Air India operates shining new Airbus 319 aircraft not more than one year old on Mumbai-Singapore sector. I do respect you as a writer who is followed by millions, KINDLY DONOT FORM AN ADVERSE PUBLIC OPINION THRU' SUCH UNWARRANTED COMMENTS REGARDING THE NATIONAL CARRIER.<br /><br />Sharad Agarwalsharad agarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850021723760055954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-46014844285803777702009-06-12T12:41:31.241+05:302009-06-12T12:41:31.241+05:30and I hope it wasnt loveleen's idea to spoil Q...and I hope it wasnt loveleen's idea to spoil Q&A to the level slumdog was made to reachrthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405888546982763369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-67545284217351411312009-06-12T12:40:08.252+05:302009-06-12T12:40:08.252+05:30was comtemplating the about buying the book by Ani...was comtemplating the about buying the book by Anita Nair..thanks..now I can go and buy it...rthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14405888546982763369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-74179965755613159832009-06-11T11:48:16.195+05:302009-06-11T11:48:16.195+05:30:) wow! majja you had solid in Singapore.

Planes are like unlucky lottery tickets. If our number comes, the plane will crash. We think that it will not happen to us but when it happens it is the others who will begin to think so. I wonder how I may react. First it will be fear, then confusion and then resignation and a wish for an early end all within a matter of seconds. And then we will be news, search for black boxes, postmortems etc. As for the closet poet, most of us are poets and have our own little poems. Bong without his or her poetry is rather unthinkable. I rather prefer straightforward poetry a la Tagore style. It speaks of an honest mind and thought.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689987224896883318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-84948346994208823742009-06-10T08:24:01.680+05:302009-06-10T08:24:01.680+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689987224896883318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-45729527120740784392009-06-10T07:04:20.918+05:302009-06-10T07:04:20.918+05:30Chilly Crab is my favorite.
