King of good times hits the sky!!


The sky is the limit for the UB Group chairman Vijay Mallya who launched his Kingfisher Airlines on 7th May, which incidentally was his son's 18th B'day.

India's very own Richard Branson, Vijay Mallya has a history of doing everything in style. According to an official press release, the launch ceremony took place at the Air India hanger in Mumbai in the presence of many Page 3 celebrities, corporate bigwigs, political honchos and stars.

According to the co., Kingfisher Airlines offers in-flight entertainment for each individual flyer, scantily clad models as air hostesses! (even heard that Yana Gupta will be there to delight the "customers" on some flights), along with great service and all this at a budge price like that of Deccan Airways... Woof!! What else can one ask for!

Here are some pics from the ceremony - Mallya with Ministers and Air hosstesses; Mallya with his Son; Inside the aircraft

PS: Looking at a broad picture, I really feel this doesn't make business sense for a budge airlines. Hope this won't turn out to be another NEPC or Modiluft Airlines!!

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
