the joy of simple pleasures . . . poor Indian children board a plane for the first time . . .

this is an uplifting story about a group of Indian children from desperately poor families who traveled five hours by bus just to sit in a jetliner for the first time . . . since it's a disabled plane, they didn't go anywhere, but just the experience of boarding was something of a wonder for these kids . . . watching their faces helps bring a little perspective to our own lives and what we take for granted everyday, imo . . . enjoy! . . . :)

Awoken my sense of early childhood deprivation. I didn't board a plane until I was 20 something.
