Great piece...if only you had taken care of some grammatical mistakes here & there....disturbs the flow of writing....nyways what you have pointed out is soo true... I travel a lot alone & I always end up with strange beings....the worst one being a woman with a month old baby who couldnt stop making noise & her mom expected me to baby sit ``that thing`` while she enjoyed her flight.....& sometimes it even seems that the flight u r going in was reserved 4 the elderly & the only young person around is you....
At that time all your dreams of having a ``HUM TUM`` type encounter go down the drain.....(yes u do dream sometime of running into a Saif Ali khan)

My rantings r probably goin 2 make u wonder again what happened 2 `` the shy girl of yesteryears`` ???

On the one hand i dont want to be too harsh given that you seem to be a sweet if somewhat unrealistic single guy ...but seriously, you want to meet a rich guys daughter who is ``fair`` and then you expect her to act like a 1920`s slave girl around you? whats with that? I dont get the sense that you are a racist chauvanist elitest bastard but these things kind of suggest you might be - Just bad bad bad things to say man, learn to self censor. And good luck.

Muslims already have that device. Its called the `Suicide` belt. In fact, this device can
take several ppl to their destination, even if only one is wearing it.

Contact peemax`s wife. she wears one around !

PS: I hope everyone in your species wear (and use) it, as long as you are within your borders !

I beg to differ with your kind and gentle advice to the writer of this funny piece. In my humble opinion, the writer needs to actively date and not rely on marriage. Even in this funny piece, he is not looking to hit the jackpot in one travel episode. He intends to EXPLORE the world. The very concept of exploration has different nuances. Perhaps I missed his intention in this piece and you were able to gauge the writer`s pulse. Quite possible :)

Ibrahim - Probably, you should look into pursuing a career in airline industry. I am sure you will get an opportunity to assist the damsels in distress, the bold, the cunning, the clever and the shrewd ones. Just a thought. Something to look into :)

Loser.

Missing those shy girls ? Huh ? The ones people like you (mentally retarded, backward, ``admirers of so called bloody ``eastern`` values``) want for concubines cum cooks cum maids i.e WIVES.....free of cost. Sorry...they are gone...gone...gone. Now these ``bold`` ones are here to slap you across the face every now and then.

Repulsive male chauvinist swines.

The behavior described here is extremely common against Pakistani men...Wherever they go why is there so much yearning to interact with the opposite sex?
And why disappointed over the dearth of shy girls and increase in the number of confident females???Maybe because the confident lady can tell you where you are wrong or if you are staring at her she`ll give you a look that would make you uncomfortable and you would think twice about staring at a lady again. And here I am not refering to the women, either bold or shy, who would positively respond to your advancement whether covertly or in an upfront manner...these belong to a completely different category

#3 here comes another desi gawking women on airports.:)
BTW there was a study few years ago that airports are great place for people to meet and pickup dates. It found that on airports lot of relationships conclude, say by bye, or lot of people feel griefed or relieved at the departure of someone special as a result airport bars are a good place to meet desperate or horny people who want to have a good time before the flight returns.:)

Dear Ibrahim, I guess it’s time for you to find a wife, and see how fast the pig’s wings are chopped.

Funny stuff.
