Take off and Landing…

 

 It was 06:30 in the morning, I got up are prepared myself for a return journey towards Bangalore via Pune. Somehow, I got ready by 8:30 and got into bus going to Pune. Was really a tiring journey of 5:30 hrs. Reached pune around 14:00, and then called my Uncle to drop me till Airport. I wasn’t expecting so much crowd, but then things went out well and we entered. Airport was fully loaded with Passengers and their was no place to stand. Everywhere long queue’s for Check-IN’s, boarding pass,etc.We initially had nice lunch their itself in Restaurant, which was costly. But, didn’t had an option outside. Although, it was good, but their was pain seeing the charges. Then I left my uncle and continued with boarding procedure. Initially, started with X-Ray checking of Luggage, and then moving towards preparation of Boarding pass. It took around 1 hr to finish both of them and courtesy goes to long Q’s. Then we had to proceed for Security check-IN’s. Which took another 45 mins. So, finally, everything was done by 16:50 and we were about fly off.

Although, our flight was delayed by 20 mins we flew off by 17:20. My seat was 07A, the window one, which charged me 50 bucks extra while booking. But, it paid off. We were sitting and within few mins. it was ready for take-off. It was pretty exciting since it was my first journey so was constant looking outside the window and my exp was pretty much similar to ride of roller coaster. Speed was tremendous and jerk we got while take off was memorable. Couldn’t forget it. Then the journey began. It attended the height and was heading towards Bangalore Airport. I shouldn’t say this, but if you don’t have any friends or partner with you, Flight journey is really boring. I felt in my first exp. And the reason behind it is, there is nothing to see around, although its 1 hr journey, but still you get so much bored that you don’t feel like travelling any more. In trains / bus, its different, inspite of taking longer time to reach our destination, still we aren’t that bored as compared to flight journey… since we’ve so many new things coming up.

Here, only thing you can see is, building which are seldom and arrives only while departing and arrival of any main city. Otherwise, only land’s, sometimes fields, and very rarely water comes. Although, it feels very good, when mountains comes, and the only reason behind it is, that we don’t have to bend our head to see the bottom part. J Within, 1 hr of journey, I felt asleep for 20-25 mins in the midst because my sleep wasn’t completed and had to woke up @ 6 in the morning. Somehow, the announcement happened that we were about to land in Bangalore Airport. So, it was pretty exciting. Their were so many buildings, roads, people walking on road, I imagined that when we were walking on the roads, and sees the plane, people use to see us in the similar fashion. Finally, we landed at 18:30 and then again waited to collect our Baggage. It took 15mins more. As mine room was too far and it took around same hours to reach as much as my journey took. And I reached my room after 1 hr.
