'Nano'fying the Skies!

It looks as if the age for the tiny and the less space consuming has arrived. With a number of companies including our very own Tata developing and launching miniature cars, the industry is witnessing a paradigm shift to the age of the small and efficient. Mahindra one of the leading car manufactures had recently acquired two firms in Australia fro developing small aircrafts.


Coming up with a nano of its own, Mahindra is all set to launch 2 seater air crafts that are not just small in size but also custom designed to brave the harsh weather conditions in India.

I guess size does matter now!

Habib Husain, an Indian working in Saudi Arabia had dreamt of a thriving future when he had gone to Saudi Arabia. However the bad conditions there forced him to find a way home. Hiding in the toilet of an Air India plane he traveled all the way back to India.


On arrival he was caught and handed over the police although he was released recently on bail.
I am sure he can't be compalining of the cramped spaces!

Cramping it up!

New twists to the molestation row! The footballers of the team Churchill Brothers who were involved in the molestation of the Spice Jet air hostess were freed on bail a few days ago.
Now the chief patron of the Churchill Brothers  team is alleging that the cramped spaces aboard the airline had actually been misunderstood as molestation and is even planning to sue the airline for defamation!


I mean is there not one person left who can stand up and take responsibility? Cowards, I tell you all of them!I would have probably HELPED the footballers use the Emergency exit mid-air had I been on the plane!

Footballers caught for High Handed behaviour!

Recently on a spice jet plane 2 footballers active in West Bengal tried to molest the air hostess! One of them apparently caught hold of the her ass cheeks and squeezed it! After landing the CISF arrested the duo and placed them under custody.



I mean don't these guys get to handle enough balls on the field!

Hostage Drama on Air India!

Rising tempers and cancellations led to a dramatic series of events on an Air India plane. Set to take the pilgrims for the Haj, the Air India plane bound from Mumbai was canceled due to the fog in New Delhi.


A few of the infuriated passengers about 20 in number blocked the gates of the aircraft and refused to let the crew deboard, holding them hostage for a while.

The matter was finally sorted out but talk about irate passengers! Crew take note!

Caught in the Mist!

Saturday last, the heavy fog that descended onto New Delhi played havoc with the travel services and affected a karge number of trains and flights. A close to 200 flights were delayed even though the newly revamped airport boasts of state of the art equipment and 3 runways.


Guess this was not enough to take us out of blind sight!

What a high!

Recently an Ethiopian national, a 21 year old girl was arrested at the Mumbai airport. Apparently she was carrying 1.6 kilograms of Heroin in her luggage which amounts to quite a lot of money! Sad that such young people are getting involved in major crimes..




Hope she didn't have to ring in the new year in a jail cell!
