The flight to Chennai is a bit
bumpy as our pilot skirts the turbulence around the incipient monsoon
being born in the Bay of Bengal. I find myself sitting next to Prapanna
and he strongly recommends that I watch the movie "Pirates of the
Caribbean," which he's already seen at a movie theater in California
and liked so much that he's decided to watch it again on the Singapore
Airlines screen. It turns out to be a great movie, with special effects
so smooth that the great sea battle scenes between the pirate ships and
those of the British fleet seem totally real. And Johnny Depp's
performance as the ironic pirate who has lost his ship to his sneaky
first mate is top notch and hilarious. It's a great way to pass the
time as we fly through the night toward India.
