All of a sudden every thing got decided, and i had to attend the Meeting with MTNL people at Delhi..I had a affinity towards Delhi, as it is my Birth place.. I got my ticket on Wednesday evening 5:45pm, My Manager took the pain (paints) to book the ticket for me..... Also, i have few other technical issues to be sorted out before i start my packing for the trip, as it will be discussed as the part of Meeting agenda...... I finished all my work at 8:30pm and thought of leaving the office. Then Sreelesh(my Colleague) came and reminded me about the Formal dress code for the meeting... I was taken aback, because i don't even have formal Shoes, i cannot manage with my Adidas sports shoe for the official Meeting... I started running towards the shoe shop and purchased a formal cut-shoe branded Lee-Hooper(a costly one :-(, as i didn't have option to look for more shops, it was already 9:30pm).... Finally i reached my home and had my dinner, Idly and Takali Chatni(yammmmi). Whenever i write about my food, My dear dear lvly Mom needs a special mention, She cooks anything and everything delicious.. I'll never control my food intake if my Mom is my chef. Okay coming back to the journey, i read info about our company AdventNet, once when i opened the 'About Us' page in our www.adventnet.com website to know more about my company's berth's and depths... I was shocked to see the Mahathma Gandhi Quote and refund form welcomed me with smile(please refer )... I got pissed off and some how found the required information from the hidden(literally) PDF doc. Preparation got over and I checked the flight timings it was 6:45A.M, i set the alarm for 4:00AM, called & booked the Taxi to airport and went to sleep.. I didn't get a good sleep, may be tensed a bit, not sure....
Just before the Dawn, i woke up and saw my Mom sitting in the chair.. She seldom sleeps well, as every one says she is at her second child phase(old age), .. she sleeps in the morning and stays awake in the nights. Had bath and dressed-up with my only available formal dress and new Shoes :-)..... I reached the airport at 5:30AM and got the boarding pass and passed the security check... As this was my first flight journey after my childhood(Kinder-garden-hood), was a bit exited and didn't want to show to others that Im traveling for the first time.. Hence happily wandered around the boarding place and went for boarding into AirIndia flight at 6:15AM. I was taken from the airport to the flight with the help of a Bus(I cannot hold my criticism on that bus.. Simply It s**ks). Got the window seat and flight took off at the scheduled timings, my ears got little pain due to the pressure, but i left it unnoticed, as i was concentrating outside the window. It was a pleasant experience, i was taken just above the clouds,flew over the Bay Of Bengal for a while and then the flight reached the exact latitude.. Food was served by the AirHostes Aunty >:o (dont forget Im traveling in AirIndia.. Thx for my Manager's seemliness). Food was good and free(i mentioned free, 'coz it was charged in my return journey). At 9:15Am, flight reached the Indira Gandhi airport. I cannot even compare the Toilets in the airport of Chennai and Delhi with the Koyembed bus stand at chennai, because the domestic terminals Toilet are maintained like hell..
It is worth a separate blog to pen down my experience in the Meeting ....
The Looooooong Meeting got over in the evening, actually i planed for some shopping 4 my Mom(believe me pa..) and site seeing in the evening.. Again thanks for my Manager for his kindness in booking return ticket at 7:00Pm itself. I reached the Airport at 5:45pm, I was spell bound by looking at the Airhostes of Kingfisher airline.. Sema Kickuma... Red color birds flew all over the airport terminal and made me to hang my tongue out .. Suddenly i remembered the Aunty experience that i had in the morning in AirIndia, at once i prayed at least there should be someone looking good(rather Spicy :-)) in the SpiceJet. My prayers didnt go in vain, i was happy to see one Chubby , yammmy Girl sitting next to me in the Flight .... It was a cool travel, but i got shocked once they announce d bread sandwich Rs.70, mango drink Rs.40 and all.. Taz when i realised the truth about the low cost airlines. They are reducing the ticket cost, hence charging for the rest. Chuk....... pass ..... got a announcement then to tighten my seat belts as the weather was bad, i could feel the Jerk . Its the end of the story.. Will write the rest once i reach my home, as my laptop is crying due to low battery. Finally reached my home
