DAY 4

JUNE 18
So enough of travel and fatigue… After we had a nice nap ( for a change till 9 ) at a place in karol bagh , in delhi, we went to a hotel nearby to hav breakfast ; nd after all the toil the prev day .. we weren’t ready for ny adrenalin. Bt guess different things were in store … after we cam bak frm breakfast… my dad looked for his mobile which was MISSING.. so in karol bagh we lost our phone… som guy shuld nw b happily goin arnd with a motoyuva… after futile attempts of retracing our steps to the hotel , and numerous calls we let it go… now the flight was in the evening.. . so we had a afternoon off… nd we took a ride in the “DELHI METRO” it is a ride every Indian should take…. Quite a marvel of engineering but the real challenge in India is to maintain the infrastructure… nd to everyone`s amazement DMRC have done it successfully…. so after enough awe at the cleanliness, logistics, maintenance of the entire setup we came bak to our room … then later in the afternoon we were to fly to Singapore via Mumbai…. So boarded the plane to Mumbai from delhi… btw delhi airport.. looks pretty gud I shuld say… after we landed at the Chatrapati shivaji airport we had to use a shuttle to get to the international terminal… nw tht was som ride… through the A320s , A360s ,A344s along with quite a few boeing 747-400s , 800s …. Ahh nice… so an otherwise 45 min ride from domestic to international in Mumbai , thanks to the traffic and security . was cut short to a 15 min ride nd we arrived at the international departure terminal… arnd 2000hrs IST … the obvious lull around the gates was quite somthin… relatives saying goodbyes as if thy won’t see their loved ones every again ; arey ppl SKYPE ; and we a group of ppl moving arnd makin jokes and quite at awe at the infrastructure surely nt a popular sentiment… so gt in signed the immigration forms.. tld thm DON’T HAV SWINE FLU BABA… nd gt the passport STAMPED \m/ …. Yeah finally its nt just a stupid book tht every1 has bt nvr uses…. Nd was waitin in the lounge…. NW the departure lounge at the airport…. A chivas regal scotch whisky which was 35 yrs old nd cost USD 350/ litre… scented cigs … nd the best of all was a cartier watch which had a 8000 price tag on it nd I thgt tht isn’t too bad… whn one of the guys pointed out it was USD 8000… O.o .. mouth wider than ever…. As I wanted to buy somthin … I thgt the cheapest thing would be to buy an orbit… so happily I went nd took an orbit nd tld “bhiya change nahi hai… 100 chalega???” he very promptly said yes nd gave me 20 rs back…. :-/… so much for cheap … with a sense of getting looted I wanted to preserve the costliest pieces of gum I have ever bought... so took 1 didn’t offer it to any1.. nd promptly put it back into my pocket... little did I kn tht was goin to be a very big mistake… nyway.. after a lot of very expensive window shopping we attended to our boarding calls for flight 9wxxx ,frgt the number, to Singapore… so a lot of excitement .. maiden international flight .. yipeee…. Went in got a seat.. were we found a LCD screen with movies, music, tv series, games, flight info , route.. blah blah.. so very excited browsing thru stuff… nd I think I watched valkyrie … they also had menu on the flight \m/ .. sadly nly 1 choice for the veg entrée… nyway.. had a nice dinner.. nd was happily cin the movie…. Bt then the flight wasn’t without incident… everytim it fell in an air pocket every1 would c the flight vitals ,incl speed, nd whr we were , as if it made a difference.. land or sea if we fall bye bye world!!! :P , so after a little drama we reached Singapore \m/ !!! the landing was awesome.. the runway with water on both sides….. ahh nice  so .. gt down through the aero brige.. to the check out to get the baggage nd of course.. time was 6.30 Sing time … Next stop the hotel .. we reached there nd tucked in for a nice nap till afternoon to make up for the lost sleep owing to valkyrie… ohhh CRAP .. I frgt tht this was the next day!! :P .. nxt post ppl!!!!
