The journey started on 5th Feb - I woke up @ 10.00 a.m in the morning as usual like any other saturday as IT professional does and also didnt have the feeling that I am going to abroad today.
Believe me.
My parents came to my place one week back , to set things up and right for me. probably, because of which, I felt like I am not going to abroad and they made my life easier.
The one week when my parents was there, went like a bullet train , as it was precious times that I spent with my parents.
I always, came @ 9.30 or 10.30 in the night in the last week, and though it was sound sleeping time for my parents,but still, they were awake to give me company, all because of this day in my life.
Yes, Feb 5th, the day where I am kick starting my abroad trips. This is my first abroad trip and I was feeling the excitement after some time.
It was all set , and myself and my father weighed the suit case bag for almost 5 times, so that , I will not end up paying penalty for extra weight in the flight.
Honestly,still I was not that excited to go abroad as my parents , I dont know why..All my exciting nerves are dead? i started questioning myself.. Perhaps, I started observing people in the airport and made up my mind set that it is all new and different and lets enjoy the moment.
Myself and my parents arrived in the Airport @ 2.00 p.m, but the flight was at 6.30 p.m. A TYPICAL MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY. and then I was chatting with my parents as usual , with some murukku , which my mom has brought to Airport , just to time pass in the airport.
Then came the moment, where I have to bid bye to my parents for a month and told good bye to my parents and entered into the airport.
I was given one hour KT from my father , regarding the process to be followed in the International Airport to get into the flight. It was crazy.
So, I went as instructed from my father, First was the Baggage check-in and then after checking my baggage, I was still able to see my parents from the small window and I have waved my last hand to them , letting them know that, I will be back after a month.
and Then after the Baggage checkin , I cleared the Immigration checks and then went to the security check.
Here is the first crazy experience of my life happened. I was about to put my hand buggage in the security check and there was a passenger just beside, who was also about to get the security check done.
After the security check , the security check guards found out 5 atom bombs and some crackers in the passenger bag and got them out of the bag. Once they took them out of the bag, I accidentally, reacted to the same, because of which, I was also doubted and checked top to bottom by removing my shoes , belt etc.., and treated very badly.
I was a bit shit scared after the incident and never even took my eyes on the passenger again.
And afer all the checks , I was about to board the flight, and as usual called all the family members that, I am going to go abroad -( Who invented this culture. We should kill him. who cares a dam, if I go abroad.) perhaps, when you come back, and tell your family members, that you went abroad, you will be scrutinized to hell and there will be big war inside the family for this lack of communication. So , its better to inform everybody and first the family members.
Then I hear the announcement to board the flight - Here came the real excitement, because , this was my first international travel in the flight.. I was bit excited and nervous as well during the take off of hte flight.
I was messaging all my friends and family members that I was excited and I am sitting in the flight.
The flight slowly started to move and got reeady to take off. I was f___ exicted and nervous. And when the flight was about to take off in one minute, I saw a passenger parallel to me, to the left, dancing and doing some crazy moves.
I felt that, he was just joking and making fun. suddenly, he started shouting and his nerve got pulled and he got a fix. Immediately, all the air hostess, came to rescue and informed the pilot to stop the flight and all the excitement first time excitement turned into the thrilling one and the flight came back to the pavillion.
The passenger was then off loaded from the flight and all the other passengers were gossiping to themself that, it was a thrilling experience to them and so to me as well. To think superstitiously. my flight experience turned into the nightmare, as the flight didnt even take off and it came back to the same place again..huh..what an experience of my life..i thought..
The way flight crew handled was amazing. Once the passenger were off loaded from the flight, the flight was ready for take off. During this time, the flight crew expressed their brilliance. There was another round of baggage check done in the flight for security reasons because , we never know, if the passenger who was attacked by fix, has acted to get out of the flight, for some reason. this is called brilliance.
THen all set, flight took off and it was an first eyes take off experince for me. It was awesome. I really felt like going in a ride in the amusement park when the flight took off.
my next destination was Dubai, I will share all the excitement and experience of Dubai in the next blog.
