I wrote this post on 4th Nov but was not able to post it..:)...So today here it goes....
The leobond shares with you the experiences in taking frequest flights from Mumbai -Delhi and vice-versa with a very common but a happening festival for we Indians. Its been like travelling from home to office with me moving from Mumbai - Delhi and so on every month ;most of the time twice.With every journey, the difference that I see is every time the frequency of passengers. The scenario at the airport is every time very different.I always take the early morning flight from Mumbai so that I can reach my family soon in the morning itself.
Today being 4th Nov,2010 a day before Diwali, the airport was tooo crowded as if I was standing at Dadar or can say Virar tsation to board the Local.People surrounded with their children making loads of noises could be seen here and there but there was a smile on everyones's face. I think it was the festival
smile i.e the Pre Diwali special episode, and so was the cause with the Leobond. I was also there for the same cause.
I have always been away from my parents after 12th and rarely have been with them during festivals so I dont leave any opportunity to be with them whenever I get one. Last year all of us were together in Banagalore; this year since Tom(My sweetu bhabhi) is with us , I am going to Delhi, my second home.Festivals in every country have their own importance, this is what I was discussing with someone whom I met very recently in Capgemini CIm team. He is from Netherlands and can talk anything on any topic and has varied in depth knowledge of every second thing on this earth.Yesterday , i too like others was busy decorating the cubicles in my office and was fun ;oh yes and offcourse I missed my almamater my very own TCS and its traditional day where we had to look ultra traditional...and allof us used to be in extra special jolly mood.The rangoli comp/fenz/outings every second thing...The facebook is flooded with wishes, the mailboxes overflowing, the smses here n there, everbody is busy in wishing each other. The offices/houses/restaurants every single place is decorated and every single Indian especiially has been trying to be in Jolly mood.In short, i would say that its only smiles everywhere but for some like Lavi..;)...to be mentioned specifically coz people like him are away from family and country as well and are missing India and I guess that is the reason why a person like me is not fit for any long trip away from the country...Sometime back I had this great desire to go for a long term assignment but soon I realised that a person like me who feels homesick every single moment,who hates the feeling of staying alone is not fit for such assignments...:)...Better i realised it else would have really messed up my life badly.
Coming back to the topic, though got diverted, I wish all of you a very happy and fun filled Diwali...With new hopes and aspirations may every single desire get its final destiny and add to the pace of our very own life's mobility....
Cheers...
it is festivities and clebrations that gets everyone thinking thus...rather majorly, these. :)
ReplyDeleteGood one this Leobond! :)
Hope this festival brought enough light and cheer along with it to last for a lifetime.
