Ranjan (sitting in the Bharat Airlines bus, talks to his neighbour). I must say, I’ am most impressed with the efficiency of the Airlines. Air travel is so much more organized, faster cleaner than any other form of travel. Don’t you think so?
Fellow Passenger Yes. It certainly is the fastest way of getting from one place to another. I am a businessman. Very often I travel to

Ranjan Isn’t that wonderful? You can travel 20000 miles in a day and do a full day’s work as well.
Fellow Passenger Yes, but this business of Security check wastes so much time. Then the planes are not keeping to their correct timings. Sometimes it can be very frustrating and upsetting too.
Ranjan Here we are Sir. May I hold one of your luggage bags ?
Fellow Passenger No thank you I can carry my bag luggage. Thank you all the same for the offer.
