Mumbai Skyline

Driving back home the other day, I turned on the Eastern Express Highway towards Powai, which is the normal route home, and I saw a wonderful skyline with a burst of orange all over. I pulled over & clicked a few snaps. Couldn't resist clicking the snaps

Another Blog

Damn, Another blog?
I know, but since I am going to try and restrict my travel related posts on this blog, I've revived by old defunct blogspot address, Musings My Dear!. So for all those taking the trouble of reading the blog, or for those who accidentaly stumbled in here and have some more free time on their hands, can stop by at my other blog which has this & that & blah blah blah.

Airport Woes

Went to Jaipur for a day yesterday. Was met with the longest queue I've ever seen at Terminal 1A. It took me nearly 30 mins after the checkin to get past the security gate.

An interesting thing happened. While I was in queue one of the security guys came & handed me a small scissor and asked me keep it in my pocket. He wanted to check if his guys were doing his job well. And guess what, the guard who frisked me missed the scissor. So I came out of the frisking area and handed the scissor to the supervisor and that was the start of a very lousy day for that guard. He got a verbal bashing like I've never heard before. All in all quite an event making the long wait to board the plane, a bit amusing. The flight was delayed by 40 mins only because passengers couldn't board the plane due to the serpentine queues.

Its really getting quite frustrating to travel by these low cost airlines for business. Its a different thing if you are on a holiday. The return flight was on Jet, and it was a breeze traveling. Jet is such a well oiled machine, all it needs is good maintenance. Having said that, I spotted a no smoking sign, right next to an ashtray in the loo. The ashtray is bigger than the signage.
