Sky Diving

Someone missed their flight today.

If I hadnt had run around back and forth between American airlines and American Eagle desks in time, that would have been two. If it wasn’t so, I wouldn’t have had the luxury of using the pull out tray that’s next to me which came in handy to use my computer during the flight, and ofcourse to write this.

If it wasn’t so, I wouldn’t have noticed this girl sitting on the other side of the aisle, who, from my outrageously illogical analysis, must be getting married soon.

Even if it wasn’t or it was, I would have noticed this woman in grey and black stripes. To her right there is a dad who denied onflight beverage to his son. I can see this kiddo everytime he leans towards his right . To my right, I don’t really see anything as its clouded below(yes.. below!!) and I don’t really know if you can see anything from 36000 feet even if it wasnt. But at 10000 feet, I do know how the land looks like when you see it from a plane’s window. I do know know how it looks like when you see it with the hatch open. I do know how it looks like when you see it, free falling at a speed of 120MPH. I do know how cold it is before you jump off. This should cover all the possible things I can do involving planes I guess. But if I am missing any I should be able to find out soon considering the fact that I had my first flight three weeks ago.

This is my first trip(to Boston) after I came in here to Rocky mount, NC.

[This ends the spree of posting the old drafts :)]

Road trip

Well, based on the fact sheet that never existed, this thing worked out only because of one reason. We thought about it on Saturday night at 11 and the next morning we were on a 200Km Road trip. Eight hours may seem enough time to plan for a trip unless you spend 7 hours sleeping and an hour to get ready. But, I guess this is the reason it worked out quite well. Surprisingly we were enroute without much delay in the morning. I had little problem keeping up with Harsh's car as it powerful than mine and also(i should have mentioned this before) I missed some(most) of my driving lessons. Truly speaking, I had only one hour lesson just one hour before my licence test. I went for driving classes for about a week one year prior to my licence test, which gave me an idea(only) about the four gears in the car(He didnt even allow me to shift the gears then). I came to know about the reverse in that one hour class on my test day. But somehow I magically passed the driving test and in my 4month 4000km course of driving, there is not even a single sctrach to my car.

PS. Just another post that was saved a while ago.

Godzilla and cricket

Once in a while you might have tried to figure out what was so funny about that particular day or person or incident, for which you remember that you have laughed your beeps off, but dont remember what exactly it was. To me, i remember there was something about godzilla and cricket during my schooling. That was so funny. But it takes a bit of time to figure out what exactly happened there. Well for our godzilla(a.k.a our english teacher), playing cricket is definitely out of question(we wouldnt have named him so if it was so), so it wont make any sense digging out something in that direction. But it takes a while to realize what we were laughing at.

That was 1998 and we were so much worried how we're gonna bring ourselves a world cup. We used to have study hours from 7 till the actual classes begin. But like all the good boys I used to wake up to a stupid elephant alarm sound by 5. The good thing about this clock was it used to say good morning when you put off the alarm, but still what the heck, you are already awake. Yeah, back to being good boy again, so good boys usually reach early. So when it says 7, we used to be there by 6. Ok now.. enough of this good boy stuff, we used to reach there early not really to be early but actually to play cricket till we see godzilla coming. I mean, its not like we realize that he is coming by seeing ripples in stagnant water or something like that, but you know if you can see someone even from a distance of 2km you must either a hawk or that must be a godzilla. We didnt know about the latter but we were pretty sure we were not hawks. So that was a logical choice. Now there is this obvious series of actions in which we run like crazy into the study rooms, trying hide the Bat and ball and sit like dummies with the books in our hands. Just like any other day we ran like crazy and threw the Bat inside the desk which eventually send the top edge of the desk in a downward projectile motion. This could have been better explained if we had a top angle camera set up right above us. Just in case if we had a camera panning sideways, that would have definitely captured the unfortunate moment of godzilla getting into the doorway right in front of the desk at a distance slightly less than the height of the desk.

Now fellas... how do we know that he was standing at a distance which is exactly slightly less than the height of the desk, for sure?

We wouldn't! not unless it fell right on his toe crushing his fingers. Thats right, the way we threw the bat inside took the top edge of the desk along with it, pivoting its legs. Now everything happens in slow mo. Desk falls on his toe crushing his fingers. First he tries to put an angry face, fails to do so since the extreme pain out-emoted his anger. He would not like if we'd found out he is in pain, so he walks out slowly. Comes back in again, asks us to leave for the day.

Everybody leaves. only the guys from the first bench looks back. Evil grin.

PS. This was one of those drafts that I saved up 2 years ago. I remembered this only because just then I came to know that one of those three guys from the first bench has passed away. Sad.
