.I looked like a country boy compared to others but I didn't seem to care.I took my seat and the air hostess demonstrated how to fasten your seat belts to the passengers.I managed to fasten my seat belt and then the most exciting thing for me was about to take place.The plane was set to take off, I had only dreamed about this..but this was a reality.The wheels started rolling and the plane elevated..I couldn't contain my excitement,the little boy in me shouted..Woohoo!!! The gentlemen around me looked at me rather strangely as if to say.."Where did you come from, you young little country brute?" I zipped my mouth thinking maybe they would kick me off if I don't behave.
Next the airhostesses were serving me juices
