@sev.puri- Hahaha totally relate. Unforutnely Bahrain airport ka indian staff is vvv creepy also. I flew out this feb after visiting my parents and one airport staff came to me and was like "I've seen your videos and im a fan". I was like what videos? And then he said your tiktok videos. I was like bro I'm not on tiktok for sure, thats the last thing I'll do, and he confirmed my name also which he knew correctly. I got freaked out and ran to my gate lmao.


But Gulf Air has the sweetest cabin crew. Love them. Emirates airlines is good. Food is also better. But Qatar Airways used to be my favorite until the Gulf issue and we aren't allowed to fly it anymore :(


Have you ever had the misfortune of taking Air Asia? My broke cheap ass took it once and man oh man, biggest mistake of my life.


Lmao that is creepy af! Girll what videos do you have of yourself floating around the net?😆


Singapore Airlines wins best staff for me. Customer service on a whole new level. (Also, full tub of haagen dazs, I was so happy lol) I think i’m biased cause I flew on the top of their double decker plane (Emirates charges extra for this) Anyone feeling adventurous and looking to fly atm, Emirates is actually providing free covid insurance cover. Emirates is both amazing and bad at the same time lol. When you fly from Europe to Dubai, the plane they put you in is 100 x better than Dubai to India/Pak.


Haha I have flown Air Asia a few times. It was DIRT CHEAP to fly between southeast asia through them. Trust me, once you’ve flown with Ryanair enough, Air Asia is a luxury😆

From Hrithik Roshan to Varun Dhawan...

Even folks like Sidharth Malhotra, who got a backdoor entry.😆

.... Also without being condescending, some of the people there are low skilled workers flying back home so you get to see people on airport chairs lying down with their chappals and bare feet on the seats. Not a pretty sight.

One of those moments when we are forced to come in close proximity with the masses. 😊

Also, considerable guys still don't know that the plastic flap is actually supposed to be sit on leading to unsavory restroom conditions.


This somehow reminded me of a completely unrelated personal experience. I had visited this city and had to urgently travel back, overnight in a bus. Just asked the auto guy to take me to a bus terminal, and caught the first bus I could find. As soon as I entered the bus, I was in for a shock. I could sense the smell of poverty! I was likely, at least appearance wise, the most privileged guy in that bus. After the bus left the terminal, it continued stopping, picking up more passengers on the way. There were no seats vacant, so all these guys started sitting on the floor. There was this elderly person, must be more than 70, who came and slept right on my feet. I didn't have space to move my feet back and asked him to move, but he didn't. Actually he probably couldn't because there was another person that had squeezed in next to him as well! After repeated requests, I tried to push him with my legs. And that's when I realized what I was doing. Kicking a possibly poor old man who doesn't afford a seat. A senior citizen sleeping cramped on the floor, at my feet. I vividly remember that one instant.


There is something about being surrounded by have-nots that makes us uncomfortable.

Interesting POV. Our privilege sadly makes us develop this unconscious bias. It’s embarrassing to admit but it’s true. My uncle was a GP and would have patients visiting him from dharavi (asia’s largest slum). When I was staying round his place, I used to have to bite my tongue when his patients would sit on the edge of that same bed. The same little girl that used to play doctor doctor with his stethoscope no longer wanted to touch that thing.


Honestly, sometimes I just think I grew up. *shrugs* as a kid, I remember having so much fun travelling on those Sai travel buses travelling to Shirdi. A few years back, due to unavailability of flights from Bombay to Goa, we went there by train (that too second class, first was sold out) and it was such a shock to the system that I remember demanding that we fly back no matter what. I mean the thought of having to pee in a large hole that went directly on the tracks was preposterous to me, with the tap of water outside the loo barely giving any water. Little me probably wouldn’t care.


Every time I see footprints on a plastic flap, I cringe so much, eww!

I thought this Alana Pandey forumites kept talking about was younger than Ananya.

Looks like she is already 25, abb BW mai chance mushkil hain.


Ya she is the oldest but petite and baby faced. I think she is happy being Insta Fashionova model. They earn a lot for just posting a photo so why would she want to so anything else?

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why they say don't use the rest-room near a station. Took some time to understand its to not inconvenience the folks standing on the platform. 😆 Indian Railways western toilets are a joke though, primarily due to being painted all over with pan & gutkha spit.


Actually the problem I was talking about is caused specifically by guys. Some of us think that flap is meant to "protect" the pot (which they think as seat) when standing and doing #1. Consequently that flap is left unusable (you'll see spots of droplets if you observe carefully)😆. No wonder Dimple Kapadia used to carry her toilet seat with herself wherever she went shooting, or so I remember reading as a kid. 😃
