First International Flight

2nd May - (Friday) ' 2014
I had just finished my final exam of the last end semester. Excited, thrilled not only because I just finished my exams, but anxious to take my first trip abroad, and yeah summers were here, college would get over and I would soon be a graduate.

But the big thing was still left - Poster presentation that I had requested preponed to the department and the panel agreed. Thank god, I remember my DUPC (Department Undergraduate Program Committee) Secretary saying that "if the panel does not agree, you would have to cancel the trip". Praise the lord, it did not happen.

4th May' 14 (Sunday)
After finishing the poster presentation by personally going to the Prof's cabin and explaining him the work that you did for the past 2 semesters, got over. There were interesting discussions with other students which I came to know only later, one of which was " Beta, rahene do, tumse na ho paayega" types.

So, this is how the long journey began.

1. Indigo : Guwahati (GAU) to Mumbai (BOM) - 2 miles , 8pm arrival
2. Emirates: Mumbi to Dubai (DXB) - 9:40 am departure ,
3. Emirates: Dubai to Milan [Milano Malpensa](MXP) - 8:30pm Arrival [Local Time]

How was it you ask - Tiring but equally exciting and thrilling as well !

The First AC - Rajdhani Express

Image
Edited & Updated:17/02/2016 Also read my blog (a Photo Story): Traveling on Indian Railways Courtesy - Papa for getting the ticket done. Train journeys, yet another experience. And it finally did happen, my childhood dream – “ Rajdhani First AC ” journey, and it was magnificent. The journey began from  New Delhi Railway Station on 26 th December 2012. The train arrived at the station at 1330 hours which was ready to depart at sharp 1400. The Ticket Picture Taken en route Delhi The difference The difference between 2 nd AC compartments and the first AC is that, the 1 st AC compartment are more spacious, has wider seats, each cabin has a door, and since it is ‘Rajdhani’ you have additional benefits, which I’ll come to, but later. The whole bogie is divided into such compartments from A – H The Compartments and the corridor[Below] and the Cabin [Above]    And yet again, like before every journey, I was waiting for s...

Gunti Ki Chai - Experimenting with Tea

Image
You like sipping something hot - Tea or May be coffee. Or you might be the one who would say, get me Green Tea, that's healthy. I got it all for you.... How it Began The episodes of staying up late started in Class 10th. But I wasn't into Tea at all. I remember one of Counselors who had visited my school to talk about how to mentally prepare us for the board examinations. The important note was : There are two types of student 1. Who are good at staying up late 2. Who could get up early ... and importantly study during those hours I was the one from the first lot - staying up late :D But then 11th and 12th involved staying up late, solving problems. This is a little interesting - My father used to say that its good to solve mathematics during night, c'ze when one is involved mentally and physically it would keep one active. Another thing was that we were allowed to listen to music while solving problems, which was an added bonus. ;) So, after an hou...
