When i take off, quite literally. I have gotten the tickets on the Mumbai Rajdhani cancelled and booked myself a seat in SpiceJet. The new low fare airline from ModiLuft.
I am not really nervous or anxious, though everybody around expects me to be. I think i am really looking forward to it. 2 years in the financial capital of India, should be something.
There are going to be so many firsts. My first air travel, My first time outside of home, for such a long time. My first interstate travel by myself.
I wont have to ask myself the emirates question for a long time to come now - "When was the last time u did something for the first time?"
Got my self new luggage cases today and the packing has well and truly begun. After a whirlwind shopping tour on sunday in which i blew up 15k on the credit card. 10 out of which were for my new phone. I got myself a new N6600, although every tom,dick and Channi has it now, i stil wanted one coz i had been eyeing it for so long,i dint feel like giving up on it. So i m an owner of a decent camera phone now. no MMS making in this one for sure ;).
Still a lot of running around to do.
Oh, by the way. My 'could have been' was formally engaged with her 'would be' and the love of her life this sunday. I met the guy for the first time too (another first?). And he is a nice fella. Contrary to what a friend of mine expected me to be, i was quite happy and confortable in the situation i was in.
At the back of my mind, i wanted myself to be there coz i want to groom myself to handle all kinds of hard situations i can be in. Emotional or professional. like the nike guys exhort me to, I Just Did It, without inhibitions and trying to run away frm it. And she was happy that i came. So was her family. And so i was i.
Wish u a happy married life A.
