a flight to aizawl...

this tour seemed totally jinxed but i stayed on it... the next morning got up bloody early to go to the airport... turns out the aizawl flight is delayed too... 2 hrs...

01.00 pm

speak to adi and wish her a very happy budday, the girl is extremely surprised that i called from exotic places... :)

01.30 pm

tech snag discovered on the flight, engineering team called in from cal to fix it... cal will take 2 hrs to gather people up and then sned them here through a flight gingto jorhat which will land at guwahati just to drop these guys off ... (yeah right... i wud have even believed airdropped them, but special focus on customer needs - no way, not with indian in North East)...

03.30 pm

discover that if the team fixes everything by 3.45 pm the flight can take off, after it is discovered that it cannot be fixed in 15 mins after para dropping the engineers and materials (for which the inspection will happen at 4.00pm ??? ) a message will be sent to cal asking permission to cancel the flight... then once the chai pakoda at the calcutta canteen gets exhausted (its raining people - chai pakoda has the highest priority)... then the flight will be cancelled...

05.30pm

get tickets cancelled and get back to hotel...

07.30 pm

go out for pizza!!! aaah!!!

next morning 07.30 am.. get up and run...

and by the way, i misplace my tickets to aizawl and the flight i know is totally full from the passengers of 2 days...

09.30 am

my colleague smooth talks the airport manager into accepting that i am indeed me and am not carrying false copies of driving license, passport, pan card and atm card with my photos on... i then but a frsh ticket costing rs 2000 for the same seat on teh same name on the same flight... grrr :( but at least im going to aizawl...
