My father had some urgent business at Jaipur. He wanted to reach there soon. So he decided to go by an aeroplane. He wanted to take me along. We packed a small bag and went to the airport.

There were a number of aeroplanes at the airport. Many people had come to see off their relatives and friends. We entered the aeroplane. This was my first experience of travelling by air.

The aeroplane took off into the air. It flew higher and higher. I felt a little giddy. I looked out through the window. Everything looked very small. Very big trees looked very small. Huge buildings looked like small huts; the big river looked like a snake.

Now Jaipur was in sight. The aeroplane started flying down. It landed at Jaipur airport. We thanked God that we had landed safely. It was one of the most memorable journeys I ever had in my life.
