Airlnes refuse to help the disabled.

My goodness India is a very cruel society. I wonder if they have something called a heart.
Firstly hardly 1-2% of the passengers are crippled/need wheelchair assistance. So helping 1-2 passenger board a flight should not be a big deal. right?
About the passing the cost to other healthy passengers. If your airlines is so much lean and mean as you claim it to be, then why don’t u allow them to have a companion who would roll them to their airport seat and quickly board off the plane (without creating any disturbance) …. it works perfectly well for Railways, Bus services.. I wonder why it won’t work for airlines…
or if you have problems in doing that… make a announcement…. I am sure not 1 not 2 but alteast 20 co-passengers will love to volunteer.

BTW one of my best friend has a polio… and I have been friends will some physically challenged individuals and none of them want to be assisted or any special treatments. All they want is that the buildings and airports should have a ramp comfortable enough for them to roll. They r not looking for charity… so don’t portray as if you are giving them one
Is it too much to ask for? Is it something for which they should pay extra?

Dynasty Rule

Recently I saw this nice post at TNSatish

The text inside the cartoon is, “Monarchy in Nepal is abolished, and all the powers are transferred to the Prime Minister”.

The text outside the cartoon is, “It would be good, if we also abolish monarchy, and transfer all the powers to the Prime Minister”.


and this made me think:
1) The Bush and the Clinton family has been ruling America for the past 20 years and the next President is very likely to be another Clinton.
2) The Nehru family (Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and now Sonia Gandhi) have been ruling the country for the past 60 years.
3) The Bhutto family Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, and now her teenage son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari are controlling the political sphere of the country.

How on earth can a teenager lead a country? Is it really the return of the dynasty rule? or is democracy so irrational?
