I hope you like samosa !


A late night flight from Pune to Delhi. The Airline : Spicejet.
The aircraft: groaning - it’s a full flight.
The atmosphere: quiet, sleepy, mostly dark.
Our seats : One row before the last – window and middle.
Our neighbor in the front seat: A foreigner – jovial - with two kids.
The airhostess: Tired, maybe frustrated, maybe angry?
The food trolley: Starting from the front – crawling to the back.
The contents of the food trolley: Limited - slowly disappearing.
Will it have anything left as it finally reaches us – we wonder!
The food trolley – finally now – just a row ahead.
And just then, a friendly foreign head pops behind.
“I hope you like Samosa!” he grins.
Wise words – Funny words.
Words with a tangy lesson for us:
That when you don’t get what you want,
You better like what you get !!
