You may have come across a talkative taxi driver, but a talkative pilot? On yesterday's Indigo flight from Trivandrum to Mumbai, Capt. Subhash Patil stepped out of the cockpit into the centre of the aisle, took the mic and took over the duties of the air-hostess. He greeted the passengers with the customary airline welcome, and then, surprise, surprise, he recited a poem he had written in which try rhymed with fly and sky. That was not all. After we were in the skies, he wielded the mic again for the customary cockpit address. In 4 languages. Malayalam, Marathi, Hindi and English. Later on, he pointed out Matheran, the racecourse and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. And promised to meet us again when we disembarked. As we went past him at the door, the lady in front of me gushed at him, "You are the best commander I've ever flown with." I'm surprised there isn't a Facebook fan page for him.
