Being flight hostess is not just being beautiful and serving ... Get your facts straight

Being a Flight Hostess is a dream job for all fashion freaks in the high school. Every girl once in her lifetime has imagined being that glamorous air hostess when she grows up. That fabulous Job seems to gives you everything you ever hoped for. Those crisp uniforms, prim and proper hairdo, the feeling of being the eye candy for so many guys plus the envy of other girls. This all comes in a big platter for the cool chic who does becomes a flight attendant right. All they have to do is have a bright welcoming smile, keep serving food and then a wave with a good bye. Yeah it's Not much to do but just to get your facts straight. Being into this business is not all about the glamour, it requires serious business, personal commitments and a few sacrifices. The life of a flight hostess is not easy. What goes behind the glamour is hidden from the public eye.

This all started for you with the thought of travelling, seeing different cities without incurring any expense of your own and looks like a lovely dream come true. But the reality is by the time you reach your destination, flying in weird times of the day and finish your flying hours because they pay you for the number of hours you fly not the whole day. All you need is a bed and some sleep. On top of it if you are migrating to far off countries so as a little extra perk comes in the adjustment of your body's biological clock which never gets in rhythm with the different time zones of the world. Once inside the flight there are many things that have to be taken care of, like unruly passengers, weird stares, illegitimate demands and to handle all this you are taught only one thing smile and be polite. It's not just serving beverages and collecting the money but also maintaining hygiene and cleanliness of the aircraft. so you have to be prepared to mop the shit from the sinks anytime.

Airlines also have different criteria for Uniform some may require short skinny skirts with high heels. and some even saris and they are pretty strict on these norms. Imagine yourself revealing your waist in a sari while putting up the luggage in the overhead bin or guys taking a stare at your legs, it does sound a little creepy. You have to manage all this plus be the glamorous eye candy the whole day with layers of compact on your face and a pair of painfully high heels for your leg. Being able to carry this skinny dress needs an hourglass figure so gone are the days where you can enjoy those yummy Parathas and butter chicken. It's now more of diet foods with less time for workouts. This nonstop journey of flights cuts you out from your friends and family. They stop considering your availability for plans as they know you work on rosters and not on weekends and weekdays.

Just to add a little cherry on the cake the career path itself is very short lived as it revolves around glamour and beauty which decreases with age. Be wise before being carried away by this industry and choose after getting your facts right

Colours bring the much needed vibrancy to our mundane lives. Imagine seeing the world through a black & white glass where the only difference between joy sorrow life and death would be a single shade differentiated by dark and light patterns. Colours bring joy to the yearning heart and for me it means the vibrancy that life is entitled to. Flowers have been the greatest source of inspiration for many people. The way they spread their petals and absorb and glow with more radiance with the morning dew is a mesmerising feeling. When the first ray of the sun touches the horizons of the earth that is when the shining web of colours start radiating, it feels the that the earth has been washed with a splashing plethora of beautiful mirages. Colours have a very latent effect on your feelings. bright colours make you chirpy and really happy. while subtle colours act as a soothing balm to an anxious heart.
