Just received an e-mailer from Air Deccan, which is currently advertising flights @ Rs 99.
Out of curiosity I tabulated the ticket price for a flight to Goa.
The official fare for April 24th is Rs 99. Once you factor in the Fuel Surcharge NR(Rs 1,800), Tax- Passenger Service Fee (Rs 225) and Congestion Surcharge (Rs 150), the final amount is Rs 2,274. Oh, and there’s an insurance fee of Rs 99, too (wondering what is insured, exactly)!
On a different note, we have a new baby in the family. His name is Eric and he looks like his mum.
Turns out I am no good with traditional baby compliments. The last mummy I complimented misconstrued my calling her son a ‘a cute little mouse’, as an insult, just for a few seconds, though.
Is ok… I guess I offended this young mama by telling her that her baby (just several months old) was “chubby”. I thought that was a compliment as chubby babies are healthy and thriving. I chalk it up to this being her first child.
‘Mouse’ is a pretty accurate description of a child. They don’t bite but pee on all your clothes.
