In economics, its very easy to make a theory. Quite another to verify it and give it some credence.<BR/><BR/>Let me dig a bit deeper into the frequent flyer one since I feel more qualified on this one than others. Been some time since my economics degree and MBA but am still Platinum on jet, gold on KF and silver on Indian. I think there is corelation thats getting mistaken as causation<BR/><BR/>1. The frequent flyers are also the folks who have lunches and dinners outside. When hosting/being guest, one has to have the best food. Most of it happens to be high on calorie count<BR/>2. Most of the folks do have a sedantry life too! Many of the frequent flyers take the morning flight out and the evening one in. Where is the time to even jog? weekends usually go in catching up with sleep and friends and family.<BR/><BR/>As someone who has done more flights that I would care for,<BR/>1. I don't have 2 stomachs. If I have time, I'll have food before the flight - home, airport lounge etc. Allows me to do reading etc on the flights. Else plate stays in front of you for too long<BR/>2. Who cares if the airhostess is pretty?! Why will I eat if I'm not hungry?!Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251766278124498141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11051662.post-91236560624666384282008-02-27T08:32:00.000-08:002008-02-27T08:32:00.000-08:00Hahaha...

Maybe you can start a 'Chennai Pirated DVDs' outlet when you land on american soil. And when I was in Chennai I could not manage to buy good quality pirated DVDs at the same price as a good quality rental DVD from the shop. <BR/><BR/>That bit about the weight is so true because I know I have put on a kilo but someone i met today just commented that i have lost weight and i know that the comment was made 100% for the sake of conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11051662.post-16875570401384268372008-02-24T04:43:00.000-08:002008-02-24T04:43:00.000-08:00Hahaha... good one Vice Captain.I left out the pli...Hahaha... good one Vice Captain.<BR/><BR/>I left out the plight of the poor over Indian soul.<BR/><BR/>Kindred may be his soul!<BR/><BR/>May he find more Sardarjis who offer him free bus rides across all of the United Kingdom!Sudhir syalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660659195047639343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11051662.post-20586646963152699222008-02-23T08:20:00.000-08:002008-02-23T08:20:00.000-08:00dude, you never fail to disappoint.. i loved this ...dude, you never fail to disappoint.. i loved this post, ESPECIALLY the bit about being told youve lost weight and put on weight in the same party. happens to me all the time!<BR/>and the cigarette thing was flawless... <BR/>except i wouldnt say it was win-win - there are three parties involved and the poor customer is driven to desperate means such as begging all and sundry to bring him a carton of goldflake kings from india!Abhinavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059204081633062783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11051662.post-6678540403281064312008-02-22T23:44:00.000-08:002008-02-22T23:44:00.000-08:00Hi Shmuly,Thank you for coming over.

I'm confused whether the person who wrote the comment above is the same Sudhir Syal who wrote the original post.<BR/><BR/>One Sudhir confidently asked, "With Google.com, everybody can find out the answer, if they know the right question. Right?" The other Sudhir is philosophising on what parameters constitute the right question. Dai, villayata?<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry if you feel I didn't read your post deeply enough. I didn't see much depth in your arguments, which is why I frankly pointed it out.<BR/><BR/>Ah, what is this you say about insider information from the cigarette industry? Wow, now that sounds really deep :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, your post inspired me to go check a few facts for myself and I found this very interesting article from two years ago:<BR/><BR/>http://www.forbes.com/global/2006/0213/026A.html<BR/><BR/>So thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11051662.post-86458755925553887212008-02-20T23:31:00.000-08:002008-02-20T23:31:00.000-08:00Hi Syed,Thank you for your comment.
