In September last, my father went to Delhi from Allahabad by a plane. My father is an M.P. He had to attend the meetings of the Parliament. I requested him to take me along with him. He endorsed. I was very much pleased.
Our seats had already been reserved. We went in a car to the aerodrome in the morning. I saw a number of air planes there. Our aeroplane just landed to the ground. People got down from it.
Our luggage was kept in the plane. We entered in. I wondered to see the interiors. I had always seen a plane from distance earlier. I never thought that it was so big. The plane was standing on its wheels. It has two large wings. There were cushioned seats inside. There were windows and also holes at the floor to see through. We took our seats. Just at 8’ o clock the pilot started the engine. The plane began to take off from the ground. It left the ground. It rose higher and higher. I was filled with joy as well as fear. I looked down through the windows. I saw towns, villages, trees and fields passing below. The houses and trees looked very small. The men and animals looked like small dots. The wind was roaring and our plane was flying at the rate of 400 kilometres an hour. Though it was hot on the land, but it was cool in the air.
I asked my father some questions about the plane. My father gave short answers. But one of the passengers knew all about machines. He saw my curiosity. He explained me everything in detail. I was pleased to know so many new things about the plane.
Our plane did not stop at any place like train. Very soon large buildings came into my sight. I asked my father what that city was. I was surprised to know that it was Delhi. I had never expected to reach Delhi so soon. In a few minutes the plane began to take rounds. Very soon it landed on the ground. We reached Delhi in two hours. I got down. I saw Indira Gandhi airport. It is very big. I was very happy.
