(Part of: Bangalore Trip: OSScamp Bengaluru Mobile 2008)

on my flight back home:

And I’m coming home now
It’s been so long now
Gonna get there somehow
Praying you’ll be there

10:40 AM I am glad to be going home.
Here Comes the Sun; Here Comes the Sun,
And I’ll Say - It’s Alright!
11:03 AM I keep running into bad weather, or so it seems.
11:07 AM Its common to have Turbulence due to the current weather.
Current Height is 38000 Feet.
Just crossed Hyderabad. Scheduled to fly over Bhopal at 11:55 AM and over Delhi by 12:45 PM.
11:20 AM I wish they had bigger windows to enjoy the view.
11:22 AM I wish I could feel the wind on my face.
11:31 AM Bad Weather Again: Be Seated, Fasten Seat Belts, Don’t Use Lavatories. Great! Bleeding Great!
11:35 AM I am rocking my toes, my feet are numb.
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there!
Become so tired, so much more aware
11:38 AM Through with bad weather and no visibility for once. Cloud Cover Lost. Land Ahoy!
11:50 AM Hey Bhopal! How you doin’ man?
11:52 AM Aaj main upar, aasman neeche
Aaj main aage, Jamana hai piche
I dunno why, but I am humming this song. And grinning shamelessly.
11:56 AM Ah! Be Damned You, Turbulence!
11:58 AM It’s kinda weird the way the craft wings shake in the wind. I hoped them to be hard and firm.
12:02 PM It’s like a vast ocean of clouds that I am flying over. Nature’s Call. BRB.
12:08 PM I have been a great discomfort to my seatmates with all the walking from and back to the seats. Wish they had more space between two subsequent rows. Sorry!.
12:19 PM I want to be a space tourist next.
12:27 PM Approaching Home. 20 Minutes to Terra Firma. Wait! Isn’t TERRA supposed to be FIRMA? Ain’t that implicit? I mean, do we have Terra Infirma? I wouldn’t want to be there.
12:28 PM Preps started. Changes in direction and altitude.
12:28 PM We will be landing shortly in Delhi.
Descending Now.
12:29 PM Mother Earth and Gravity playing their little games.
12:40 PM Touche!
