wind beneath my wings

seeing nuns in a minivan before boarding a plane is a sign of good luck....

let me tell you what constitutes a bad sign...

i am availing the privileges of the executive lounge at karachi airport, thanks to one of the credit cards that i own...and this evening the computers are working....the first thing i do is start checking all my favorite blogs..

i am taking a thai airways flight which means there is more than my share of khaipia (traders who evade import taxes by bringing in items of high value through personal baggage) .... i have come to recognize them from a distance...

as soon as i login, this gent occupies a pc next to me...he brings with him...a plate full of samosas and a bottle of mountain dew...he makes all sorts of animal noises while eating ......spills the crumbs on the keyboard...has a few gulps of mountain dew...burps a couple of times....has some more samosas..repeats the whole routine...and while i wait for this to get over as he runs of samosas, the guys leans to the other side as if aiming towards me and lets out a real stinker...

i am speechless...not to mention out of oxygen and gasping for air..

dew pee kar paad naheen deeya, to phir kiya kiya...that is another catchy phrase that they can have on the mountain dew ads now....

:)

shit...my nightmare is starting now...the flight takes off in 30 minutes...god please let this guy sit away from me....
