Young Ava decided to go to USA for some preaching. He was pretty excited as

this was his first time on board the Boeing 747. Ava could hardly contain his

excitement and nervousness at riding a jumbo jet for the very first time. In

fact, he was so giddy with excitement that he could barely contain himself. To

release tension caused by the nervousness, he starts running up and down the

aisle from seat to seat, with his shikha swaying in air, and his dhoti barely

on his body, happily chanting in a very loud voice,

 

"BOEING! BOEING! BOEING! BOEING!"

 

(unfortunately, it wasn't Mahamantra he was chanting)

 

Hearing the turmoil outside the cockpit, the pilot got up to see what's the

commotion about. When he saw the young lad going up and down the aisle shouting

at the top of his voice, the pilot got so angry that he screamed at Ava, "BE

SILENT!"

 

After the pilot tells off Ava, who stopped chanting and running, there is such

a deathly silence in the cabin that you could almost hear a pin drop. All eyes

of the passengers were at Ava who stood there looking all the more confused, as

if somebody just snatched a Mahasamosa from him. Instead of chastened by the

pilot's harsh order, he continued running down the aisle, this time chanting in

a loud voice,

 

"OEING ! OEING ! OEING ! OEING!"
