seat-booking

Originally uploaded by Ferrari Rasigan.

The 3 hours I spent yesterday afternoon were one of the best times I ever had in my life :-)

12.15 PM

I enter the airport and bump into Rahul Dravid. He was very busy and spoke to me for a minute and rushed away. He had no time for a snap with me :-(

13.10

I asked the ‘Air Deccan’ guy for a window seat whilst collecting the boarding pass. He told me that it is open seating and I can sit anywhere I want.

13.20

I was waiting to board the flight reading ‘Are you afraid of the dark’ . There were 200 other people waiting to board the flight


13.22

Suddenly everyone gotup and rushed towards the boarding gate. Hell broke loose.I was taken aback. ‘Did I miss something?’. I politely asked the ‘Air Deccan’ staff, if anything was wrong. The guy replied with a big smile and said ‘Oh! No sir. It is open seating and everyone is rushing to get the window seat’. ha ha. That was really funny.

13.27

I was the second last person to get my boarding pass stamped. By this time everyone had got inside the coaches, that takes us to the flight.

I had the last laugh. Since I was the second last person, I got to stand at the coach near the entrance/exit :-))

You should have seen the look of dismay in various peoples faces.

13.30

I entered the flight(A-320) and it was almost empty since I was the second passenger to enter ;-)

13.35

Now comes the best part. One lady threw her bag and booked a window seat for herself. look at the pic :-))))))))) Thats it. I couldnt control my laughter. I broke down laughing and person next to me, got the hint and he also started laughing.

I remember people booking bus seats with kerchief and all. But this was tooo goood.

I understand that Air Deccan is a no frills airline. you dont get free food etc etc. But what are they going to lose, by alloting a seat no to the passengers. And the bangalore-mumbai flight is airbus A-320 with television and all!!! Funny logic

No this is not the end of fun I had

..to be continued

It has been a terrible sunday. Morning it was sort of funny when we felt the mild tremor. I mean after the incident. And when people said that tidal waves have hit chennai, it was something like a tourism thing. Something new that we havent seen in chennai.

But once the news started coming in that people are dead, especially kids it was really shocking.

I along with my friends visited from Besant Nagar to Mahabalipuram. We didnt find anything dramatic nor very different, except for the empty roads. And all shops closed. But almost everyone was confused like us. No one knows how to react to this situation.

I get back home and see the news that many people are dead. May their sould rest in peace.

No answer when mother nature gets angry. We can just pray for her divine grace and beg her that she doesnt get angry. Its not just the kids. So many people. How many dreams they would have had? How many peoples life has gone for a toss? All in a single flash.

I wish and hope that people dont politicize this issue and com together atleast for this and help the people who are in need.

Really depressing incident :-(

Merry Xmas :-)

GeneralF e r r a r i on 23 Dec 2004 01:45 pm

Read this interesting article :-) on Fingerprint technology.

I heard that if someone in India has to receive pension, he has to get a certificate from the Village Officer or some Gazetted officer that he is alive(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Is it true?

GeneralF e r r a r i on 23 Dec 2004 01:13 pm
Read Introduction first

(Scene 1)

Meera: Vikatan reporter. Cover story. Paetti edukkanum.
Kamal: Naan yaarukkum MMS anuppaliye. (After saying this sentence Kamal looks at the camera and winks) Enna edhukku paetti edukkanum?
(Meera blushes)
Seri seri ippo dhaan oorla irundhu vandhu irukeenga. Poi kulichitu edavadhu saaptutu vaanga. (Turns back towards the house and shouts) Appathaaa. Indha ponna kootikitu po.
Vadivukarasi comes out and takes Meera inside the house
(Camera moves ahead of Meera. So it will look like Meera looking at things)
The house is a typical village house. There is no roof at the centre. As she enters the house it looks pretty dark and sun light fills the centre. Light yellowish light.
Meera looks around. One of the walls is painted red and there is a huge photo of Nasser with Enzo Ferrari. Black and white photo. And many other photos of Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and other leading Ferrari personalities. Miniature Ferrari cars and a Desktop Computer, Sony Trinitron 21 inches TV.
This is to the left of Meera. Now she looks at the right side.
This wall is painted yellow and contains pictures of Periyar, Karl Marx, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Subash Chandra Bose. There is a mini library with books of bharathiyar, periyar and others.
Vadivukarasi shows her the bathroom.
Nimmadhiya kavalai padaaama kuLi maa. Inga thanni kashtamum kedayaadhu. Bathroom la thiruttu camera vum kedayadhu.
(Meera giggles)
Meera gets inside and closes the door. Entire frame becomes dark
(Scene 2)
Meera wearing a light blue jean and dark blue top approaches Kamal.
Kamal is sitting listening to some song. (Kamal is wearing a cream color 3/4th and Ferrari T-shirt. He is barefooted. 3/4th of his head and mush with grey hairs)
After seeing Meera, Kamal removes his headphone
Kamal: Vanesse mae. Another perfectionist
Meera switches on the tape recorder
Meera: Ferrari thaatha. Paeru enna?
Kamal: Sakthivel. Nee?
Meera: Meera. Yaen indha oorla irukeenga?
Sakthivel: Retired life. Inga cost of living romba kammi. ESPN-Star Sports paaka set top box thevai illai.
