The Snag

At 10:45 in the morning, I was already in Bangalore.

Not really. The plane hadn't moved. But in my head I was three meetings deep, downloading one concall after another, treating the flight as nothing more than a useful window to get reading done. The journey was just a corridor between where I sat and where I had decided to be.

Then the pilot came on. Some technical snag.

I did what most of us do with inconvenient news. I ignored it. Snags get fixed. Schedules hold. IndiGo, of all airlines, the one obsessed with being on time, would surely not let ninety minutes vanish on a taxiway.

But the announcements kept coming. The plane, already rolling toward the runway, stopped. Then it turned back. Then it just sat there while engineers climbed aboard the same machine that was supposed to carry me through the sky. And somewhere at the back of my mind, years of watching aircraft investigation documentaries started whispering. That quiet little catalogue of small ignored faults that later became headlines.

Ninety minutes passed. And then something I still can't fully explain moved in me. Not fear exactly. More like conviction. My friend and I stood up, and I asked the air hostess, politely, almost apologetically, to let us off. I had no reason I could name. My gut had simply stopped negotiating. We had no check-in baggage, so they allowed it. We walked back to the bus and sat down.

Twenty minutes later, from outside the plane now, we watched the entire flight get cancelled.

The next one was in the evening. I went home.

What stayed with me was this.

I had built my whole morning on the quiet assumption that I was in charge of how it would go. The meetings, the reading, the arrival time, all of it rested on one silent belief. The plane will fly because I need it to. But the plane did not care what I needed. One fault I couldn't even see dissolved the entire shape of my day in a moment.

We confuse our plans with control. They are not the same thing. Planning is arranging the few things we can actually touch. Control is a story we tell ourselves about everything else. The transcripts and the calendar were mine. The engine was not. The weather was not. The thousand small things sitting between intention and arrival never were.

And here is the strange part. The moment I finally let go of the plan, stood up, walked off, and accepted home instead of Bangalore, the whole thing resolved on its own, almost as if it had only been waiting for me to loosen my grip.

That gut feeling deserves some credit too. We are not as in control as we like to think, but we are also not powerless. Somewhere between total mastery and total helplessness sits the one real thing we own, which is how we respond. I could not fix the plane. I could choose to listen to that quiet voice, get up, and walk away.

In the larger scheme of things, I am very small. A passenger, not a pilot, of most of my life. The honest move is not to pretend otherwise. It is to plan lightly, hold loosely, and trust the instinct that tells you when to walk back to the bus.

The meetings waited. The morning did not go as planned. And I reached home oddly grateful, reminded of the one thing no calendar can ever teach me. I was never the one flying the plane.

We are just tiny cogs in grander scheme of things. Always be grateful to beauty of life 🙂

“All of you must have a say in politics, and if I don’t perform well, set me aside.”

Pawan Kalyan is the one and only politician with the courage to say this.
He's working hard for the people, and that's why he's courageous enough to say this.

Minister @DKShivakumar MLA’s are not our rulers. Govt runs for the citizens not MLA’s. Why are you favoring the MLA’s. When sports lovers have to pay for tickets why cannot these MLA’s? This is very very wrong. MLA’s are representatives in the House, not govt. only ministers are part of government and have executive power.
