FACE LIFT !!

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 !!
