I was vexed up with the tension of not getting the ticket to go back home.
I spent two days visiting the online reservation site,agents and reservation counters but all in vain!But I knew I had go home for diwali...People all around me fed up and worried, that the last option on my mind was to travel by air...
It did seem costly for a while but then I thought, I had to go once!Very soon,My Air India ticket was booked.I was a bit nervous and a li'l scared for a while since I was all alone and it was for the first time I was going by flight.But anyways, I was excited more than feared :)
I went to the airport well in advance, and i had decided to take my luggage along with me...but the security staff found a medicine bottle which i was bringing foe my mom inside my bag. They asked me to either dump it there or get it sealed to send it into luggage..i was horrified as i thought it would be late if I go to do the whole process again..but anyways, I ran back and got it done and reached just on time.It was not even a second when there was an announcement. We were asked to go into the bus..that was a bus of big enough size but very few seats..so few that almost all had to stand :P.Within no time , I reached near the flight. When I saw it from such less distance I almost skipped a heartbeat as I never expected that this moment would come this quickly in my life with absolute no planning..
Anyways, I went and sat near the window seat.The plane took off almost 45 minutes later.I just loved the take off..I think I thoroughly enjoyed it! The plane moved above the whole of Juhu beach and I wanted to capture this moment in my eyes..it was truly awesome!
Then there were refreshments..I made sure that I vasoolofy all that i spent on the ticket :P
Meanwhile the plane travelled within the clouds and the sight was priceless!
Food was all good (pav bhaji,cutlet,sandwich & kheer) . When the plane was in the air for a while,I could'nt hear anything ...I could see everyone putting their fingers inside their ears...I couldnt stop smiling!But That was just for a short time...
Since It was only an hour journey,It was time to land very soon..When the plane touched the ground, I could imagine the speed of it while in air...gr8 speed!!!!!
I reached hyd in just 1 hour and the looooooooooooooooong journey by train had suddenly become so short..
The Shamshabad airport was all new for me..but it was soooo huge and good...
Finally I was at home...with all these stories to tell (Im repeting it for the hundreth time now :P)
All in all ..a short,teaching and a wonderful experience...i loved it!
I wish I could sit a litttttle longer....
But at the end of the day my dad was like...this is not going to happen again and again..so please book ur railway tickets well in advance......and I was like...mmmmmmmmmmm...lets see! ;)
