In response to the treatment meted out to the 12 passengers on the Northwestern Airlines, much has been written about 'racial discrimination' and 'people of certain communities being branded as terrorists'.
However, all I have to say is that - if these people did not follow the instructions to switch off their mobiles and remain in their seats while the flight is taking off, then they deserve the treatment. In fact, I have observed many Indians behaving in a boorish manner in flights - scrambling to get their baggage out of the overhead lockers as soon as the plane touches the ground, talking on the phones while the plane is taxiing to take off or land, loud conversations without bothering about the other people's wish for silence - the list is endless!
Next step - introduce similar 'disciplinary actions' in movie halls in India. I say, kick those idiots out (and place them in solitary confinement) who keep their cell phones on during movies, who talk to their neighbours loudly during the movie, who decide to get up out of their seats for a bathroom break in the middle of a movie etc etc.

You need to excuse those who've done a couple of pitchers of beer before the movie, please.
Hmm...you got a point there, Rhyncus. looking at some of the movies playing currently, you need to be drunk to actually enjoy them!
