A day came.. I was waiting for long time... not because I wanted it to come.. but because I knew that there was no turning back... and it had to come...
I was going to travel abroad.. for the first time in my life..
Not really the 'utmost' exciting thing as I can realize it now when I look back..
But definitely, a very happy moment(for inner side in us) and a proud moment(for outer side "around" us.. :P)
After many rounds of packing and unpacking and re-packing sessions, I decided to continue with my fate for the probable rejection on weight limit....(I had almost imagined that I would either cry and beg the authorities on airport to let me continue with all the baggage, or else I would sit, open my bags, and then remove the "not really extra" material and then cry and beg again to authorities to let me continue with all the baggage.. :P) Ultimately.. I wanted to carry all the things I had packed with so much efforts.. :( :P
But.. as you see.. the more we think on anything.. lesser are the chances of things happening.. I didn't even had a chance to think and fear..forget begging.. :P and my baggage was accepted although it exceeded the limit by 3 Kgs... Sometimes.. yessss...lucky me.. :P (still remember the smile on Security Personnel whom I asked twice after minutes time gap that.. "is this 'check-in' really done?.. and the bags which went inside from a conveyor belt wont come back??and I can tell my parents to start their journey back??") :P I was really scared of unnecessary thoughts you know..
Anyways..my first exam was clear.. and then I started waiting for my husband's frnd who was supposed to join me after his arrival from connecting domestic flight.. This was again a tough time.. as I had never seen him in person.. and ..and... I was carrying another bag of 5-6 Kgs to put into his bag and that was apart from my cabin bag.. :P .. so if he would not come.. I had to..leave(donate) my bag and stuff inside .. :(
But then.. after a fearful 1 hour.. he came.. and my another tension was relieved..:)
Then on.. it was really a fun..
I saw the most gorgeous, intelligent and newly wedded actress Vidya Balan on same immigration queue.. That made my night.. ;) And then.. the beautiful, classy, full of lights ambiance of Sahara International Airport which made my upcoming day.. :P
Lovely.. it was indeed pleasure reading through.. realised how you would have felt through the entire journey..although being on call, i know much more would have happened.. :)
