Hmm, Its been ages since I last checked into my blogs. I can tell you I have seen heaven and earth in between. Life as a Cabin crew has been scary, entertaining, freaky at times, exciting at times and ofcourse a lot of hard work and site seeing. As I nowadays sum it up as, life as a flight steward is hours and hours of boredom and a few minutes of danger. This ofcourse only applies to the flying part of the job. I have seen so much happening behind the scenes, not related to work at all. Encountered awesome passengers, major freaks, perverts, leeches, some really helpful people. Thats the beauty of the job i guess, you meet people of all kinds of life with different temperaments, coz of the way they are, or coz of a few flight delays which can peeve even the mildest of all, and yet in those few hours you interact with them, you need to maintain a fine balance of hospitality and service, not to forget trying to establish a little public relation for a passengers continuance towards the particular airline. Yes glamourous this job definately is, but the hard work that goes on while in duty, the heavy carts that need to be lifted from time to time do make up for it all.
I'll end this with a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.

Up up and away - A Prelude to what could be on the offing!
If you have been reading my posts, you will realise I am now working as a Cabin Crew in Air India, and it struck me, why not have a blog on this as well, you know, the way we work up there 35,000 feet in the air, the passengers we meet, the food that's served in an airline industry, the logistics involved in every sector of travel etc. I hopefuly will oblige by regularly posting updates on both the blogs. This blog could also act as a forum kinda, for aspiring people who would like to enter into the aviation industry as a career. Yes you may question my credibility as I am still a newcomer in this field, but heck, I can ask around for stuff, increase my knowledge as well and give you what you require and thats the way the cookie crumbles!!!
The blog will be given a name, and a few names I have thought of are Crew Diaries and Cabin crew (oh how creative!) If anyone could give me a better name, that would be very helpful.

Up up and away.
I don't know if i am to be responsible to anyone for not posting a blog for such a long time...and yet I feel accountable for this lapse. Though I had made this blog just to air out a few thoughts online instead of a diary, this is so much more of a personal space and yet its so vulnerable....Don't ask me how...It's just that I found another outlet to express myself and now i am back here....
Today I'm gonna talk about my job.
No, not an M.B.A and not an Animator...I am working as a Cabin Crew in my national carrier Air India...and yes initially people were apprehensive of the limitations of the job and how it would affect my creativity and freedom of thought.
I agreed with them mostly, till one day when I had a lecture on my responsiblities and that changed me, I realised as crew I was responsible for the safety and lives of a lot of people on board and thats huge responsibility, considering the "Seconds" I have literally to save all of them, it made me realise every rose has its thorns, what was such a simple job is now something which with alertness and timely action could help people save their lives, and this is what makes the rose beautiful, and my job too.
Yes, this will not dampen my mind against an M.B.A and I will still try to pursue a career in the field of animation, but for now my job and the safety of the passengers my first priority.

A tribute - Amanda Marais (1978 - 2005)
Roses may tragically wither away; but they leave behind a fragnance none compared...
It's hard to believe that someone so close to you suddenly bids a goodbye, and you don't even get a chance to tell her how much she meant to you as a friend.
True, I have never seen her except in pictures, true we have only been friends for 2 years but true friendship doesnt need one to know a person physically, the emotional connection is what differentiates a friend and a close friend.
A few years from now, when i turn back and think of things that have shaped me as a person, I will see Amanda, a girl beautiful in heart, free in mind and above all a person who lived life by the rules she set!
Amanda was all this and more...I don't know where she is now...but wherever she is, I know she is already making a few stars shine brighter.

Shweta
Do you realise, how beautiful you are:::
I never meant for this blog to be personal, but this article is something I should have written the day I created this blog.
Its about my girl - Shweta, someone who has meant and given me much more than I could ever possibly imagine. I am not gonna get into histrionics, but I can tell you that she was always meant to be mine and it was just a matter of time till she realised that...
I love my girl and I do wish that what we have lasts us a lifetime, coz I sure as hell know, if not her my life will become an empty vacuum.
I love you shweta and I want you to know, whereever you are, whatever you do I'll always be there thinking about you.

Size does matter!!!
NOW I'm not pulling your leg guys — but girls CAN tell the size of your willy just by looking at your feet. In a giant step for manhood, sorry mankind, scientists confirm the old wives’ theory that a bloke’s foot size is directly related to that of his todger.
And the Moscow University team has even come up with a formula to help ladies size up a potential partner at a glance: willy size = foot length in centimetres + 5, divided by 2.
So a British size six, which is 24.8cms, means the fella’s old fella measures 14.9cms, or a shade under six inches.
And a guy who stomps around in size 12s will have a healthy 16.8cms or 6.72inches — surely enough to satisfy the most demanding old boot.
The theory is based on research on thousands of men. But don’t panic boys, if your willy lacks welly.
You could always pop out and buy a pair of of winklepickers.
I guess boffins have hit the toe-nail on the head.
But : “I now fear for the prospects of shorter men. There’s only one answer — join a circus. Because if there’s one group of men laughing today, it’s clowns.”

When RAIN do us apart....
Its a nice warm day, I have finally secured a job in Air India after waiting and losing hope for more than a year and finally on July 26 I am to report to duty...and then all hell broke loose
....its 11:45 now and raining real bad, we are seated in a mock up plane but we cannot budge out of the location, as the water is pouring in...I have never seen such rains in Bombay...so we go up and sit in the business class lounge of the air craft
...Its 3:30 now, every office in Bombay is officially closed. We have been told to go home however! A few people venture out boldly in their cars ignorant of pleas from other employees to give them a lift...as fate would have it, in 5 minutes every car returns back...BOMBAY IS A WRECK!
...4:30 I and my friend trudge out leaving all our valuable documents behind, we are drenched, rain is now pouring in buckets and each drop of rain falls on us like a small pebble. Its very cold and when our shirts stick on to our body we are literally shivering. We wade through the water which is now waist deep, we fall down at times, reach his aunt's place, the entrance of which has me covered upto my chest and I'm 6'3!!!He is home and now I trudge along, I dont really know how long I walked, the only thing in my mind was WALK NO MATTER WHAT. Yea I did manage to see 2 Mercs, one floating in the water and the other left along in the roads at nature's mercy...I somehow managed to reach my relative's place after walking for 3 hrs and 15 minutes
...27th of July:All fine till now, I am in the confines of a very comfortable house, eating and sleeping but still without the luxury of electricity and no knowledge of what's going on around me...As news start pouring in, I realise I am in one of the worst affected areas, my area has virtually become an island with water way over 90 cms all over, and some areas a lot more than that
...3:00 pm - I feel restless here and want to go home, afterall there is nothing like home...so I tell them I am going, they relent after I am firm on my decision, 10 minutes into my decision, I regret it, I am covered with water upto my hip, The water isnt exactly Evian or mineral water quality, no one cared..As I waded through muck, brown water and a lot more water, on the way of which I found a few titled cars and vans, vehicles rammed by other vehicles, trees toppled over and every private and public transport vehicle deserted of its passengers and drivers, I realised my worst nightmare come true. I had 2 ways of reaching home, one was completely cordoned off by the water and the other which I was in, had me walk across a railway station, I used the divider to walk across, and found the tracks completely submerged in the water, and if all this wasnt hell itself, as i stepped down on the other side of the station, a few feet away were dead bodies, the water was chest high again, but this time it didnt matter, we were at the mercy of nature and had given in.Time had stopped, some time later I reached the high way: trucks, cars, vans, bikes, buses, everything on wheels was stranded from one corner to the other. There were people selling food items trying to make a quick buck, another corner there were people offering water and tea for free.Yes the spirit of mankind sometimes exceeds every expectation.I reached home at 6:45, too tired to speak or do anything, I wanted to wash myself, there was no water, no electricity as yet, so the water pump could'nt function. WATER WATER EVERYWHERE, BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK. I managed to change my clothes, and plopped to my bed.11:30 I get up and my girlfriend who had been frantically trying to call me finally gets through, she doesnt wan't to keep the phone down
.....11:45 Finally the elctricity board wakes up and we get electricity back, good clean water finally comes in.28th of July:Our phones are still jammed but life is slowly coming back to normal, No Office today. This is my story, the millions of people in Bombay will have a different story to tell, some more sombre some more pitiful, but never has bombay's spirit and resilience been tested more in such a large scale.

From Tattoo’s till High heels
My good friend Madhu has asked me to write a small piece or literature for his blog. And how could I refuse a request from a sweet guy like him. So I took some paper and a pencil and wrote this small article about: Anno 2005, what is still common or vulgar? For your understanding, we are talking about common things on females, not males…. :p
Lets starts with tattoo’s. Do you think tattoo’s are a common or vulgar thing these days? Why do women have tattoo’s? Well I don’t have one myself, but my friends have always told me that they have one because it’s a jewel you carry on forever. My opinion is that some tattoo’s on women are vulgar but some are very pretty. I think it depends on the woman her looks if she fits a certain tattoo or not. For example, somebody we all know: Pamela Anderson. I think the tattoo on her arm fits her perfect. She has the body for it. Not everybody fits a tattoo like hers. Some females can have the same tattoo on their arm but look vulgar.
How about high heels? Why do women wear high heels? Well for me they are the top of elegancy. They can make short women like myself look taller, but also accentuate a woman’s legs and make them even prettier or more feminine. Sometimes high heels have a bad reputation but I think the bad reputation is caused by women who cant walk on high heels. Something you cant do, you reject quicker. My advice to women is: Stiletto’s give you pretty, long slim legs with a feminine elegant look. Save them for special occasions, and don’t wear them every day. Surely not when you go out on a day of shopping
What is next? Red lipstick perhaps? Why do some women choose red lipstick? Well a friend of mine always wear red lipstick because it gives her fuller lips. It flatters her and fits who she is: a fresh and spicy woman. Why do red lips have a bad reputation? Well, not everybody is made for red lipstick. Young girls are afraid to wear it because they are afraid to be called a slut or something like that. Red lips fit perfectly on a woman who has a pale white skin. It brings the attention to her lips and gives her a pretty face.
Mini skirts, liked by many, disliked by some. I love to wear mini skirts myself because they are feminine and sexy and because I am not shy to show some leg. Some people call it cheap, but on the other hand, at a swimming pool you see much more naked flesh. So why do they have a bad reputation by some? Well simply because its about how you wear them! An elegant way of wearing them is absolutely necessary. Sitting down with your legs wide open while wearing a mini skirt is really vulgar and simply not done!
Well I hope you all enjoyed my first little column and hopefully it will get many comments.

In the name of religion!
This topic may not exactly go very well with a majority of people around the world...and yet I feel like voicing my thoughts on this.
Terrorism, I look upon it as an irony that the self made god's every religion has created has now become the major reason for killings, mass atrocities and war!
Isnt it shameful that the very god we have created, and that goes for every religion, the one who preaches us brotherhood and to be against hatred and disharmony is now the very cause of all the world's sufferings in terms of attacks on mankind!
We have deciphered god's sayings in our own ways and have come out with some bizarre conclusions to his sayings and I am not marginalising one single faith, every faith in its own little community has grown itself hard core fundamentalists who are out there destroying other communities they deem misfits.
I was never a believer in god, but i am not anti-god.
but I do believe in the end...the greatest terrorist of mankind wont be certain individuals but an out of the world being we call God!

MANners - A guide to bad manners!
After a lot of research, the great one is providing you average men with a list of things to do...so you may smarten up and know how to behave better!
1 - In the loo, chaps, it’s eyes up at all times — unless you’re next to a celebrity, when a quick glance is OK. Whistling is fine at the urinal and washbasin but not in the cubicle — and you can sing when washing, but at no other time.
2 - How to behave IN THE NUDE — don’t use a towel like a two-handed saw between your legs in the gym changing room.
3 - In buses, give up your seat to pregnant women and old ladies — but only if they are not tourists.
4 - HUGS and KISSES between males are acceptable, but only in the family — and HANDSHAKES should be firm.
5 - At the disco, older guys should stroll on to the dancefloor, not rush, and stick to their era. Funny dancing isn’t funny and mouthing lyrics is as bad as playing air guitar.
Just follow these simple rules and see the world become a better place...

Sodamn Insane photographed with his free Willy!
After all the commotion from the American Govt over the exclusive pics taken by The Sun of the now reclusive tryant dictator Saddam Hussein in his caged cell, I feel it is uncalled for....I mean, Saddam is now ranked along side the Hitler's of the world, and such pictures just goes to show that the law finally always catches up with you...These pics are definately a much needed relief pill to the families of those unfortunate and powerless Iraqi's who were mercilessly tortured and massacred by Saddam and his tribesmen....
In other news eminem's new video of his song "Ass like that" has a lesbian sex romp act in it...hmmm, Ahhh the wonders of the world....I remember President Bush had once commented "Eminem is one of the biggest terrorists to kids"...I disagree, Eminem always thinks good about kids, and I can prove it....check out the 2 lyrics
""So Kids "SAY NO TO DRUGS", so there'd be more for me"....aah what a noble man...
he is also a campaigner against corruption on T.V when he says rightfully so
"Of course they gonna know what intercourse is
by the time they hit 4th grade,
they got the discovery channel don't they?"
Ban Discovery Chanel!

Big Brother is watching over you!
A topic for today is Moral Policing, and do we need them? According to me...NO....I mean comeon, till we were 18, we had our parents controlling us, and then, we are "legally" allowed to go out and be free, wear full pants and what do we get? Some people acting like legal gods, or moral policing, No this is bad, no that is immoral??? I mean, who or what gives them the right to ban what we want to see or do? or better still, who gives them the right to even get the idea that they can try to restrict our movements towards the path of "their pre-conceived notion of morality"....Preaching morality is agreeable, not enforcing it....

The World's hairiest Dictator and the movies!!!
It's official, Osama Bin Laden replaces Tom Hanks from "Castaway" and Sharon Stone's beaver from "Basic Instincts" as the world's hairiest celebrity caught on tape!
He has replaced last year's winner Saddam Hussein who not only earned "The Hairiest Dictator" award from the World Association of Hairy Men but who also had to later pay a hefty bill to the American Dentist Association. I mean, Who would've thought that the American Dentist Association was behind the biggest ever manhunt in modern history? I mean if they had just told Saddam they only wanted to do his root canal (as shown in the video footage of his capture), maybe he would've given himself up earlier, eh? It could very well be that he went into hiding after he realized what his bill was going to be...
News reports have quoted the American Barber Association are now going to be wooed by the U.S authorities to try the same method to capture Osama!
In other news, Spiderman hero Tobey Maguire has recently signed on to co-star with George Clooney and Kate Blanchett in the film "Good German".
I personally think Tobey Maguire is much more suited for a role in a gay porn movie.

Beware of the "DE"vil
This is an article to criticise someone I have always loathed, her name is Shobha De, I can actually puke everytime I hear her name...I hate her so much!!! First came the apes, then man, and dog's (ok I never said I was good in Darwin's theory of evolution) but somewhere along this came Shobha De, and the dictionary invented the word Bitch!
Why does she ever have to open her mouth or write!!! Arent there jobs which dont involve any of these two????
Ok It seems there aren't! Hmmmph!!!
With an ego, than can outweigh a 100 elephants! and a motor mouth which vrooms more than it moves! I can bet there are hardly 3 people who read her articles in the newspaper! the author herself! the editor! and sadly her husband!!!
Why does she ever have to open her mouth or write!!! Arent there jobs which dont involve any of these two????
Ok It seems there aren't! Hmmmph!!!

Of Birthday's and birthday suits!!!
Ah finally it's my birthday....birthday's suck...they come just once a year....and when they are over, you suddenly realise a whole year has been added to you...you have grown a few grey cells, suddenly got a lot more wrinkles and while lamenting all this you ask yourself "what have I achieved till now?"
Birthday's can be good for one reason that you get to buy you some decent clothes....My mom always told me, that I loved to be in my birthday suit....Upon inquisting further, she replied with utter disdain " when you were a kid, and we had guests coming home, you'd get so excited, you'd strip and dance near them" Ufff, no you can come home, I dont do any such things now....

Lighting Lamps for World Peace! Bah!!!
Yesterday, there was this huge commotion in my area...People were supposed to light lamps, 1,25,000 of them for WORLD PEACE, now where did i hear it last? aaah Miss congeniality, hmmm....Impressive no doubt...But it had me thinking, what was the occasion? There were no terrorist attacks recently?, then why this hullabaloo, kept me wondering....yes there was a T.V crew, there were sponsors and celebrities. Not surprising coz in India no event can take place without atleast a pinch of celebrity content in them....
Now I beg to differ and I am sure there will be a lot out there who disagree with me...but i still believe it made no sense to organise this in a small locality like mine where the last act of terrorism occured around 1973 when a thief robbed a empty house (if that can be deemed an act of terrorism), I really believe it made no sense in organising such an event in my area, instead of either doin it in a war stricken area or a area where there was communal disharmony....and what about all the money spent? why not use that money to build better infrastructure or help the poor?

Life's like that...
The irony about life is that you only have one chance at most of the thing's...I am 23 now...24 exactly one week from now and I am still contemplating what to do? An M.B.A or continue my animation...I love the animation field but in India the initial pay for atleast a couple of years isnt anythin to be proud of, whereas an M.B.A can atleast ensure me a decent job and have my wallet a little heavier...What to do??? or as Shakespeare would have quoted...To do an Mba or not to do an Mba, thats the question?
till later...
ciao...
till later...
