Flying High

+'s friend H from the States was in town yesterday. Considering Delhi, going out for lunch meant eating the sight of a policeman pissing on the roadside and drinking the pollution from an otherwise CNG auto-rickshaw. H however, took it all in good humor, visiting India for the first time in 15 years, despite being an Indian himself.
So when I questioned him on which airlines he came through, he half-sighed in his reponse. "As an Indian, you see...", he replied, "...one feels very patriotic on such occassions. I thought it was best to support one's country - and hence I chose Air India".
Impressed, I asked, "So how was it like?"
"It was the biggest mistake I made".
Chagrined, I changed the topic.
