Return ticket to Bangalore

After postponing my travel to Bangalore( read INDIA) thrice, courtesy my manager's indecision or anxiety or rather revenue, it was finally decided that i will be traveling back on 8th October. As usual, our guys come up with new things on the last day...suddenly i was told that its my responsibility to collect work related gadgets, so had to go to office even though i was on leave.....then it was final hour shopping, fighting for i ternary...this is so common in IT industry.... well everything done i was waiting for Wednesday's morning to run away to INDIA to see my family....


Wednesday morning i was fresh, had bath early, wished my roomie gud luck and he wished me gud luck for my marriage( whichi am not sure whether it would happen at all).BTW i had booked car for carrying me n my luggage to the airport. i was waiting for 9AM when the car was supposed to come. he came at right time and then we left to XNA airport. our XNA - Bentonville airport is small so it does not need us to be too early for check ins even if we are doing international traveling. TO my fortunate linings, the Chicago flight was delayed by 1.5hrs , which was god sent thing. as such it was not going to make much diff because the waiting time at Chicago was earlier 6 hrs, which would reduce to 4.5hrs as i would have done that waiting thing here in Bentonville airport. I sat next to a old day. I always get fascinated by old women, by their charm, their wittiness and also their intelligence. THe intelligent lady next to me was PENTAGON officer's mother waiting to travel to Chicago and from there to Washington DC to baby sit her grand kids. Her dressing sense was marvellous. We both had a decent chat over US economy, politics, presidential election, INDo-US relation etc..that was a good chat...... whenever i get free time inbetween our chats, i used to call all my friends in US to tell that they are now safe as am moving to INDIA for vacation.... Called my parents in INDIA to say that my journey started....

At last our long delayed Chicago flight arrived, we left bentonville. It was mixed feelings for me. We reached Chicago, this was my 2nd visit in this year to the same place. last time i was here to see the downtown and also to meet Kalpu and Kiran.

then started my search for the terminal for the Frankfort bound plane. Here now i have to spend 4.5 hrs which i had spent by buying a lunch for me, then watching Gandhadha Gudi , Rajkumar's movie in the airport and then had coffee...At 6, we boarded our Flight towards Frankfort and my first ever visit rather just alighting in any country apart from INDIA and USA. Germany, the land where notorious Hitler was born. I really like his dare devil attitude but hate him for making humankind suffer for his fancies of Uni Gene population.

I was fortunate to sit next to a Canadian teenage girl, pretty they are. Our line was having people from different countries sitting next to each other...first there was an adventurous American lady, next to her was Pretty Canadian Teenager, me , a German man and then an African Lady. That was fun to talk to all of them, though did not go beyond a level to get their contact info.

8.5 hrs journey was as usual troublesome as i was excited to see my parents, irritated because i was not getting sleep. We reached the Frankfort airport. For the first time i saw how good Americans ( at least they act as if they are good ) were in treating ppl then Germans. The Airport officials were rude.Then after 2 hours, we started towards my country n hometown. Again 8 hrs journey..this time i had sit next to a kerala Lady doctor who was specialized with breath related diseases...again had a good chat with her...the flight was having considerable number of Kannada people, i was happy abt that...

i reached Bangalore, the airport was decent..i saw the SATYAM's FIFA advertisement...was happy again to see my company working n showing that we do matter in this industry....There was hassle free treatment of us except the wait time to collect the luggage. After that, coolly came through the Customs team. Met manju and puttamama who had come to pick me up from there...the roads towards airport was good, lot of road constructions were going on...at last i reached my hometown after 1.5yrs........... now again a normal old style life would start...search for life partner begins...which i am not liking...that's my journey back from US to Bangalore INDIA
