Germany , Airport and Me
I have been thinking what I shoudl be writing these days. I can pen all the things happening here and everyone would love it. I am a sadist. I don't want people to enjoy. :P Sorry, I was joking. I will put in more hours on this.
I have always admired the Germans and the Russians. Whom do I hate? Secret to be revealed. :) I took the German carrier. They have huge aircrafts compared to other aircrafts. Economy travel is made pleasant with the plush interiors. They also play good music and have a host of radio selections. There was even a Tamil channel.
Can you belive this? I am hearing to Sweet Home Alabama on the computer and I hear the same song blaring out on the radio. Thats a coincidence.. Love such things happening. yippie! Oopsie back to the carrier.
I settled in the aisle seat. It was dark. I was tired. I had narrowly made it to the airport. Do yu want to hear the story? OK here it goes.
I had been doing all the last day preparation of packing and buying stuff. In this confusion, spectacles was misplaced. They had been left in a shop. There were spare ones. I quickly had a bath at 4 30pm. My flight was at 7 pm I think I need to check out the plane timings. I had to leave by 5pm. But, lot of confusions and we were leavin by 5 30. I was driving my car and i made a decisoin that I will get the spectacles. I was putting so many people in trouble. I knew it and still I took the risk. I wonder why I take such risks.
So, I got the spectacles and made a dash towards the airport. I took the ring road from Koramangala. I thought its the quickest way to the airport and I would be there in a span of 1 mins. I got a shock seeing a diversion towards Domlur. I thought, it wouldnt take much time. I reached the Domlur ShantiSagar and lo the traffic stoppped moving. I waited. My parents waited. I was patient. I was a lil' concerned but was confident that if i started moving, I will take down all the vehicles on the road. That's confidence eh? Yeah. I waited for half an hour. I got nervous. I got out of the car . I took a few breaths of fresh air. Everyone had enough of this pit stop. I returned back and the next moment I saw some red lights flashing. I faintly heard some people saying that there our former CM was on his way back home. So, much for our convenience. HIgh time they got a copter for the VIPs. The line of vehicles started moving. I quickly changed gears and drove like a rally driver. I made it to the airport in 5 mins from Domlur with all the traffic around. I got out of the car. I asked my dad to park the vehicle coz i didnt want to miss the plane. I saw many of my friends waiting. I was dazed and lot nervous. I just gave a smile. I just managed to glance at my friends. I didnt even get time to say a goood bye to my parents and other loved ones. I have to curb my instincts at times and have to think about otehrs as well. Next time, I will do that and take the Mg Road. How's that ? Gotcha you right haha. Thats me.
There are some people who really got things goign whilst in the airport. Normally I dont take names. But then, I have to. One is Sudip for his excellent presence of mind asking us to check in baggages. How can i leave my mama? He is alwys dependable. He always gets it right. I am just lucky enough to have him so close. And lastly my lovely wife who is already bearing me for all the confusions i put her in.
I am thankful to all the people who made it to the airport. I hope they read this some time in the future. Others too got me on phone. I also had swithced phones whilke i was driving. hence, I coudlnt talk to people who called.
So, I walked and got the boarding pass. Two of us were the last people boarding the plane. The plane was packed. I got a seat beside a big assed guy and a gentleman who was not that big. All the things that happened that day just played ni front of my eyes. I heaved a sigh of relief and drank the juice served.
We made it to Chennai and waited for 2 hours to take the flight to Frankfurt. I boarded Lufthansa at 1 30 am and I quickly fell asleep. I woke up and found a water bottle on my tummy. It was all dark and some people were making it at the back. I too went to get some juice. And hell, what do I see there? No,, dirty fellas I didnt see any skin. I saw two bottles of wine: White and red. I got my juice and didnt even look at the two bottles. I returned back and rued my chance. How I wished I coudl finish the whole bottle!! OK , let me get some skin in to the aircraft. Lufthansa from India have very pretty air hostesses. There always will be one air hostess who will be over the top kind. And, she will never serve me. This is bad. Yes, I knwo I am married. I aint asking her for a date. I just want her to serve me. Wifey if you read this, i wrote this only to add spice.
I had another nap and breakfast was served. I liked it. In the next 10 mins we heard that we were landing at Frankfurt. We landed. I still love King Fisher for their landing. They have the smoothest landing. *not that I am a frequent flier * I came out of the aircraft to board a bus. A small breeze just caressed. I loved it. After 8 hours of travel, even the coldest fresh air is heaven. It was 3 degree celsius. It was cold. We were at the transit in Frankfurt. We rached there at 7 30 am and had to wait till 1 30 pm. Frankfurt doesnt have enough seats for passengers waiting for the aircraft. I coudl see many ppl squatting on floor. Some were sleeping too. I said India and the world over are the same. When the need comes, everyone needs to kiss the earth with their a***. The wait was killing me. I hate to sleep and i took a few walks all around the terminal. I also solved 4 Sudoku. Then after a long wait, it was 12 noon. That wsa the time to enter the gates. And another Lufthansa to catch for another 8 hours. Yippie i said lets do it again. This flight had the worst airhostesses you can find. All were very old. I thiink I sle[pt the whole journey. As we were nearing our destination *which is a secret*, we got a message from the pilot saying its very busy and he has to circle round to get his time to land. I just saw out and saw huge clouds. Clouds that were thick and rain bearing were all aroudn us. The aircraft rocked. It moved up and down. I coudl see some people taking out he paper buckets to gather some stuff. I said to myself, if i am no more its hte best way to die. Dependents alwyas get huge sums for the air tragedy. It was a scary moment when the aircraft was rocking. But somehow we landed and there was a cheer of joy in everyones faces. Wow1 i said were we so close to danger? I wouldnt know. Only our pilot and the black box woudl tell the real story.
Thats the end now. I am feeling lkot sleepy. I am not geting the flow right. Eeek. I hope to improve.
