It's scary when the pilot says " Good morning everyone, this is the captain speaking ... argh .. hmm .. we are actually facing a technical glitch ... i really can't figure out what's wrong .... but the avionics and the navigation systems are down ..... " - To avoid such situations Govt. of India has made a policy of not using cell phones once you are on board the flight.
But .................. ironically .......... whenever I am on a flight and strictly follow the rule ( because i wanna live long and also because i dont wanna be that unknown reason for the technical glitch ) i always find a Superman gentleman getting all important phone calls at that very moment.
The uncanny truth about homo sapiens is that we love to do things abnormally, since some wise men have said that great people dont do different things , they do things differently .... so we have to do things differently ............ we have to make that unncessary phone call at the last minute ..... we have to unfasten our seat belt as soon as the indicator light goes off ....... we have to ask the air hostess to get a McDonald burger .... (knowing that McDonald's dont serve at 35000 feet) just to strike a conversation........................ we have to take our eyes away from the safety instructions being given, as if we know it by heart.
I still keep wondering why do people do this .............. just to prove that they are regular air travellers ............... or is it that fear of getting identified as " not a regular traveller ".
So whoever is reading this ............... it's not wise to take that last minute call just before take-off rather it's safer to neglect that call and switch it off .................
It's totally our call !!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it !!!!
