Missed your flight? Here is what to do

Recently I have not read something this hillarious. The narrative is simple. A software professional perceiving that he is to miss his flight, makes a hoax bomb call to delay the take-off. However, later he gets caught.

What really surprises me is that this guy is firstly a techie, secondly works in the reputed Infosys Technologies.

I sometimes wonder why global brands like Infosys hire such morons. The guy was traveling by train and was expected to reach the capital Delhi by 8.45 am to catch his flight to Bangalore.

Now, who doesnt know the fact that Indian trains, why even we Indians ourselves never maintain punctuality. So understandably the 25-year-old guy was to miss his flight. Knowing this he asks his airline agency to shift him to another airline which the agency refuses.

The man does the silliest next. Frustrated, he rings the same number and warns there is a bomb in the flight. The idea worked, the man hurriedly got off the train station, took a cab and rushed to the airport. It was the cops standing to welcome the foolish techie.

Not only is the name of Infosys debased but also its a shame to people in the tech industry. Can someone be this silly, he makes two calls at the same number and on the same issue. Any nitwit can know what you are up to. Missing his flight I think would have been better, as it would have saved him and the reputed Infosys from major embarrassment.

Next time before any of you do such silly, first formulate a credible plan, else never plan ;-) . A proverb goes like this: Even a thief takes ten years to learn his trade. So nothing is simple. If you are visiting families or friends, plan prior to when you can catch your flight and when you can reach your office. May be sometimes such bomb hoax calls can go unidentified. But mind you this dont work that easy in a foreign country. Better to weed out such nonsense before getting promoted to some moneymaking land.  Adios ~ SAM

    Not all airlines are like this. Some really shift you to other airlines. I also think what this man did is so cheap that Infosys will have no face. It is a sad thing that they hire such idiots who do things that shame the entire Indian community.
