I think i have lost the enthusiasm to blog... Maybe it is because nothing much is happening. Or it maybe 'coz I am enjoying the low profile I have now. Or is it coz i have people around me who i can confide to and speak my mind out. Anyway, i think it is good i take a break from this... Go into hiding...
I don't believe in running out of topics... coz u can write about anything... But it is nice to take a break from everything 'coz i myself has started feeling that my writings are monotonous..
So the next time i blog will be the time I have something that interesting or when i want to scream out to the world what I feel

To feel India - fly Air India
I have lots to write... Terrorism to ending the first semester to my summer placements. I havent written about all those stuff... Personally, I am having fun and a hectic schedule at DMS. Thanks to me getting into the Parivartan committee... which organises our annual B fest. That takes up my free time if at all i have any.
So let me write about my flight back home. IC 465 from Dehi to Trivandrum via Kochi. So my friend and I got in to this supposed to be luxurious aircraft to reach back home. We took our seats and i was hoping to catch up on my long lost sleep. I was really tired with the packing ... We have to pack our stuff at the end of each semester and vacate our rooms as if we are never gonna come back.. thts a hell of a job.
Yea, so i sat down thinking of being in the lap of luxury... suddenly i heard something whizz pass me... a fly.. a fly inside the Indian Airlines. It went and sat on the the turban of the sardar sitting in front of me. My friend then rightly said... "welcome to air INDIA"... I wouldn't have been surprised at all if a rat had ran by on the floor...
The seats were pathetic and dirty... The food wasn't upto the mark. When i got out of the flight i saw my hand red and swollen... Guess what... A bed bug bit me in the flight!!!
Everyone to whom I said this was laughing like anything... And my best friend started teasing me coz i had started to support IA coz I had been travelling in it for quite some months now.
Then i heard a news report on Dec 5 - The following is the news excerpt from THe Hindu dated dec 6th, 2008:
Flight IC-465 was initially delayed as the aircraft designated to fly on the Delhi-Thiruvananthapuram sector was coming from Patna and was running late. Since the incoming flight was late, the outgoing flight too got affected.“Once the plane landed, the passengers boarded the plane around 7-50 p.m. That’s when the pilot noticed a technical snag and the aircraft had to be changed. So the passengers had to be de-boarded. Another aircraft was available, but it had to be brought from the hangar to the allotted parking bay. That took some time as the plane had to cross a few taxiways to reach there,” claimed an airline official.
However, two Members of Parliament, who were among the passengers, reportedly refused to board the aircraft.
“The flight finally took off at 10-15 p.m., without the two MPs,” the official added.
I heard in a local news channel that the reason why the 2 MPs didnt get off the original aircraft was that they were complaining of the poor plight of the aircrafts that are to fly in the Delhi- Tvm route. They wanted a confirmation from the minister himself about the change of flight. But in vain and the pilot had to fly without the MPs coz of the rest of the passengers.
The motives of the MPs are genuine this time coz I have had my experience just 2 days before ... This shows the interest with which the aviation sector maintains its carriers. And it is losing its customers 'coz of this. Next time i will try my best to avoid boarding an Indian Airlines flight.
