After years of planning,anxiety,aprehension about touring Kashimir:The Paradise on Earth, the day finally arrived when me and and my family finally set off for the experience of a lifetime.
Here I am, blogging from the Delhi Airport,thanks to an MTNL kiosk, to kill some time only because my connecting flight to Srinagar is still 3 hrs away.
Starting off early @ around 5:00 am,we reached Mumbai Airport pretty early, thanks to my overcautious father.Checking in with a TOI in my hand,I walked over towards the gate no. 4 exit.Was quite amazed to notice that the television screen was a CRT in the age of Plasmas and LCDs.This surely left a sour impression on my mind.Long Live AAI and Long Live the India Tourism Industry.
Boarded the huge Airbus A300, an Indian Airlines flight, which to my surprise, and contarary to the previous experience @ the airport, had beautiful hostesses onboard.Seems our PSU airlines have started grasping the tricks of the trade, albeit slowly.Better late than never.
During the flight, I spent my time having breakfast(strictly veg..no idea why??) and later on browsing through the in-house magazine of Alliance Air.The magazine was a good read, primarily for the adventurous expeditions described all throughout.Reading through the mag, I dreamt of backpacking someday without a care in the world.
I need to log off now before my parents come searching for me..:).Will board the Delhi-Srinagar flight in sometime and from there on we and our tour will be in the hands of Kesari tours.
I hope to have an experience that I would cherish for the rest of my life.
Cherio!!
