Desi Girl Traveler’s Open Letter to Dr. Mallya. (Hear This.)

Desi Girl Traveler’s Open Letter to Dr. Mallya. (Hear This.)

Malini Agarwal
Dr. Vijay Mallya

Dear Mr. Mallya,

I know you’re a busy man. But since you so vehemently mentioned in that A/V (which I  could hear btw) how I should let you know personally if I had any feedback  on my flight I’m writing to you now…

Kingfisher Meal

As I enjoyed my Chicken Shezwan on Kingfisher Flight 308 from Delhi to Mumbai this morning I couldn’t  help but ponder the bizarre conversation I’d just had with two  fully-decked out Kingfisher air hostesses…

MissMalini: *oooh HIMYM is on I wonder when they’ll come around with headphones*

HIMYM

5mins later…

MissMalini: Excuse me, can I have a pair of headphones please?
Air hostess 1: No. We don’t have headphones.
MissMalini: You don’t have headphones?!
Air hostess 1: No. *walks off mildly peeved*

@MissMalini

15mins later…

Air hostess 2: What would you like for lunch?
MissMalini: *I can’t help it, I have to ask* sorry but, why don’t you have headphones?
Air hostess 2: The catering has not uplifted headphones. That’s the reason. *smile*

What?

MissMalini: Oh.. *sniff.*
Air hostess 2: Veg or non-veg?
MissMalini: *Dammit! How I wish I was a better lip reader, Now Doogie Howser is on too! Barney I can’t hear you, Noooooo!*

Doogie Howser

Meanwhile Richard Branson is launching people into outer space. I bet they get headphones.

#youmustbejoking,

MissMalini

P.S. As I waited to deplane, I overheard the air-hostesses discuss what  movies they watched on my flight! Singham apparently was very funny.  Gee thanks.
