Control Center: Hold on!! Hold On!!First let me inform you something. As per revised directive before we give you clearance to land you need to answer the question that we are going to send.

Here we go please answer it.

The length s of the arc of a curve y = f(x) from x = a to x = b is given by:

Find the length of the curve y = ln (cos x) from x = 0 to

Captain Avinash: What the hell is this ?

Control room: ohhh.. Don't you know what integration differentiation is? Don’t tell us you cannot solve this problem.

Captain Avinash: How can I solve it now and what it has to do with landing?

Control room: Why?? Why you can't solve it ? Have you not passed 12^th standard with 95 marks in math? At least that’s what your certificate says!

Captain Avinash: Yaa!! but it has been 12 years now. I don’t remember it now.

Control room: Ahhh You don't remember or you don't know how to solve it.

Captain Avinash: God damn!! OK I don't know. Please give me clearance to land.

Control room: Sorry Captain Avinash as you accepted you can't solve it so now let me tell you something important, because you were not able to answer it we have confirmed that certificate that you have submitted for pilot license was fake. 

Captain Avinash: Bloody hell !! Are you mad?

Control room: Is co-pilot able to solve it?

Captain Avinash: He doesn't even remember what integration is.

Control room: ohhhh in that case his certificate was also fake!!

Captain Avinash: ohh You fool.Is this time to talk all these shits.If you want to ask something then why don't you ask about aviation. 

Control room: We don’t have such instruction.

Captain Avinash: Ok!! For god sake tell me what you want me to do now?

Control room: We don't know!! We don't have any instruction in the case where pilot is not able to answer. We have to contact head office now so till the next instruction is given just circle around.

After 10 min

Control room:  Hello Captain Avinash IC131.

Captain Avinash: Yes

Control room:  I am afraid but your pilot licence has been cancelled.  

Avinash: WTF!!! What are you saying, it's bullshit. What should I do now?

Control room:  We don't know. We don't have any instruction. Let us contact head office again.


After 10 min

Control room:  We are giving you clearance just land the flight safely. 

There was no response..

Control room: Hello Captain Avinash IC131.We are giving you clearance to land. Please land immediately.

 Avinash: I don’t know how to land!!

Control room:  You must be kidding. We know you are flying for last 5 years.

Avinash: I have fake certificate.  I don’t have licence to fly then how can you expect me to know how to land. I think this flight is going to crash today

 Control room:  You cannot do like this. For god’s sake think of passenger in flight

It’s just technically you don’t have pilot license but you have controls and you know how to fly.

Avinash: Ohh so you are saying technically I am not authorized to fly but I have control of this flight and so many lives. Soooo don’t you think technically this flight has been hijacked.

Control room: No , You cannot do this. It’s an order!! land immediately

Avinash: Do you think now I am authorized to take your orders?

Control room raised alarm Flight IC131 hijacked!!!

Control room: OK you moron!!  What are your demands?

Avinash: My demand !!

When I was kid every time a plane flies over my house I run out and watch it in the sky . I had a dream, that one day I’ll also fly. I might have failed to learn complex mathematical equations but I know a great deal about aviation. If I land today I know you are not going to allow me to fly again so I don’t want to land I want to fly

My comments: Its irony of our system where certain skill based professions also require to obtain eligibility stamp
