Hot Indian Chai (Part 2)
Ok Ok...so the photograph is not really a cup of Chai (tea)...and it is not even taken in India...but who cares...I am bored with this story and need to end it soon. So where was I...at the end of the last blog I was tell you how I ended up in a dark room in in middle of nowhere in Bangalore...
Well to cut a long story short...I have been wanting to do this for a while...to sort of come back to India and do stuff I have always wanted to do. So when the opportunity presented itself...I took it. My Brother Amit is based in Bangalore as well and so I jumped at the opp to get back...
So well...I decided I was coming back...and not only that...set myself a 7 day deadline to pack up and leave. Booked my ticket...told a few people and...well...flew out...
I had an uneventful trip to India...apart from the fact that right though my journey, I was made to sit with men...and only men. I think the airline has me on some sort of list. I think when they type in my name a huge warning comes up..."Danger...arrange seating with men." Well some of you may think I am over reacting but...let me sight a few examples...I fly a lot...I think one of the first times I remember flying was perhaps in 1997. That flight I was seated next to a nice german lady. Very sweet...very nice...very charming... I spoke to her for a few hours...then...I changed flights...sat next to an English girl...very sweet...but was in a bad mood. I think she was returning from Russia and her friend did not get an exit visa from Russia and could not leave the country. She was pissed about that...and I think something I said pissed her off even more...THAT WAS IT...since then I have taken about 42 flights...maybe more...AND SINCE THEN I HAVE NEVER SAT NEXT TO A WOMAN.
Now you could call that coincidence...but I call it Conspiracy. I think I see a smug smile whenever I get on a plane. The flight attendants looking at me and thinking...AH...No women next to him this time...or any time for that matter.
Anyways...what do I do...but enjoy the inflight entertainment and hope that the sound of my headphones will drown out the sound of the snoring.
Anyways...as I said...the flight was uneventful...I got to India. My mate Dilip and Pradeep picked me up...spend the day with friends and then left Chennai for Bangalore. Now when I reached Bangalore...I was to move in to a place with my brother...somehow things did not work out...and we were staying in a guest house...and my brother needed to sleep and so I had to turn the light out and work on my blog...and hence I was in a dark room in the middle of nowwhere in Bangalore...simple...
As I told you...I am getting bored with this story...I have a lot to say about India though...and that is coming up in the next blog...so watch out for it...
