My Journey to OZ Land - Part Trois

MH 199 KUL - MEL got into a bigger flight this time as it was a 7.5 hrs journey. It was a boeing 777 thistime , but the seating looked similar to the 737 one. But this one had a TV set behind each seat.. so i could watch what i could. Just finished watching "Rebound".. Martin Lawrence starrer.. a comedy one.. nice timepass.. Had a heavy lunch... it was a hindu meal.. and it had non-veg again.There was curd,gulab jamun,fruit salad,pepsi,icecream... huh. finished them all.. and feeling pretty heavy.There is somelady sitting beside me... wish it would be someone else.. i mean someone whom i can talk to but again.. there is this feeling that if i start cracking my jokes, then.. ok lets not get started on that. There are some hindi movies also to be watched.. eg: Kya kool hain hum.. the super hitmovie.. if i am unable to sleep,, then i will watch it.just another 4 hrs left before i touch down in melbourne city.My cousin would be waitin for me.. this is similar to a volvo bus journ...

My journey to OZ land - Part Deux

MH 199 HYD-KUL my first brush with an international flight... and i was greeted by airhostess's dressed in greeeeeeeeen.... all of them.. even the interiors of the malaysian airlinesflight were predominantly green.. making me wonder, am i travelling to Indonesia or malaysia... (those of u who dint get that one.. indonesia has the world's largest muslim populationso... green is the color of that nation,, ) anyways.. moving on.. i first went through the business class.. man they have some luxuries..but i was shown seats at the back of the aircraft.. as mine was economy class. There were7 seats in each row.. and as expected, the window seat was mine.. 3/4th of the flightwas empty.., so i slept on 4 seats fully stretching myself.. thank god.. else it would have been similar to a painful Volvo bus journey.. just the difference being.. we are spared of the bumps.. (had a few though on the Hyd runway!!) and somewhat better looking ppl to take care of you. they started serving all kin...

My journey to OZ land - Part Une

i am sitting in the security lobby of the airport here.. and narrating my experience of my flight journey abroad... :) got a laptop.. so i can type as things happen.. but i thought my company gave me a laptop for different reasons.. !! my hand baggage was no where near the stipulated 8Kgs.. and my shoulders are swooning.. the total luggage itself crossed the limit.. but the guy at malaysian air.. knew mom..so things were cool... and here i am, carrying more than what im supposed to.. there are nothing but clothes in my luggage... and yeah.. the usual pickles.. that grandmom made with lotta love and chilli powder...!!there was the usual gathering of guests at the house making it almost impossible to have some time for myself.. it was a nice feeling to stand on the other side of the huge barricade in the Hyd airport..atlast after seeing off 6732 people.. i get to go out of india.. and ppl have come to see me off.. :) :) well.. i know.. i kinda exaggerate a bit.. !! just saw the Lufthansa...
