Can I open my seat belt please? Is it safe?

Azhar, his wife Farheen and daughter Niyamat, on Flight Number XX 111, from Delhi to Hyderabad.

He is happy that he got an opportunity to travel by AIR, Thanks to the low cost airlines.

He is taking Niyamat to Hyderabad to admit her in prestigious IIIT.

The flight starts at 7 pm and he is seated next to me, I always prefer an aisle seat (not to take the benefit of touch seriously) because it is easier to sit and quit.

The moment this family located their seats, a small fight starts between the two fairer sexes(mom and daughter) and the point of contention was the poor window seat, both wanted to see how delhi looks like from top, Azhar keeping himself out of the verbal hungama and pretended like he is unrelated to the ladies in discussion.

Finally, Guess what! The mother won without a democratic support(autocratic it seemed). But Women…what she will do looking delhi from top and keeping it with herself…white flag!!!! and started cosing her daughter and few minutes later they both started staring at starry night of delhi from top and giggles aloud followed.

What do you do and where are you going Mr? Azhar asked me while I was reading Connect the Dots(Rashmi Bansal), I responded, naukar hain ek company mein, and I recalled a bollywood flick where actor respond a funny answer like this flight goes to hyd and fortunately I don’t have any option but to land there. But I felt inappropriate to answer like way.

I am going to help my kid admitted in IIIT, you know its very good college. I calmly said yes, started thinking that times surely have changed, people(muslims) have started sending their alone daughter to as far as Hyderabad for studies.(frankly this was not the case in early 90”s)

Look Hyderabad is arriving screamed Niyamat and Azhar and Farheen all crouched their thin neck on the single window and immediately the flight took a little left tilt and then I could sense a feel of scare on the faces.

Ferman(by now names were exchanged), said Azhar, can I open my belt now, is it safe now? and go to the washroom. My God! This person has not opened his seatbelt for last 100minutes.

But could sense how low cost airlines have changed the way common man travels.
