Wating For Take-Off Poem by RAJ NANDY
Wating For Take-Off
WAITING FOR TAKE-OFF
(11 JUL 08)
Waiting inside Kolkata bound domestic JetLite
flight for take-off,
With traffic congestion in the Palam sky on top;
With my thoughts already having reached my
destination;
While the Boeing stood still without least
motion!
My patience started to erode and become thin,
When an urge to pen these lines came from
within!
The Captain declared over the microphone, -
That the delay in start up was beyond his control!
A VIP flight was taking off from Safdarjung
airport next door!
As a result we had to wait for an hour more!
If we add up all our late hours on the road, in
trains, in queues, and in domestic flights;
It would perhaps give us a fresh lease of life!
-Raj Nandy
