Try this next time you travel by air

I am on vacation these days... got a chance to visit Delhi after more than a year now...

Well the most interesting part of the trip began with our flight..

Our flight was not a direct flight from bangalore... but via Hyderabad.. so we had to suppress our anxiety to reach Delhi a bit longer.. but it was compensated by having two meals :)... mmmm.... suprisingly enuff, they were good.. Air Sahara has improved a lot I shall say...

When passengers started to board from Hyderabad, then began the 'guess-who-shall-sit-next-to-us'. With Pooja taking the window seat and myself taking the middle seat, for obvious reasons I was more curious to know who shall accompany us in the remaining part of the journey. And our being the 5th/6th row from the last, we were more interested in people approaching the fag end of the plane...

The intersting part is what you speculate, bet and what you get in the end... me and Pooja were constantly betting on this person would sit with or not sit with us... it is real fun.. trust me.. try it next time you are seated first and waiting for someone else to be your co-passenger...

First came a fatso.. bald guy.. who would have probably fitted on 2 seats.. and we said.. nahinnnnnnnnnn.. yeh nahin (no, please.. not him).. phew luckily it was not him

Then we saw another fella having a small kid.. and we said no please no... not him.. the kid would wail like anything and we would not be able to sleep..

phew we were lucky again..

Then walked in another old illi-poon.. (no translation here.. he he :) ) and we said.. that's it.. our fate is sealed now.. he is looking towards our seat only.. and it is gone now... but god was with us.. and we were lucky yet again..

And time went by... we saw a local jaat couple apporaching us, we saw a real old couple went by us, a firang, a cool.dude.com etc etc... but finally I think we got the best deal... (considering both me and Pooja's wishes :) )... a decent, educated middle aged lady who seemed to be an educationist.. and definitely an elite person.. as she wanted to solve Deccan's crossword :)

So in essence.. it is fun to do this excerise...

but remember... others who would have occupied seats would also be doing so with you!!! :D
