I was in Cochin, the bombings in the middle east had begun and every single flight going west out of Cochin was cancelled. I had a flight to Doha and i was planning to visit the new museum dedicated to the paintings of the Indian painter MF Hussain.
Whilst every one around me were flustering about my travel plans, i felt calm and relied upon the wisdom of travelling over the many years across the continents.
Fly to Bombay , there are more flights but with airspace closures, most flights to Europe were being cancelled. Couldnt find spaces on a direct flights to Europe. was able to find a flight on azerbaijan airlines to Istanbul via Baku and an Air France flight to Miami via Paris. this is about the flight from Paris to Miami.
At the end of a delightful and delicous flight the flight attendant approached me and said, Really enjoyed looking after you and you always had a smile on your face.With that he presented me with a certificate signed by himself and the captain, thanking me for flying Air France (I do have frequent flier status on this airline, my second best airline after Qatar Airways).
Unexpected pleasures like this convince me of the simple nature of the every day interactions are more motivating than quasi philosophical discussions about spirituality or mental wellness. I was fully in the moment enjoying the 9 hour flight from paris to miami, savouring the french cuisine and being pleasant to the people who make these flights possibel and enjoyable
Little unexpected pleasures like these make my day.. want to live yet another day as a honoured human being
also enjoyed the 15 minutes Clarin's facial massage at Terminal 2 E K Air France Lounge . La Masseuse etait Haitienne..
