and akkada small size screens unnayi .. where we can play movies on demand ..
thats it we got the remote and started exploring that too ...

then we got the announcement to fasten the belts.
nenu , chaitanya window ki atukkupoyamu ..
The plane slowly started moving and suddenly with a great speed and finally we took off ...
I can never forget that sight .. Hyderabad is dazzling .. that too diwali kavadam tho .. the sky is so beautiful with all the fireworks!

Episode 2:

Flight takeoff avutunappudu ..sudden ga naa ears lo edo cotton pettinattu .. emi vinipinchaledu … I was panicked
But later it was fine !
Next meals .. they gave at 1:30 AM
I have opted for asian veg meals and chaitanya has gone for high fibre meals.
Mundu tana meals vachayi …
As we opened , we found something like paneer curry, some biscuits, fruits and some juice …
Later we found that its not paneer .. but its fish !!
Anthey … we were stunned … coz she doesn’t have non – veg
And for me it’s a Saturday !!
Next naa meals vachayi
It got some biryani rice, dal, peas curry … u don’t believe “avakaya” … hammayya emi ichina ivvakapoyina avakaya ichi batikinchadu anukunna!
Ofcourse yoghurt …(curd ni ikkada yoghurt antaru)
Its damn tasty … later we had some orange juice …
Tarvatha vadu lights off chesadu and we tried to sleep ..!
In between I woke up and peeped thru the window … and I could see some islands .. ocean …but evry thing was dark.
Morning leche sariki … we landed in Singapore at around 7 A.M.. before that we were announced to adjust our clocks to forward by 2 ½ hrs.
It was 3 degrees out side ani vadu cheppagane naku bhayam vesindi .. coz I don t even have a woolen coat … and yes .. it’s a wonderful experience to see clouds floating by … and some times the flight is above the clouds ..
Antey generally they are above us kada … its exciting when u see them to be below urs .. J

Singapore airport is really fantastic !! there I found a new English word “Travellator”. Its something like escalator .. ofcourse escalator we use to go vertically … but this is horizontal .. instead of walking ..just stand on that … it will take u J

Next we boarded the Australia flight again on Singapore Airlines itself.

This flight is much more good than the previous one , ofcourse i expected this ...

"yes mam , u r true .. GOD is everywhere and in every thing he created i agree... but each of his creation has a purpose and if at all we misused or manipulated its purpose ... itis then where need to apologise " u said the floor .. this is meant to walk.. and that is why we dont apologise .. but still in our epics we had a sloka which is meant for asking the GODDESS of the EARTH to forgive us for hurting her with our foot steps.
but where as walking on others foot is certainly a mistake isnt it?
and money .. certainly u know the value and the purpose of money .. and that is why we should not insult it.u said money is created by us ... there is nothing like which we created or which belongs to us .. everything is HIS..." ani avesam ga lecture ichesanu ...
