I think one of the keys to happiness is to be thankful for what we already have. I travel a lot and sometimes I forget what a privilege it is, even with the increased security and crowded flights.
Here is a video about a guy in Deli, India, who bought a retired Airbus A300 and put it in his yard so kids can achieve their dream of sitting in an airplane. The video reports that 99% of Indians have never boarded an airplane, and that hundreds visit the plane every week. Think about that next time you fly and see if you don’t feel a little bit better about your life.
Mr. Gupta, I’m sure you are inspiring a lot of future engineers and airline pilots. Well done!
