To Mumbai, with Love! T.M.W.L. Part I
It is still three hours to my flight but taking no chances with my past experiences of always being late, I just could not afford to miss this one! Mornings are not my best friend but today I had this strange energy, in no time I was on my way to the airport.
There we reached. Ma and bro came to see me off. It is going to happen finally I told myself. Bidding them adieu I walked towards the entrance phew I heaved I had never ever been all by myself ever in my life and now I will be alone for the rest of the week. It felt like I'm leaving something behind, there is something missing teary I was and I was like will I be able to survive even a day and suddenly the emotion took a total 360 turn and I went into all frantic mode " I have to collect the boarding pass!" and and what about the security check of my luggage ah! this bags heavy I would have to do everything myself! Without much a do I straightway went ahead to collect my boarding pass from one of those fancy automated machines and then with all my strength put the bag on the luggage scanner ( you must be thinking didn't anyone come to help? I wished the same..well nah I had no luck :( ) when all the formalities were done I finally headed to the gate to board my flight. Time lapsed so quickly even though I reached so early I had almost taken all the time to just do the normal check-in stuff! While I waited for the boarding to begin, I observed people, unusual for me since I am all chirpy most of the times and hardly pay attention at the surroundings. I chose to sit, just opposite there were two ladies extremely decked up for airport (I have to mention this!) sitting with 3 bags each, ohkay so I wondered does the weight limit does not apply to them? must have paid some good fee for it. Most of the people were either plugged in or charging their phones I hardly saw anyone talking to each other and how can I miss people randomly clicking selfies. It might sound crazy but when you are alone and travelling it seems like a slow motion movie going around and you are just a spectator!
