[1st Part... Here]
8th March
4.30 PM EST, somewhere above US coast, around 36000 feet above the sky
Another 3 hours to go before this flight is scheduled to
reach Chicago and After finishing couple of movies during the journey now I am
fulfilling one of my long outstanding wish. For a long time (since I have
written ‘From a moving train’) I wanted to write my blog from a moving
aeroplane and yes finally it is achieved. I have switched on my computer and
typing the 2nd part of my travel journal. I have also switched on my
laptop because I want to listen to ‘GeetaGobinda’ by Chandrabindoo (The first
song I dedicated to Shreya while coming back from Hampi) while flying above
Atlantic Ocean!!
The battery does not have enough charge so let me write down
a few things with GeetaGobinda in the background.
The scenario is improving slightly. Got the front row seat
with better leg space and BA flight attendants confirmed that I might still catch my next flight on
time. The girl in my next seat, Laura, is sleeping heavily. Not to be even
slightly disturbed in her sleep, she has put two layers of clothes above her
eyes!!
The flight is like any other flight with good food and very
polite behaviour. Although it is dark as lights are off and most of the people
are sleeping with windows pulled down. Well this is 10.30 PM in UK and around 3
o’clock in the morning in India. But as you know I do not sleep much and I have
actually slept a lot in my morning flight.
May be I should use this time to give you some background of
my travel. So basically, I am visiting a few onshore sites of the company I
work for, Capital One. First I am going to Richmond, VA. This is the head office
and will spend a week there. Next I will move to North-West to be in Tigard,
OR. This is one of the operations site, where I am going to meet people like
Alison (my US team lead) and Scott (Sr. Director) and also some more people who
are important for my current project. From Tigard I am going to Phoenix for a
couple of days to meet Sekar, my business counterpart and then will take my
return flight from Phoenix on 26th March to reach India on 28th
morning.
26% charge left in the battery. Let me stop now. Hopefully I
will reach Richmond tonight and can post these two parts before going to bed!
Cheers!!
so this leg was relatively hassle-free! waiting for more!
ReplyDeleteYeah for people like tapa "legs" need to be free. Otherwise it will be a hassle.
ReplyDeleteClassic Swaguda!! :D
ReplyDeleteBritish Airways typically has a limited leg-space. I hope your legs aren't aching.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I think it has been a commendable narration, given the short span of time available to you.
