I am fascinated by flights. Sure they include flights of fancy. In this blog, they refer basically though to travelling on aeroplanes. Why so? Well, multiple are the reasons. For one thing, aeroplanes prove that the sky is indeed not the limit! In addition, even when all of us are now used to saying that any place on the earth is just a skype away, there is no real alternative to a flight away, right? That is the real zoom, right?
The view from an aeroplane can make a poet out of the most prosaic person. The Liliput towns below, the mighty oceans looking like a great lake or a grand river tops, the sun appearing right next door, or rather the window, everything about a flight is absolutely fabulous. Truly a flight gives wings to your fancy!
Why, I find the plane taking off and landing down simply superb. Sure, when the plane starts taxying down the runaway, there is that "giant wheel" feel for a few seconds. That slight sensation soon disappears, and then you start enjoying the announcements by the pilot, the artificial smiles of the air-hostess, why, even the funny uppity arrogance of most travellers!
You realize thus how the world is indeed a small place because most passengers are not moved by this unbelievable miracle made possible by the human spirit, by the creative use of human brain and imagination. Most continue to be as banal and boring as they are in their earth-y avatar. Personally though, I feel that while flying, we are touched by divinity! Flying indeed is a fabulous fantasy that literally is in seventh heaven!
Pratima@Given my fascination for flights, it is no wonder that I totally agree with Henry Ford who stated," when everything goes against you, remember an airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."
