Mariyam travels to Dubai-It requires courage

The Air India flight from Hyderabad goes to Dubai via Ahmedabad.
I was escorted by the kind air hostess to my seat 12C(again an aisle no pun intended).
The flight was full upto the brim, it seemed the airline gave free tickets to everyone. Passengers were coming in like red ants in line BUT in large number.

I felt comfortable in my seat and started searching for the earheads (since this flight had a nice small TV). While doing so, messaged my Wife about the boarding information(you ought to be dutiful…) most of people were taking the benefits of talking to their friends/relatives regarding the boarding except some of the business wallahs taking about the rates and found this as an opportunity to close the deal.

Mariyam bol rahe hain, a soft voice came from behind, saw a cute(see I could see her eyes and were cute and one can imagine the rest)girl of around 25-27 years of age(was in a veil, top to bottom) but how come I be so sure about the age, see dekh kar idea to lag hi jata hai(chahe burqa pehna ho ya nahi).

Amma ko phone dena, haan amma hum baith gaye hain.. dekhiye awaz aa rahee hai na pilot ke message ki…haan amma fikra nako karo aap, pahunch kar bata denge aapko….
Since voice was coming from behind, I could not resist myself listening to the conversation.Poor human instincts you see.(apne se zyada doosre ki duniya mein kya ho raha hai wo dekhna chahhta hai)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please switch off all your electronic devices as these may create problems in navigation- come the HEAD MISTRESS type voice- was the announcement cum order.

I was surprised that Mariyam overheard the announcement and the conversation goes like this.

Amma, suniye ab awaaz aayee jahaaz ke chalu hone ki?...pause….. Hai na achhi… pause… ab dekhiye ud raha hai… take off hone ki taiyaree hai… pause… dekhiye ye uda… uda uda…My GOD I said myself…what the ****, this girl kept talking till the network went automatically off(within milliseconds of the plane started on runway), I could see the unhappiness on her face(eyes) for not been able to connect to her relatives back on ground.

But I cursed myself, why people like me become ignorant of the fact that this type of carelessness could cause a major problem sometimes. The ideal way was if I saw no airhostess bothered to come(more busy pampering the Business class passengers) and check the same, I should have raised the alarm and made them notice the same else, should have asked the cute looking Mariyam to switch off her mobile devices. But it requires courage to stand up and ask.
