Most of us haven’t taken a flight in months. As a result, some of us are missing the whole experience of packing for a trip, going to the airport, and even being on a flight (surprising but true). Amidst this reminiscence, IFS officer Praveen Angusamy’s tweet on the very first thing to do after boarding has struck a chord with desi Twitter.
He points out that while the rest of the world looks for their assigned seat and puts their hand baggage in the overhead cabins, Indians usually call their family before anything else.
What is the first thing one should do immediately after boarding a flight ?!
Rest of the world – Look for your seat & keep your luggage safe.
INDIA – Call your mom & let her know that you are "safe". Other things can wait.#justindianthings— Praveen Angusamy, IFS 🐾 (@PraveenIFShere) October 18, 2020
Many people agreed and shared their own habit of keeping their families informed at all times.
Absolutely correct sir… 👏👏👏
This is must in India, for Mom and Dad😍— Sravani (@sravani950570) October 18, 2020

Yes.. she is always priority.. When I was in University, everyday it grew dark till I reached home because it was 20 km away from my home.. and when at 7pm my phone rang, I knew it’s Maa..
I met with accidents 2 times, & I prayed I can bear it, God please give strength to Maa..— Upasana Sharma (@Upasana62545321) October 18, 2020
Even that is not needed.
She keeps calling every 2 min.😂😂— deepi (@Deepu_deeps12) October 18, 2020

Others replied with other things desi folk like to do like taking all the welcome candies and immediately standing in the aisle after landing.
Go to washroom🤣

And the first thing to do up on landing, Stand at aisle with luggage as if it’s a bus which will stop only for few mins and conductor will whistle to take off for next airport.
