Flying 'Low'

“A body at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force”

I guess this brilliant ‘law of Inertia’ by Sir Newton does not merely applies to physical bodies, but also has an emotional quotient to it. And so it must, as it is well capable of defining the human psychology to resist any undesired change in their lives.

Of the two kinds of people in the world, I am one of those who do not appreciate a change until changed. And flying (or should I say traveling) is one of those transitioning phase which depresses me the most. From the long waits during check-in to the pressure-dropping ear-numbing crammed economy cabins, there always are noises of baby(s) crying in perfect harmonic imbalance with that from the engines just to add the cherry on your ‘icing’ misery. And then there is God who doesn’t seem to care less and callous to my boarding prayers, never bestows me with a ‘nice girl next seat’!

But then drearier to the sleepless hours and Lilliput Lavatories is the phenomenon I explained above. And this time more than the physical movement it is the change of the state of the mind, the fact that these closing doors will open to the new, sometimes unfamiliar worlds and you may not see the same side of the sun. Nevertheless, the gush of new wind soon carries away these feelings and you start embracing the new horizons, realizing how worthless would it have been being averse to such a momentary phase in life…

When change is the only constant in life, better play the other variables and keep the equation right…
