The Monk who pulled the Lever!

The wise and the ancient have always sought the inner calm in a place that is free from boundaries and has enough 'breathing room'. A monk takes this practice to the hilt! Recently a 45 year old monk from Myanmar was traveling on an Air India flight that was bound for Yangoon from Kolkata via Gaya. Feeling the effects of closed quarters that spiraled in to claustrophobia, the monk decided to let some air in. Minuted before the aircraft was about to fly he pulled the lever of the emergency exit promptly deploying the emergency chute!


Causing quite a bit of panice the situtation was finally brought under control and the plane departed 7 hours later for its destination!
