Surprise me with any of the wrong deed, I missed out. :)

Mr. Thiagarajan, the CEO of Paramount Airways says:

Whether it is the gilded crockery or the linen serviette or the personal warm attention that our cabin crew gives to every passenger, our goal is to pamper our passengers.

He had certainly pampered Kenneth. His own account:

So they booked me on seat no 1 on the 1950 flight - offered me a car and driver to go home and come. I said I would sit in the lounge and work - they said fine, eat and drink as much as you want. As I sat down to eat, got a call - ‘there is a jet flight leaving in 10 minutes - would you like to go on that?’ So I went on that with about 5 people to carry my luggage, zip me through security and put me on the plane which was kept waiting for my arrival. Nice to be the only person on an airport bus.

Having myself traveled with Paramount twice, I tell you, the experience is one of a kind. The treatment would be like as if you are a business man, flying in first class. I think, its hostesses are much prettier in being pink than the ones being in reds. Atleast, they look more gentle & humane than being hot & wild. More than that, you get free access to airport lounge, utterly spacious seats with the absence of middle seats & in-flight gourmet meal. With Paramount, you feel like as if you are in a private/corporate jet or something. Of course, there isn’t any personal video screens comparing the Kingfishers. But who wants a CEO to come & greet you every time with his numerous toy planes?

From a thriving textile business to a fledgling aviation business? Flying aircrafts for real? That too from south? When every other guy headed to establish a low cost carrier, forming a business class airline? I think what he has done is pretty remarkable. Wishing my best.

Check out what Seth says about being remarkable:

One day:

Mom: Shall I get you new clothes for your Birthday?
Son: Don’t worry mom. I’ll buy it by myself.

Another day:

Mom: Your Dad & me are just thinking. Shall we get you married?
Son: Hmm! Ok. But try to get a nice girl who suites our family.

Such a situation occurs for fellas, be it a guy or a girl, for whom love didn’t strike or even if it had struck, it would have struck the wrong chord. Yep! We are talking about arranged marriages that aren’t out of love. There can be love from the parents, but definitely not between the guy & the gal.

Such marriages are good in a societal setup; telling people that the guy or the girl isn’t on the loose. But certainly, its a blow for the internal values of the individual. For a person who grows with fulfilling his needs by himself, this is for sure a failure case. A desire un-accomplished with his mere & meek abilities. Something he is incapable of, that brings in embarrassment to the core.

You may counter, that its all within the parents & the child, & there’s nothing to feel low of. But the truth is, the parents are so very caring, forgiving & more importantly forgetting the real twists in their child’s behaviour. Even the child is little bold enough to ask for things that he/she hasn’t mastered enough. It all happens for the sake of “One Big Happy Family”.

In case you are still wondering what the PG in the title means, its Parental Guidance. :)

Today, on my way to lunch, saw one of my colleague to be in the lobby talking to someone over phone. I’m done having food, while returning, I witnessed the same sight. He was still talking. Then, I noticed his mobile phone. Its the same as my mine. I didn’t know what to say. Wondered who is on the other side of the line. Wondered what would be the subject of that useless conversation. Wondered how much of torture he is going thro’. Wondered how much his phone bill be. Wondered why I’m bothered. So, paused for a second & moved on. :)

Btw, today is International Men’s Day. Did you blurted, “So what?”? Yeah! So what? :)

The 1st english movie, I saw, had a scene like this: Some worm like giant creature in a slurry of mud all over it, keeps sneezing & because of it, a girl slips while she is attempting a climb. I donno its name nor its story. My mom & dad had taken me to this.

The next one, I remember is Mackenna’s Gold. Those where the times when the theatre folks didn’t honor film ratings. My pitha (Dad’s brother) took me to this film along with his friends. Still I could recollect, in the break he buys me an Egg Bonda & a coffee, takes me back to the seat & leaves me there. He then goes out to join his friends. I was wondering on what he was doing, so sneaked out. To my shock, he was smoking a white cigarette. Will I be quite? The 1st thing I did, as soon as I reach home is to tell my Dad about it. :)

Then next is the innumerable Jackie Chan movies starting from the Police Story series. I hate chinese films to the core, specially those with martial arts. But, the Jackie Chan’s are very acceptable.

Rambo & its sequels are the next. The way Stallone screws the bomb to his arrow & launches it was amusing. I think, in Rambo III, he settles with more of automatic weaponry. And what a physique, man? Haven’t known about Arnold until Predator.

Blood Sport, its about some stage fights where people gather & cheer for fun. My dad picked me up for this. I donno why. :)

For Jurrasic Park, we went as a family. I remember my brother to cry. Many school children had come in groups. The start of the movie was very scary. I didn’t understand the story of how they brought those Dinosaurs to life. Those times, the dialogues were hard to follow. After, I started to work, happened to read the novel of this book. Did I mention, this to be my 1st novel ever? Anyways, the experience was far better, as I could add screams, noises, BGM, visuals & dialogues from the movie, while I read it. Enjoyed reading every bit of it.

Golden Eye, the first bond movie, I ever saw. There’s sure a magic in the theme music of the Bond’s. Talking about music, happened to see, The Mask, during the same month or so. I could still remember the BGM for the 1st scene of Cameroon Diaz. Made it so dramatic. :) Not to forget the Jumanji, King Kong & Godzilla.

The recent movie, with which I had good time was Knocked Up. Subbudu wrote about it, so went on to see. Althou’ the comedy is a little raunchy, its a good watch. I recommend it, if you are a grown-up. :)
