Trip Home

It was a Friday! I love Friday anyways! It’s a day where we welcome Week end
Why that Friday was important. It was a day where I was planning to go to my home from New York. I was not quite sure whether I will come back to New York or will be in India for some time because of the recent visa crisis! I could have decided not to go so that I can stay in this great city for some more time. Is it that Important to stay at a place for some time, or to stay in a comfortable place for all the time in your life? Lots of people asked me, why you want to go now. It’s a bad time. Okay, Bad time!! Bad time gives us an opportunity!

Am an NRI now! As explained in Swades movie, Non Returning Indian. Why? Nobody explains why!They have a better job, better place to live, better place to eat, better place to hang out and get hell lots of money. Seems like a good reason!!

Who wants to follow Sharukh? Good question! Who ever wants to, can raise your hand and join me!

I checked in! Jet airways! Good flight with all the best possible features available. I said Awesome!

I landed in Mumbai 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. I had a stop over at Belgium. I did not mind to go out for a sight seeing. (It’s very difficult to get a tourist visa to Europe. I don’t know why .They don’t want money?J )

I met another NRI who was constantly complaining about the Airport, about India. I had some heated argument to make him understand that India is doing better and we will be there one day!

It was nice morning 5:45 flight from Mumbai to Cochin. I was yawning! I had coat on and people were looking at me. I did not know whats possibly was going in their mind. Are you a freak, wearing a coat on a hot summer day? I had my answer in mind, Guys it was snowing when I started! I was in emergency seat and this air hostess came over and she asked me permission to explain the evacuation procedure if we are in Emergency!. I listened! Yes. I did.I swear!

I had a wonderful breakfast in the flight! Idly and Sambar.I loved it! It was awesome! God Bless Jet Airways!

Happy to see parents! Mom’s sweet hug! Dad’s smile,shake hand and how are you doing son! I remembered Lufthansa’s advertisement..”All for this moment”!!
