Returned to Kochi after a nice trip. It was from Madras to Kochi via Bangalore and consequently, there was a repeat refreshment on both the legs of the journey - four arrow root biscuits and a mango juice! While appreciating the austerity measures and the fact that it's a shuttle service, I've the following questions:-
(a) Can't anyone in the Air India think of providing two different menus for refreshments?
(b) Or is it that they go by their argument that the passengers are different in each leg simply ignoring the
fact that it's not so on the ground?
(c) And after all these measures, why is the airline still running heavy losses?
I suppose it's sloth, unimaginative practices and insensitivity to the passengers' needs that are the hallmarks of a journey in the national airline. Sad! And nobody seems to care!!
Met Marys after a long while - she'd arrived from Port Blair the previous evening - and it was nice catching up with her from where we'd left last. She was off to be with her father who's 84 and to put it in her own words, has a host of medical complications. She'd be with him for about three weeks and would be reviewing his medical management.
On arrival at Kochi, it was a scoot to Aluva to attend a meeting and by the time I reached home, it was sunset and was just in time for my walk.
Tailpiece.
It took more than an hour to traverse a distance of 10 kms thanks to the heavy crowd of shoppers in view of the forthcoming festivals of Id-ul-Fitr and Onam. Whoever says that the average malayalee doesn't have money is talking utter gibberish and is unaware of the facts on the ground!
