Even though you have grown old, you make us smile and laugh and let us feel like children again!

Meet Mickey Mouse on his page here at Disney’s site.

You could also meet his family here ;)

When /me was airborne!

I recently had a flight, which as the title suggests, was my first one. It was worth noting as I felt things, which sent me back to the child hood dreams :P

I have visited airports earlier, went inside the aircraft, the pilots cabin. But never flew till date. So here was I, finally flying :P How was I feeling.. excited!!

The cabin crew was friendly, as they are supposed to be, but funny at the same time! They were doing weird things, which in the end, they also were laughing. Apparently because, they were enacting and someone else, the flight manager, was doing the voice over :P

Anyways this is not all important! :-)

The Beautiful part:

The plane starts moving on the runway… After like 10 minutes of doing catwalk, coming on the right take off path, it blasted off like I drive my car @ 100 mph, yeah right, of course at a greater speed. But I couldn’t relate to how fast it was running :) I was seeing the wings, which had a weird thing written on it “Please do not move over this line”. So I thought if we were allowed to walk till that line on the wings :P

I would have loved doing that while in-flight :D

I could get the idea of the speed, after the buildings appeared ant-sized within few seconds…! And the G Force was ON ME completely!! :-/

Angels, Stars, Moon!

When things stabilized, I realized I was in between the clouds, and soon on top of them. I could see the bed of clouds beneath and it appeared as if I was walking on it! And it was slow motion!

Awww it was so great!! I was just awestruck by the experience and all I kept saying was “Wow!!”, luckily I had no co-passenger by my side :D

For a moment, I went back to the dream world, and I thought the place is so calm, quiet, peaceful… And wished, I stayed at such place all the time and slightly tears rolled out.. Dunno why?? But I wish I should have been here before :)

I could have jumped off and stayed there. But yeah I know.. So forget it :)

I loved the turns and the curves plane took. And was enjoying all the G-Force was doing to me!! The take off and in flight was beautiful, the landing on the other hand was OMG totally contrary and messy!!!

The Messy part:

I knew it wouldn’t be all goody goody for me, considering that I have motion sickness.

But considering I was alright till now, I thought “eh.. I am a man now! nothing happened to me!! yAy!” and then I ordered a Big veg burger, damn was I hungry! and a Mango drink [Yellow in color, this is important!!]

I gulped it all casually and then it was time for landing. Unfortunately I had one stoppage. So that means the plane takes off and lands 2 times!

As the plane descended, it was totally messy for me, I couldn’t understand what went wrong suddenly. Ears paining, plugged in the cotton buds, no use! Stomach brumbling.. wth! And then, nauseating feeling.. I grabbed the “paper” bag they had provided, probably for the same purpose, and held it. I didn’t like the paper smell and it just made things worse. I was trying to control it, but suddenly burst out like anything…

I threw all of it in that bag. Filled it up. I waved my hand to the cabin crew to ask for help, i.e. more paper bags. The girl said, “Sir we are already landing wait!”. Since no one is supposed to move around while take off or land. I was stuck for like 15 minutes while the plane descended and eventually landed and standing.

Now what happened meanwhile is what is funny and messy at the same time!!. I was holding the paper bag, little did I know it was getting all swollen from the bottom because of obvious reasons. And then, ******* !!!

All of it on my pants, the seat!! And what could I do!! Nothing! Why? “Sir the plane is already landing”

And I sat there, waiting for the immensely awesome and fresh fluid all over me, and slowly getting inside and everywhere!! I didn’t even have tissues at that point!

So what now…. The plane stops. I have an hour wait in the plane itself. The girl comes over, “Oh.. Don’t worry we will clean it up” I thought “WTH i am not a kid!! You guys could have saved this from happening”. So while the passengers got off, I was sitting embarrassed by the colorful fluid all over my pants…”

And I didn’t have any spare pants in my cabin luggage. So w00t now?

The cabin crew came with vacuum cleaners, cleaning the seat. Hard luck, they had to remove the seats :P I ask the man to vacuum clean my pants :D and dry it. *sigh* of relief no girls, except the cabin crew noticed all that!!

All settled, ready for take off 2. Settled down fine.. I thought I threw up everything already, and I didn’t have much left within. But what the heck, another landing and this time I was prepared!!!

I had 4-5 bags with me! yAy!! No mess this time ;) but of course I threw up!!

And then I was totally worn out, exhausted and what not!!!

All in all, I loved the beautiful part of the journey and this embarrassing part also makes me LOL!

And guys who gave all those tips to me! Thank you! But those didn’t help! You know why? Because you gave them post-incident & not pre-incident!

PS: This is a personal blog. And I am posting this experience of mine not for you all to laugh at me. But when I come over and see this.. I could laugh at myself :P

/me goes to the moon

I want to go to the moon!!! yAy!!

Well normal surfing on some blogs resulted me landing up on few of the NASA’s mission pages..

They say, we could send our names in a DVD and a chip being carried by the spacecrafts in both the missions.. Sounded like fun pHun! so there you go! My name is on the list too!

I always wanted to go to the moon.. Space would be calmer? eh… hmmm

I could sit there on my chair.. spread out my legs.. with my laptop on with a satellite connection [err.. I would be on a satellite already, if I were on the moon.. Wish it could communicate with stations down there ;-) ] and do what? Code :D But wait.. will I miss the Pizzas ? /me will need to call up some Pizza chain restaurants and figure out a deal with them, to open an outlet there.. gEez I would be so in business there?

I wonder someday, an alien would pass by to order a take away.. duh!! I would so fre4k out!! :P

Ma, Mom, Mother

Today, was an enlightening one. Today gave me something really great!

Although its a well known fact, that a mother to child relation is the purest and the strongest. I could only experience it myself today.

The mother takes all the pain, and prepares a shield for her child to protect her from the outside world and anything that could possibly harm her.

Mom takes all the pain, has the power to absorb it all. Doesn’t even shed a tear and does it happily.

Although one can never understand the agony of a mother. But today made me realize, and not do anything that would be so selfish of me to do and not think about the mother.

I could sense the pain in her words and the tear, and I could not do anything for my own selfish interest. She was someone else’s mother, but I called her mom too. I do that with each one of my friends mom.

Today made me a bit stronger, the words of wisdom from mother was soothing even though she was in deep pain.

Made me realise, that why a mother of a criminal, knowing that her child committed the crime [as per society], still stays by the child’s side and pleads to the government for his release.

I would like to say, I love you mom!

Makes me think of my mother, who has stayed silent most of the time, but knows everything whats going around. Give her a call when your tensed, and she just senses it. She keeps telling me, that “after all its my blood running in your body”

And yeah.. I love you mom !! :-)

Guys! do me a favor, go hug your mom today!
