Lage Raho Munnabhai

In the Jet Airways flight from Chennai to Singapore I watched “Lage Raho Munnabhai“. Since I got a Business Class upgrade, they gave a Personal Video System – which was a small Fujitsu Lifebook laptop with customized hardware and software.



I don’t understand “Hindi” beyond the basics, so I was skeptical on how much I will like the movie and understand the jokes. But the English Subtitle really was useful and well done that I enjoyed the movie 100%. I laughed and laughed, that I had to control myself during several instances from being heard by my fellow passengers. I didn’t know Sanjay Dutt could do this well a comedy performance, I always imagined him to be an action hero (pardon my ignorance of Hindi Movies). The director “Rajkumar Hirani” has done a fabulous job of giving a movie of world-class quality in the presentation style.


Though it is sad that “Gandhian” philosophy has to be shown to be followed by a Gunda, it was given in a nice fashion. And finally, Vidya Balan was looking beautiful throughout the movie!

My Favourite Airways – Jet

Today I travelled from Chennai to Singapore by Jet Airways. Though MAA-SIN has several flight I picked this one, as it is conveniently leaving Chennai in the morning at 11AM and I wanted to try Jet Airways International Sector. Jet always has been my favourite airways and I wanted to see how they do in International sector. In short, I loved the flight and Jet’s impeccable service.


The ground staff was efficient, and they impressed me most for two things: First for they gracely upgraded me to Business Class (though with a Jet Upgrade voucher but that is valid only on Domestic Sectors) and Second for a very small thing but a gesture I loved - the Immigration Card they handed over already had the flight number filled up. Think about service and this is service – the ability to anticipate little things and do it for customer. Let me stop here I am sounding like their spokesperson :-)


Lastly, I am happy that I will get few thousand miles credited to my frequent flyer program, Jet when will you fly to USA?
