Aboard, abraod.

Well, A long high after a long time. high or sigh? I'll settle for a simple HI!

Sitting pretty and getting access to a machine here in Toronto, I thought why not pen down this long journey which I have made in the last couple of weeks! Kolkata-> Hyderabad -> Toronto. Span is quite huge. Home, Workplace, Deputation.

The flight journey was cool enough. British airways stood true to its name being snobbish, and maybe a bit more more to us... Indians. I hate to say this, but there was a definite discrimiantion between the flights I took from Hyd to London and then London to Toronto. everything changed, right from highlife entertainment tv to drinks they served, and services they offered and the way it was offered. Hey i gotta tell ya something which left was in grrr... the airhostess asked for my age proof when I asked for Red Labels!!! I mean, is not that embarrassing??? I snarled back saying you ned the passport? and then it was smooth... the scotch and the service, both!! and the wines as well.

London airport was cool, well no deja vu there, the airport changed a hell lot in the last 13 years, and terminal 5, where all BA flights are now routed to, is a entirely new built airport. Only the name Heathrow was same, and maybe the weather!! I am obviously referring to my visit to the UK 13 years back, if anybody needed the explicit pointer!!!

Well, that was it for now. I will come back later. The apartment I am living in is pure Indian, or should I say south bound! more on that when I come back. there is a lot more to talk about, trust me!

Take care.
