Strange Coincidences

Sometimes eventful life astonishes me as much as it fascinates me sometimes.......Like take the case of you think of something ill about somebody and the same happens to you too.Geeks call it FORCE OF ATTRACTION that if we think negative (here subject doesn't matter just the verb does the magic !!!) it is bound to happen.

Case Study 1 : Oh that boy has such an ugly face and the next day I find pimples on my face
Case Study 2 : Oh He remains so ill and the next day well got bed ridden
Case Study 3 : His digestion system is so poor and the very next instance mine too gets destroyed and I spend the whole day in lavatory !!

But then again I think of people as smart , intelligent , confident ,cool but that never happened to me else I would have been the Next Big Thing of Software Industry.....
This is Life .... Strange isn't it ???

35000 feet high


It was a dream... a childhood dream....after so many goodbyes to the bird like figure with dazzling lights ,leaving it's trail behind it (Ok Ok it was unnecessary description it's a PLANE. happy now??)...to travel in it and 23 May would go down in my list of never forgettable dates...the day I flew twice - from Allahabad to Delhi and then Delhi to Hyderabad .
What for?? I will come to it later...no ?? you wanna know ?? So be it.

During my 3rd year of B Tech from MNNIT ALLAHABAD (U.P. ,INDIA) (previously MNR dumbo) was selected for an Internship Opportunity in Amazon (don't tell me you never heard of it !!). And Circumstances were such (you can call it luck but I call it destiny) that we after so many train tickets cancellations (yes too many and I mean it!!) got Air Tickets all on company expenses . WOW!! .

So four of us (was not alone yaar. Was accompnied by superb companions in Gaurav Tiwari @ Ballu : Master of everything ; Jeetendra Rajput @ Neo : Champion of Counter Strike and Mohita Menon @ ??? I guess it's Mohi : the Ultimate Geek ) . We packed our Bags in summer vacations and assembled at bamroulli (Allahabad Airport) and were up up up and awayyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Where was I?? Ya.... the feeling was inexplicable..the child in me was out open and was looking out at the beautiful mosaic laid down by God (OK humans also have contributed too....).But let me start from the beginning . The plane was loaded by goods and later by the travelers. The plane started at a slow place and nearly at a constant velocity started completing runway.

What ????
It came to a halt suddenly. Was it not supposed to accelerate or fly ?? Has the pilot fainted or Engine crashed ?? Before my pessimism could go any further the plane accelerated at an extreme pace . ( Meanwhile I tighten my grip on chair , check my safety belt and look outside --- I had got a perfect seat that was a window one and a girl sitting next to me ;) ) and before I could think of anything the plane took off from the ground and we found ourselves among the clouds , competing with the birds (of course we won :yahoo).

The View below as I told earlier was simply divine.... tiny tiny ants which turned out to be trucks and cars and small blocks joined together (It can't be houses !! Oh my God!!) resembled a Doll house.To better put it a painting-a scenery and that too very lively(what else it could be? and this was not mine but Mohita's view.).We grabbed a magazine and the safety manual and eye-scanned it thoroughly.Sadly the Air Hostess were not what I had heard they are ( ;) ) but that was never the priority to have a journey among the clouds... the priority here was to feel being a cloud myself , with hypothetical wings fly as high as hopes are , in a atmosphere as serene as some feelings and be a child again!!

Then the plane turned and the horizon was below us ...we were higher than the sun relatively and then we saw a heavenly scene - among the silver lining of clouds the sun rays were filtering out putting up a perfectly exciting colloidal effect and when the sun came out my jaw dropped open having witnessed such a scene for real and not on some youtube video. Without notice the time flew with us and after good food we got down at the Delhi Airport which was no less than a palace (but the roof was leaking to our great astonishment!!! Never mind the spots in moon it still is a beauty.).After shelling out a handsome 85 bucks for a bun butter (and they called it ########### oops forgot!!! ) got to board another flight .

The fun was not over friends... it still hadn't begun.....and as it turned out I forgot to put a security seal on my handbag . At the security check I was sent back to get seal put .Will the plane leave me and take off ?? I should hurry .... foolish me?? Yeah. I thought of plane as some metro bus service .... never mind . Twosome in airport bus (there was this guy who was late as was enjoying IPL-2) we then boarded our plane-Indigo to be exact.This time the Air-Hostesses were (well... get the hint ;) ). But the atmosphere was all lightning and raining causing a delay of 1 hr (to tell you the truth the plane seats are not at all comfortable and siting for 2 hrs at a strech made me feel that I should take a Jog of a couple of kilometres.).The Plane took off finally.It was night now and the dazzling lights deep down were a treat to watch.Avoiding Unnecessary repetition I should tell you the world never seemed more beautiful.

The captain announced the due arrival at the Shamshabad Airport and started landing and then all the excitement inside turned into a torrent of pain with my ears paining so much that I wished that God should not have given them . It seemed that everything inside the ears would explode out and was pleading and praying for a very quick landing ( if I would survive this pain!! ). Just the second I felt lost the plane landed in the ground ..... Oh god I had never felt such a releif.
We reach Hyderabad now and thus the dream flight was over.......is it????
