i flew!!!!!

Right!!!!! first of all....got really lucky to get such an opportunity......got thru the interviews and stuff...got meself a L1 and finally flew out to San diego :)

Its a really good experience.......flying back in time..literally...sitting in a cramped up place....unable to stretch legs...unable to stretch arms.....though had the most adjustable seatmates(??)....weaving around and dodging my arms whenever i stretched out...

wooweeee!!! the queue for the toilet was fun....too many ppl...and the sad part was that all had to go at the same time :D
for a guy of my size and structure fitting into the toilet was the best part :D...what happened inside was a real stress reliever....

hmmmm..the food provided on the plane..say vegetarian....and you are served panerr butte masala and biryaani..right...like anyone can eat that....though the energy bars and the chocolate and the curds provided was good...and the airhostesses were kind enough to provide water from time to time...and you could walk up to the end of the plane to get urself a glass anytime :)

alcohol was also available...but cost $5 a glass.......

best part of the flight was the in seat entertainment......i got my own ear phones and got to watch dhoom 2, shrek 3 (thrice), and surf's up.....also watched simpsons...man that ws good entertainment........watch that LCD screen...take a nap...drink water...thats pretty much what was done for the entire 15 hrs.....

the best part of course was before i got into the flight.....got this young female questioning me about some immigration stuff......yeah i guess she was employed there......man i was all sweaty lugging my heavy luggage around......(yeah yeah...myself too)...and this woman starts questionin all nonsense...who packed ur bags?? when? how? did u accept anything from anyone in the airport? why are u going to US? why cant you work from here? are you alone right now? (riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..like i was the only feller in the entire airport at that point of time...never mind)
i guess she was doing her job...and i well trying to clear the immigration stuff...had my check-in luggage searched twice......man..those buggers kinda seem to relish this stuff......and then after the baggage search.they wear them gloves and say "sir..now i am gona frisk you"........right!!! like i would enjoy a uniformed man with a mushtache running his hands.......oooooooook i will stop it here...if it was a girl..then maybe things would have been a little more interesting.....

the whole time being on the phone..with either dad or mom or sister or a special someone....it was fun......also having ur uncles call up and wish you ATB just before I boarded the flight...that was fun...

though the most treasured phone conversations of that day will have to be
1. my high school teacher callin me up
2. my girlfriend callin up just before the plane took off
3. amma and appa saying bye one final time before i lost network

the entire day was a thoda bhaaga bhaaga sa kinda day.......and the aeroplane journey well was indeed one of a kind.....
