Fickleness of my mind resides here

Theres a new Airline started n India by the name of Spice Jet.. and I had the honour to fly it on my way from Delhi to Bombay. Just putting that experience down for all to read

 We were back from Dubai on the 15th of Dec. to file some paperwork for the Australian PR.. so we had decided to spend some time in Delhi and finish all that was needed. Our fligt to Bombay was booked on Spicejet and was at 6 in the morning on the 22nd of Dec.

Arun(my Husband) called the Airport to confirm that the fight was on time coz all flights the day before had been delayed or cancelled due to extreme fog in Delhi and 0 visibility.. He was told it was on time and that we should be on our way if we wanna make it. So we left home at 4:30 am to reach Indira Gandhi Intl. Terminal..The minute we reached and went up to the airline counter we were met by an A4 size printout saying that the flight was delayed by an hour due to Fog.. Frustrated we decided to just check in our baggage and wait at the cafe..

At the cafe the guy wont attendarun for 15 minutes and when he finally did arun was told that the veggie patties I wanted him to get were out of stock.. I remember the look of frustration and anger on Arun's face when he walking back towards me.. While waiting for him I noticed a sticker on one of the pillars in the airport "I love My India" hehe that made me laugh..when I looked around I saw a neverending line of people waiting for security check.. some sitting on an old non operative conveyor belt waiting for the line to move

Finally the line moved and we were allowed in for the check.. once done with that we waited in the lounge for another 2 hours before making a move.. But we found a lil kid to play around with

Finally the passengers for our flight were called to board the bus to take us to the aircraft.. it was a full on 20 minute ride to the craft.. coz it was parked in one far off corner of the airfield.. I mean if we had just jumped the wall behind the craft we would be in goregaon.. which normally would take us an hour and a bit to drive from delhi house.. hehehe

When we climbed the craft we were shocked at the condition fo the flight and the seats and the arrangements.. Spice jet claims that they have the cheapest fares or something.. coz its a no frills flight.. all they give you is some cookies and a bottle of mineral water.. it was 9 when we boarded the craft and were in the same spot till it struck 1:30 pm.. without food and sleep everyone was cranky..

Arun decided to go up and talkt othe hostess and find out why we are being delayed so much.. and he learned that the visibility was onnly at 250 meters.. whereas the domestic pilots need 550 meters..after a while we came to know that the pilot hadnt arrived yet .. Hunger killing us we finally got some cookies and water .. and then we took off at 2:00 pm and reached bombay at 4:00 pm.. Finally got out ofthe airport to be greeted by some news crew to ask us the difference between Delhi weather and Bombay weather.. I told him its 5 degreees in delhi and 27 in bombay.. calculate the diference.,. Arun and my pop in law who had come to pick us.. started telling the guy about the poor service of the AAI and the airline etc etc.. hehhe I stood in one corner watching these guys at their 10 minutes to fame.. hehehehe

Finally on our way back to Khopoli we stopped at Mcdonalds and I ate like a HOG

Strings - Zinda

Yeh hai meri kahani, Khaamosh Zindagani.
sannata keh raha hai, kyun zulm seh raha hai.

Ek daasataan puraani, tanhaayi ki zubaani.
har zakhm khil raha hai, kuch mujhse keh raha hai.

chubhte kaante yaadon ke..daaman se chunta hun...
girti deewaron ke .. aanchal mein zinda hun...

bas yeh meri kahaani, benishaan nishaani.
ek dard beh raha hai, kuch mujhse keh raha hai.

chubhte kaante yaadon ke..daaman se chunta hun...
girti deewaron ke .. aanchal mein zinda hun...

bajaye pyaar ki shabnam mere gulistaan mein,
baraste rehte hain har din maut ke saaye,
siyahiyon se ulajh padti hain meri aankhein,
koi nahin .. koi bhi nahin jo batlaaye kitni der ujaalon ke raah dekhun
koi nahin.. hai koi bhi nahin.. na pas na dur,
Ek yaad hai, dil ki dhadkan, apni chahat ka jo elaan kiye jaati hai,
Zindagi hai jo jiye jaati hai, khuun ke ghut piye jaati hai..

Khwaab kaanton se siye jaati hai....

ab naa koi paas hai phir bhi ehsaaas hai,
siyaahiyon mein uljhi padi jeene ki ek aas hai
yaadon ka jungle yeh dil, kaanton se jalthal ye dil...

chubhte kaante yaadon ke..daaman se chunta hun...
girti deewaron ke .. aanchal mein zinda hun...
