Being Different

Last two weeks I was in United States for a business visit. Americans are generally very friendly and jovial guys. They have an airlines called as South West. South West Airlines is a budget airline but they love doing things in their own way. Eg. this is the only airlines I have seen where the air hostesses wear shorts and sport shoes !

They have a very funny way of making announcements eg. "This is a No Smoking and No Complaint flight - so please bear with us" or "For take off , the lights in the cabins will be dimmed. Now if you are scared of dark or suspect your fellow passenger to be naughty then you may press the switch on the top. This will turn on the lights. But pressing the Air hostess button will not turn On the air hostesses" or "We are heading for Salt Lake City. If you do not wish to land in Huston Texas then please switch off your mobile phones"

It is really very enjoyable that our usual "Kursi ko peti iss tarahase kholi jati hai ...."

I am sure in South West Airlines Library they might have put a notice like this ...

"In our other branch which is now under Taliban Control we normally chop one finger per day for the delayed books , here we charge 1 dollar. However for those patrons who get habituated for delaying books , we would like to offer a free membership of our Taliban Library"
