"What the hell" could be your first reaction. The idea that someone actually blogs about this could put you off. You havent seen the other blogs i have seen, this would probably get the booker against that.
"26 years and you are saying this is your first time, tsk tsk tsk" might be your next reaction. FY Kind I, we live in India. What an american teenager gets to do countless times before he goes to college, an Indian adult would be praying to all Gods to do even once. Well, not all Indian adults per se, we've definitely improved over the last decade or so. But nevertheless, most of them atleast.
"So, you got lucky. Big deal, huh" is your next possible reaction. Let us not get too judgemental , shall we ??
"Considering the lofty standards you have set, what did you goof up this time" is probably around the corner. Uhmm, yes. I think i just kept on laughing which would've been, uhmm, slightly uncomfortable for everyone else involved. Yeah allright, it doesnt matter what others think and as long as you are happy its okay. But this is not just about me, is it ??
"So, how did it feel" would be your curious next question. It felt a bit strange to begin with, but once we got the feel of it, it felt .. it felt like i was in the air, flying, the clouds were under me, me soaring through the skies with absolutely no one to stop me. I guess it takes some time to used to it. Should check if every first timer fumbles a bit, laughs to himself, and slowly enjoys the feeling.
"So did it end, and if it did, how did it end" is a natural question. Oh well, all the usual crap about "all good things should come to an end" is taboo. Saying "it was good until it lasted" is probably rude. But i have to say, for some unknown reason, i felt my stomach churning towards the end. The feeling as if, as if someone is pulling you back to earth from the sky, when you were just enjoying the feeling.
"What next" is what i hear. Uhmmm, given a chance, i guess i would want to do it again. Regardless of how other are going to see it, or if am going to get that familiar stomach churning feeling, am going to do it again. 26 long years is long enough to be desperate for more.
Thank you Indian Airlines.

Thanks for the comments mate :-) .. even if the "seat belt" lights go off, the threatening lady voice from the speaker says "it is safer to wear seat belts even otherwise" .. so wasnt sure when to take them off either ;-)
