Why is the Bond a NOT NOT SEVEN?

NOT (NOT (SEVEN)) = !(!(7)) =! 0

Why was he NOT-ed twice to become a ‘Non-Zero’?

Then I found it not to be a NOT but a NOUGHT.

The rain clouds were happily wetting the land. I saw the aircraft as I neared to it. “Shucks!”, I said it to myself. My inner self jumped in Joy. The Airhostess greeted me with a smile and showed my way to the seat. I got reminded of a horse whenever I saw her then. The seat wasn’t comfortable. I wondered how an Airbus can have such a seating. One of the co-pilots was a Woman. Hoh, from raising a family to riding a flight, I was pleased with their omnipresence. I stayed calm, counting the moments for take-off.

The announcements about the Take-Off came in Hindhi and English. I latched my seat belt and peeped through the window. The craft snailed to the runway and took its position. The wings along with the air propellers had to prove it again - the Bernoulli’s principle. The noise of the engine filled the cabin. I kept looking the outside for relative motion. The aircraft rolled in a jerky fashion with utmost speed. It was not worser than riding a bullock cart with a car’s engine on Bangalore roads. The jerk and the noise fadded in a brief. Damn! it was flying.

The flight propelled seeking the sky. I was headed towards Mumbai. From the top, Bangalore did not appear to be Green at all. Google Earth also confirmed this. The machine tore apart those grey clouds and then the cotton clouds. It kept climbing for quite sometime. There were occasional jerks in this time. I moved my head out of the window.

Seeing me uneasy on my seat, the lady near me pointed me to a button. I pressed and the seat leaned backwards. Aahhaa! I thanked the lady - she’s proactive. I informed her that It was my 1st time to be on Air. She was surprised to hear that. I got surprised to see her in surprise. India isn’t the land of Business and Priviledged classes. On further conversation, learnt that the female is a head hunder of a consulting firm dealing in SAP business. This high-healed, nasal speaking, regularly gaging, middle aged hen is a Mumbaikar but settled in Bangalore. Flys frequently and enjoying the Airline lunch - leading that kinda life.

The carrier had reached a considerable altitude and now flying smooth. The cabin crew plunged into action and served lunch. Nothing to boast about the food. The horse came and went. I felt a bit drowsy but complelled to look outside. It had been dark since I saw earlier. I could feel the fight descending. I prepared myself for the landing. After a bullock cart like ride, it came to a grounding halt.

9th Oct, ‘05 - the day arrived. My Dad and Mom had come to participate in the special occasion. I was busy in buying things while my folks were packing the baggage. All of a sudden, our travel co-ordinator calls me and says that my tickets were not confirmed and I have to travel via Mumbai. This Indian Airlines flight bound to Mumbai is 5.5 hrs earlier to my perv itinerary. I had to rush-up.

Everything was set right and we were in the Airport Lounge. There were numerous chicks clad in Red skirts, fishing everybody’s eyes. The Kingfisher’s crew were busy in making the Big Impression. From outside, the B’lore International Airport appeared far below to Coimbatore Airport which was 5 years before. Checked-in the baggage, got the boarding pass. The excitement was overflowing. My Parents wanted me to eat well, do good work and fly back in triumph. Tangu gave all the means to reach the Hotel from Narita, in case if the supposed person fails to pick me from Airport. There came a call for the security check and I had to depart. Went a bit emotional, controlling my senses, I said, ‘TaTa போயிடு வரங்க!’.

The room where I was seated didn’t feel like an Airport Terminal. The walls has dirt and lost lusture. There was noise everywhere. I was thirsty and sweating. The Airport Authorities called for my class. Tthe majority of the crowd raised from their seats and moved - ‘Economics of Scale’ worked here too!.

Asok: Anna, When will u be on a foreign trip for onsite work? It has been 3 years since u started to work.
Appa: Wait and See. Your Brother will get a stamping on his passport before the end of this year. His astro signs are to his side!

In the early of September 05′, this happened.
