Life is a comedy of errors.said somebody.And its really a breath of fresh air every morning going through the window of the world-a newspaper.Whoever said that the epapers will one day sent the print media to bite dust is as myopic as a person on the front row ogling at Aishwarya Rai in Kajra Re dance number.I mean where can you get the luxury of turning the pages of a Times of India(Economic Times if you are a higher intellect,big finance hotshot and Bangalore Times -if its me) ,sipping a steaming cup of hot tea while the morning sun gradually heats your skin to a pleasant warmness.The laptop will also provide the warmth on your lap -"technically speaking" but then where is the joy of making a nice fold of it after you are through and then slyly putting it back to the neihbours doorsteps from where you picked it up ?
Coming back to the uses of newspaper vis-a-vis the epaper,I find the newspaper to be winning on all departments sans the environmental issue, but then everything is causing Global warming these days including the burping of cattles and Katrina Kaif's hotpants, so why to blame the newspaper alone.And some people like me , concious of the global warming and all,prefer stealing the newspaper from the neighbours or from the office.(RK Pachauri will be proud of me)
1. Imagine you are reading the filmy masala and wondering whether blowing yourself into smithereens as a suicide bomber is more painful than partcipating in Rakhi's swayamwar,you happen to see a spider crawling up your feet.Can you fold you laptop and hit it on the spidy?
2. Your neighbour's sexy daughter is doing stretches on her spandex on her balcony.Ok less imaginative, she is jogging in the park in a jogging dress,nevertheless now you dont seem interested in Mayawati's sexy handbag anymore and you dont want to miss the only high you can get on a day.Can you peep a hole in your laptop and drool at the lass ?
3.You are as tech savvy as Rabri Devi and clicking on zillion links on a epaper is as comforting to you as acting for John Abraham.
If your answers to the above questions are NO , then welcome to our breed of simple people who like to keep things simple.The KISS acronym,right?

It was one of those beautiful mornings , I was on my balcony enjoying the morning paper with a cup of hot tea and thinking about why Govinda is still acting,I glanced through the Headlines "Air India caught flying with 3 extra flyers". Now I am a person who has had the privelege on commuting in overstuffed autos( the ones where you sit on the driver's seat with 3 other people and all you can see of the driver is a pair of hands maneuvering the handle out of thin air),overcrowded buses (where sometimes you are made to sit atop the engine box and the driver skillfully changes the gear underneath your tangling legs), too much overcrowded trains (where sometimes you create your own place at the basin near the entrance doors or some more unfortunate souls travelling in the loo).Most of you have done that unless your parents are not into smuggling golds business.
It seems Air India nowadays is competing with Indian Railways in all respects.You dont increase your passenger fair, we will bring down our tariff.You accomodate so many extra passengers, why should we be lagging on that.There's always room in the cockpit for such situations right? Imagine a Sreesanth like person given the entry in the cockpit, for whom "all the world's a stage" and then he starts fiddling with the gadgets and the pilots in the absence of a Harbhajan Singh to slap him down,your journey would surely be adventorous if not safe.I mean sitting beside a autodriver and doing bakar with him is ok,in a worst case scenario you might end up in a hospital with a couple of broken ribs, but allowing people to sit in a cockpit, is beyond the radar of my rational thinking.
It seeems that the company is in a soup `now and has fired a lot of staffs responsible for their magnanimous behaviour.Air India should not worry about competition from other private aircraft companies,because the government is always there to fill its coffers with tax payers money even if they are making losses.All they should worry about is seeing that people reach their destination safe and sound.
So next time you want a adventure filled ait travel, you know where to book your boarding passes to. Who knows you might end up learning a few avionics lessons on the way.

Great article. Laced with humor. Gags like the one involving sreesanth in a cockpit and john abraham's acting prowess was really out of the box.
