Its been a while since I wrote! It is to the extent that I have forgotten that i have a space in blogspot where I have mused and penned down over the years. In the world of youtube shorts and instagram reels where does a written piece stand ?? I do have thoughts like these! But there are some who when I have met them told me, hey do u still write ? I do follow your blog, thanks to those kind souls. A blog is sometimes focussed on something specific isnt it ? technology or food or travel ? But what is my blog? ..Just some random stuff ! Maybe that is what I should have called it! - Just some random stuff.
The other day we were randomly discussing airlines when I remembered the first ever flight I had taken. A domestic Jet Airways flight within India . What has stuck to my memory about that journey is the flavored strawberry yoghurt I got to try for the first time on board. I probably paid more attention to the safety instructions by the air hostess than any lecture i had attended in my university days. I would have passed with flying colors and gotten the top score on that flight if someone had tested the passengers on how to inflate a life jacket or use an oxygen mask. Oh yes my first flight was after I graduated during my first year at work. I also paid full attention to exactly figure out the point in time and space when the wheels left the ground and the vehicle was afloat. I still enjoy watching city lights just after take off and just when we are about to land.
Now do you even call a plane a vehicle? Had to google to clarify that , yes a plane is a vehicle indeed and though we do have a lot of search engines, google is the one that sort of became a verb too that we are all used to these days. Coming to that will chat gpt become a verb someday ? I wonder ! I also have added the fact to my worldly knowledge that if someone carried a cat across the room , the person becomes a vehicle too !( that was from Quora ) . Since I have done that many times I am a vehicle too !
What if a person carrying a cat is actually inside a plane? Then its a vehicle carrying a vehicle carrying a cat! And what if this particular plane is on a huge ship and is slightly taxiing before take off. What a nested vehicle set up that would be !
Your post resonates a lot... Have a blog but seldom post. if i post who will read... from participating in daily blogging challenges to making just 2-3 posts a year, its stays quiet for most part of the year. But i still like reading my own old posts... loved reading your 1st flight exp.. the firsts are always special...
ReplyDeleteWhile I was going through my feed reader I saw your name, clicked on it, and stumbled on this post. Good to see your post after a long long time.
ReplyDeleteI can see that it has been nearly three years since you put put up your last post! That's indeed a very long break.
I got into a flight for the first time when I was in my late 30s. It was an official trip to Singapore.
Thought with which you end the post is indeed interesting!
