11:30 am..
I've been packing for a week now. Strangely the list of things to pack keeps growing longer as the d day comes closer. I've even been shopping until the last minute
1:30 pm
Lunchtime.. and somehow I don't feel hungry. Well, you wouldn't understand why I was mentioning this unless you were me. I am perpetually hungry. But today it was difficult to eat more than a few morsels.. It was the first time I was gonna live away from home.. This would probably be the last time I would eat here for months to come.. but still, I was not hungry. To top it I was seized by a panic attack every few minutes. I would feel there was still something left to be packed. Actually, I had packed in everything, right from the dry coconuts for my manager to all my clothes.
4:30 Pm
Time to leave, the cab was there. Me, mom n parvez filed into the cab and we started off to the airport. The whole neighborhood stopped to watch us load the luggage into the car. I wonder if they thought I got married and was leaving for my in laws place.
5:00 pm
Stopped at the ATM to draw a Lil money for the journey ( i call 4k a Lil money.. very funny). well then we stopped at the hospital where mom had to go. (my aunts admitted there) and from there we headed straight to the airport, somehow wasn't very excited abt reaching the airport.. was more worried. We checked in quite easily even though we had excess baggage.. We had 7 kilos extra (luggage) between the both of us.
7:00
I love shamshabad airport.. It's clean, huge and simply amazing. I've seen a couple of other airports but i just love this airport. We sat down to eat an early dinner of chicken biryani and masala dosa.. and that cost us a bomb. Soon we boarded the flight to Delhi(jet airways) . The last time i traveled by jet, they had a little monitor on every seat where we could watch movies\songs\cartoons of our choice or play some games.. this plane did not have those.. to top it there was an extremely noisy kid next to us. Thankfully, the plane was relatively empty so we could manage to get seats at the back (I'd prefer sitting next to the washroom to noisy kids). Finally it was time for food.. a juice and a little rice with dal and palak chicken (YUCK)!!!! I never expected such horrible food from jet. but I must say, the guys in the crew looked great.
10:00
After a flight of two hours reached Delhi. The plane Taxied for a looong time and finally stopped. We got down and got into a bus which took us to the terminal. We had to wait to collect our baggage. We took a taxi and started for kalkaji guest house. We got rooms on the first floor (Thankfully). and that was the beginning of my journey to this city.
