Chpt 13. 18th August

The alarm woke us up early and after a quick bath and some tea, we took the taxi to the airport. All flights were delayed due to the large number of travelers (being a long weekend) and the extra security procedures due to Independence Day week. We had booked the first flight out to Mumbai and Bangalore from Delhi. I had planned on going to office directly from the airport and Vidya during the second half.

When boarding call for the Mumbai flight was announced, we parted ways after some fake rona dhona drama and promises that we would do this every year.

The flights however were further delayed by over 2 hours and the plane waited on the runway for what seemed like forever. I reached office only at 11 a.m. and was immediately immersed into the busy schedule that awaited me. Liza called later in the afternoon to tell me about their delayed flight and her journey back home.

Back to boring reality…Sigh.!

I do hope we do many more trips, hopefully even one a year. On holidays, you not only get to see new places, taste new cuisines, experience new cultures and meet interesting people but also you get to know yourself and your fellow travelers better and grow from it.
