Day before yesterday I had my first flight experience. I forgot my fear as we suddenly took off into the air and I could see the lighted city below; but then suddenly, I found it difficult to breathe,and felt giddy. My hands began getting stiff and I thought I will faint. I wanted to shout 'BRING THE PLANE DOWN!' (quite like in the movie where Kajol shouts and forces the plane to land) I don't know if it was just a matter of air-sickness or it was further spiced up by some kind of a panic attack. I was given some hot drink.
I had the experience again as the plane started to descend and I also puked. When we finally got down from the plane, I felt the same as I do when I come out of water after a long swim.
But thinking back I felt that the residual feel of having suddenly lost control of my body is a THRILL.
The experience of - "Wow! Even when 'I' am fine; my body can go SUDDENLY and totally berserk." It was really something to know that there can be 'mechanical malfunctions' due to sudden environmental change, though 'I' was fine despite the changed environment and was initially totally lost in the scene below!
So what I think about being sick is that " actually 'I' am never really sick, even though the body can malfunction and get sick"! but of course, I did let it affect me in a way that I forgot the view and was totally concerned about getting the body back in control. Once I got down from the plane I regretted not having watched how the sea looked!!!!

So yeah. Letting air-sickness hijack the whole trip was not so fine. Good that there is a next time, and we can work things out yet.

Thats a new experience.
Superb!!!!! I liked the way how you expressed your feelings...... will ask Biju chettan to take you for more flights...... :)
I'm glad that you did not scream out like what they did in the movie :)
I think it's quite normal to feel scared when taking a flight for the first time.
And btw, thank you so much for prompting me to install the Followers gadget in my blog. I felt a bit silly not to have it all the while :)
Thanks for visiting AND u are welcome. :)
