October 27th '05, in the deadly and scary rains, someone waiting for....
"Good night,sweet dreams and c u soon....".The last words on the call before sleeping.
"So finally there it was my license to my First Air Journey ..."i said by holding the airticket of Jet Airways...to PuneThe happiest moment.Now the Journey date was 27th...but i still wished not to make a mistake and not to forget anything...So my luggage was ready on 25th night itself...
"So i m flying for the first time and that also for the Most happening event in my life....So Mr.Ashutosh...sleep well and Good nit to u too..." said the inner voice and i went off to sleep.
Little did i know that the next morning shall be the scariest day of my life...
I got up early,finding myself floating in the pond of water..."What the hell is this!!!!"...I thought for a second i must be dreaming...But then thought vanished in a fraction of a second.I openend the door and found the trees bending enough to tounch the ground,the rain water splashing against my face and...eveywhere there was atleast a knee height water everywhere...
"So no Call Taxis,no Autos,no Local trains and on the top this stormy weather...Now y this happens only to me everytime..." were the thoughts runnin in my mind.I had no other alternative left than , to pay more get the hell out of there to office.Agreeing to pay a Autowala 3 times the usual rate...i took my luggage and reached the office wet and drenced with water.
Finally the first happy moment...My lead asked me to leave immediately to the airport. So took my luggage, got an Auto (guess so was from pre-independence...) as its condition sucked...but who cares when it is takin u closer to ur destiny.
Next task...what is to be done at the airport...where u get the Ticket ...all thoughts mingling in my mind.But the staff was helpful enough to tell everything.Thus the scanning of the check-in luggage,getting the boarding pass and the security stuff was cleared and i waited to Board.
"Passengers travelling by Jet Airways Flight to Mumbai please proceed towards boarding".My seat was 12F.
Finally in the company of air hostesses i completed the journey in 2 hours and had landed my destination...
