The Trip - Part 3

All good things come to end and so did my trip. The return trip felt longer, the food was pathetic in the flight, the neighbors too and on top of all this, both my bags were opened on Mumbai Airport and Detroit Airport. I guess there were some security threats that day which led them to search people's bags randomly. One advice - don't wear a tshirt with a bacardi bottle printed right in the middle. That's provoking!

The Trip - Part 2

All went well so far and am enjoying my short 3-week trip in mumbai. I look back at my preparations and find that even with a few hiccups, like the Findley phenomenon or the Newegg mixup, the trip planning was total success. The feeling after I landed in Mumbai - A Complete Desi Experience! - the plane did not get the right terminal to park. So, it took a round and finally parked at the right terminal(I guess!). - once on the airport, I did not feel as if the Airport A/C was even working - I could not spot the "ugly" water fountain which pal n dsouza told me about. Probably, I'd look for it during my return trip. - a junior officer was helping a "madam" find her luggage. I figured out she must be so-and-so's wife getting a v.i.p. treatment. - my family got a nice (and shocking) surprise as I showed up without letting them know that I was coming. [Posted in IST]
