Pilot Recites Poetry Mid-Flight!
30 Aug
Summary
- Pilot recited a popular couplet by Majrooh Sultanpuri mid-flight.
- The poem focused on the journey of finding companions.
- Passengers appreciated the pilot's creative and memorable announcement.
An IndiGo pilot recently provided passengers with a memorable experience during a flight approaching Kolkata. Instead of a standard pre-landing announcement, the pilot decided to recite a well-known couplet by the poet Majrooh Sultanpuri.
The pilot informed passengers about the flight's proximity to Kolkata, the outside temperature, and the expected landing time. Just as the announcement concluded, he offered to recite a "sher" (couplet) for the passengers' enjoyment.
He then recited the lines: "Main akela hi chala tha jaanib-e-manzil magar, Log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya." This poetry, symbolizing a solitary journey that gains companionship, added a warm and unique touch to the flight's conclusion.
Following the recitation, the pilot reverted to standard procedures, thanking passengers and instructing the cabin crew to prepare for arrival. A passenger shared a video of the event, which garnered appreciation online for the pilot's distinctive approach. IndiGo's official social media acknowledged the positive feedback, thanking the passenger for her kind words.
