8 PM, 25th April Hongkong Airport Transit lounge. Was waiting to board
the flight to SFA on my first ever overseas tour. And just thinking of
last 24 hours of my life.Will like to share what was my experience for
the last 24 hours or so.
9 Pm HAL Airport,
bangalore. I was all set to go. My friends were with me. But still I
was waiting for two of my friends. After all it was a much awaited trip
and how can I leave without meeting them. But then it proved to be a
long wait. In the mean time Minhaz panicked us so much that I felt as,
if I am not going to get into the lounge, I am going to miss my flight.
So I called them and bid adieu to them. I went inside the lounge only
to find that I could have waited for another half an hour more for them
at the airport. Any way, I was set to start. And I was aware of the
amount of "English" I had to speak on my one month trip. So i decided
to practice it right from the bangalore airport. And I started it off
with the PCO operator at the lounge. After a call to my friend, I asked
that guy with a 100rs note in my hand, "How much?". He destroyed all my
enthu with his reply "Change Yelle madi" (No change)or something like
that. Oooooppps, he was the wrong guy for practicing my english.Anyway
I was determined to put myself into American Environment, so I just
gave him a 100 Rs Note, a firm look and said "keep the change" with a
nod like Clinton. And I felt really satisfied after leaving a change of
Rs 3.50 with him.
