When I was very young, we could very rarely see an aeroplane flying in
the sky. One day an Fighter Jet was flying high in the air, and did some stunts
across our town. Whole school came out just to see the fighter jet, which was
making a loud noise. After few days, the school teacher told the pilot was the
student and hence we all had an opportunity to view.
Earlier, traveling by
air, meant only for the business class and rich people. Lot of stories were told
and the journey was described as if someone has a great achievement in life
time. The poor / middle class traveled in those time only when they were offered
a Job in gulf or other countries.
The liberalization and
Globalizations of Indian economy in 90's became a game changer. The complete
scenario of air travel changed, traveling in a airplane was just like travelling
in Govt bus. When I booked air tickets for my parents and travelled with them
from Bangalore to Bombay, I could feel the happiness and something they were
proud about. Way back at our native, parents had their own experience of 1 hour
journey to share with the relatives and neighbors. It was for them some
something life time achievement.
One thing that come to my
mind, is the "Air Hostess". I do not wish to describe their beauty - because
it’s one more coat of Asian paint applied on the beautiful face to get facelift
!
But I always admire the gesture of showing the 32 teethes, at
the beginning and end of the each journey just fascinates me.
I
understand they are also human beings like me, with ups and downs being a part of life, but putting a brave smiling face
each time every time is something commendable.
Even people
working in front desk ! always Smiling !!!
Agree Face is the
Index of Mind, and smile is just the trigger to fool people of showing how happy
they are !!
