En Route Zurich


24th nov night 2345 Hrs , the horror begins , I get off at the New Delhi airport, on my way to Zurich for a conference. Its himanshu and me who are leaving for the same, and we were quite excited about the entire excursion we had planned, but it all came to a standstill as soon as we found that we had no other option , but to fly Aeroflot . Honestly I had no idea about the aircraft, just that I had heard a lot of unpleasant stories about flyin that aircraft. I didn’t know what the fuss was all about , like come on man, it’s a russian airline, so what, did everyone forget that it was russia who were the first ones to introduce thrust vectoring in to their Sukhoi's, something which the american's, british and the israeli's could only dream of doing. They provided the chief aeronautical intelligence to put the long forgotten MIR, space station in place, which took off way before the international space station. So come on man, I actually never doubted the capabilities of the rooski's in keeping their feet of the ground as long as their budgets didn’t go for a toss. Now even after knowing this , dammit, I was still skeptical, I felt stupid , feelin this way .. But hey come on … even satan's afraid of saddam isnt he…. So here we were at the check in… now get this … I go to check in .. And from where I'm standin I can c this homely indian bloake, blood shot eyes, fixin his glasses, which he wasn’t wearing and writing on a piece of paper, without a pen …. He looks up at me and asks me what I'm here for, and before anything, a wave hits me , no not the ones of realization but a gust of air, intoxicating, alcohol induced , gust of wind in my face…. I almost ducked but then I realised I would have looked stupid …. I stopped breathin … I handed him the documents and surprisingly enough I had a boarding pass in a minute … I scurried away … a relieved man…. Himanshu managed to get manhandled by the security for carrying a hand baggage which was bigger than what mr.tenzing norgay , was carrying while he scaled the mt.everest, and here our mr.jakhar had gone overboard on the news of its cold there…..
0200 Hrs 25th Nov 06, time to feel the horror, its time to board the russian lady to moscow … we are on our way, take off was a bit shaky, but then, hey it all fits in ... There was a big russian sports delegation going back , all in red white, making fun of each other, which was fun for a while to watch but then they were not that good lookin … woke up at moscow … just before landing…now get this…and I aint making this up …. We land ..and suddenly the aircraft erupts .. Into CLAPS !!! .. Yes… everyone is clapping…. Man…I guess the stories were true…. The horror ends … :)

I started this blog some year and a half back, I don’t know why cause, it was kinda new and it sounded cool .. And I had to go around sayin that even I had one…yea I know very mature …. :p … then I opened it again around a month back and I had postings from random ppl inviting me to some underground racist clubs and fantasy islands … so had to do a clean up and thought that I should take it seriously… so here I am after a year and a half of getting more mature (I hope so) and a lot of more experiences….. Its actually quite exciting as I will be travelling in the coming week and will write again from there… as I will have more to tell .. Ciao … till then...
(oh I wrote all this a wile back but am posting this now, as I forgot bout it)
