In the Plane !!

So finally after all the checks, we boarded the flight and first time i saw how a plane looks on the inside. after a minute we found our seats and it was really struggle for me to understand the Seat of the plane, ooh how complex a seat can get, you have a LCD TV in front, press a button and you have a small table and beside the seat belt there is a detachable remote , and a cup holder ..... took me half an hour to muster the details of the Seat alone, leave the plane !!.

and soon the flight started moving, luckily we got the seats 32J and 32K which were just beside the wings of the plane, the Wings were enormous !! like wings of a Dragon and was really wondering how those huge wings are fitted !!. The flight started its run on the runway gradually increasing its speed from 0-300 in a matter of seconds and i saw the wings suddenly coming alive by opening up the middle section to allow the air to aid for lift off, i was seeing the science in action live in my front of my eyes, and soon the plane was in the air as though somebody pulled it from top, i could see in my front LCD the speed and altitude of the plane changing gradually and steadily and few seconds i could see the Bangalore in night full of lights, Well i got myself confirmed planes do fly !!. Soon we were at a altidue of 10000 and now i can see entire landscape, and funnythings was it was not feeling like we were moving now !!, since the relative distance from earth was increasing the movement become smaller downbelow, it was like the plane was suspended in the air !!. Soon we reached the full altitude now of 30000 Feet and in the display i can see the map along with the flight route updating and flying over the Indian Ocean. Well onething i forgot to mention here, all my friends were telling the flights will be full of beautiful Airhostess !!!!!!, well people i was disappointed i serached from corner to corner could not see anyone, has to tell Anup to change our next trip to some other airline :). The airhostess started serving the drinks and we thought to celebrate our trip with litlle wine and we asked her for it. I had a bottle of White Wine and Rajendra Redwine, and after saying cheers, i finsihed the small botel in 2 mins and I was really tired at this point and went into sleep, thinking about landing in Paris ... Last thing i saw on the display before going to sleep is it was showing 804KM Groundspeed and -42F Temperature !!.
