Amreeka mein

This is one of the few days where i feel so much at home or so away from the loved ones.

The journey began in Delhi, where I did my first goof-up not carrying Indian Currency I check ed my wallet which just had 5.50 Rs. and I was dead hungry, after my check-in, security and the other nightmares was hungry like a dog and relaized have not eaten anythingsince the last 36 hrs, may be I am too tied up with work or too tied up expressing it.

anyway tried all the shops in there for a conversion or someone accepting USD $$, I had the power in hand for which all and one have shifted their homes away from the homeland but in dismay. Then as usual the sweet and innocent smile came to resue, there was a shop which had a really intresting lips who answered to my pleads by saying "Normally we do not accept USD but if you order someting and pay me in USD I can give u the change back in Rs.", there I paid Rs. 100 or USD 2.5 for a veg Katti Roll and was swearing on myself.

Anyway once I had the change called up ppl.

The flight was delayed by an hour and was cursing things and was arguing to myself why the hell did I agree to travel. Then noticed a strange thing the singapore airlines has a different and rather intresting way for the bording your row is called and then you can board, I am sure I was always listening as Roll rather than Row, so thght hmm I am back to my school days and tghht why dont ppl just proxy for me.

Boarded the flight and the journey began, felt a strong urge for a Cig... but alas cannot do anything abt it. There are so many other things which were hideen from me :

1. I had a window seat with all my side except the window be occupied by women and hence had to give up on my premeditated plan to booze till I am asleep, the jet-lag avoidal tip all of the others gave me .

2. I realized that all of the passengers have been offered dinner but I am left with nothing to eat, remined me of the hindi saying "Daane Daaane par likha hai khaane waale kaa naam", anyway after lot of wait a chinky asked me for dinner and i said YES, Dinner for designated as "Asian India Veg" and I saw the contents changing with the Defination from Paneer masala to Salad during the journey.

3. The other intresting thing was the newly married lady sitting next to me had a polythene bag on which "KOTA" was written controlled my urge to break a conversation.

4. Another realization that I dont have cigrrttes handly with me, thinking abt plans to buy one from the airport.

Reached Singapore and am all set to get a smoke .. Rush thru the forms and other detais so that I can buy time for a smoke. Realize that I need to find.

1.. a cigrette
2. A smoking zone
3. A light

Hmm rushed out to the lounge looking for a place where i can but a pack, but find out that I need to buy a cartoon, paid $14 to buy a cigrette , So Rs. 4 ==== Rs. 864($19)

Anyway found a smooking room and liit a cig and got a high to.. worth it I said to myself and found someone asking for cig felt like god offereing him one. thght that I am stupid for a min but as they say hota chalta hai zindgee hai.

Will continue this in the second part . .. .

Jaisa ki kehte hain na . . . . .
