Arushi in airplane cockpit

It was her ninth air travel and seventeenth plane she was boarding just after her fourth birthday celebration when my Arushi was invited to visit the cockpit of the plane and meet the pilots. While boarding the flight, as usual, she was excited and confident. She wanted to see how the plane looked like and was greeting all the officials on the way. After entering the plane, greetings were exchanged with the attendant and the attendant was flat with the cheerful smile and cute hello from my princess. But it was not Arushi who would just head towards the seats. Without giving any trouble to dad, she was trying to see and watch as much as she can when she peeped inside the cockpit from far. And this was the moment when she was invited to say hello to the captain. That's it; she was going to miss that chance. And after that visit, she came back and asked dad, "babaa, tumhi lahaan asataana tumhaalaa pan vimaachya driver ne bhetaayala bolawale hote kaa?"... so innocent!

Just for records....
