It is different.......

on the sub continent.

Step 1 when receiving a TA/RA: Remove all newspapers from windshield and side windows.
Step 2: Adjust your eyesight while trying to locate the threat in the sudden white light. Locate your sunglasses (on top of your head).
Step 3: Gain manual control of the aircraft after AP was inadvertently disconnected when stick pushed during newspaper removal.
Step 4: Try to figure out what the TCAS wants you to do amid all the screaming and yelling on the R/T. Increase Climb/Descent opposite to ATC orders.
Step 5: Recover from the unusual attitude.
Step 6: Praise your imaginary savior that once again (w/o any adequate action on your part) an incident did not become an accident.

When on ground: Proudly tell everyone that Indian aviation is the safest in the world - we all made it, didnīt we?

Even firm atheists will turn religious after flying some time on the sub continent. Nothing but divine intervention can explain the lack of rocketing accident rates
