Yesterday, 23 July 2016, came to Delhi.
My Jet air flight was at 7 AM, which meant to be checked in by 6 AM, I had requested for the taxi to come at 3:45 AM. Whole night I was up, packing and then watching TV till 2:45. Then work up Dad. At 3:30, I got a call from the Meru Cab guy saying he would be there in 10 minutes. Fine.
At 3:45, I called the cab guy. He said was at a fuel station, for getting his tires checked for air.
At 3:55, he came. Luggage kept in the car when the guy realized he had a flat tire.
H asked me, You have some time in hand. I said - 10 minutes. He then struggled with the jack and in about 15 minutes, he managed to get the punctured tire replaced.
So around 4:10 or so we started. And around 5:10 we were at the airport.
Then the Jet Air counter. I asked for a wheel chair for Dad. Got one. And going with him, I went from the staff gate, so my security check in happened in 10 minutes. In a normal scenario, It would have taken at least an hour.
At 6:10 we boarded the flight. The flight stewardess ( not sure if air hostess is still a politically correct term or not) came by. There was a time when these people were known for their beauty. And this lot was diametrically opposite of that.
Anyway, food was served - a nice breakfast and the flight was in, 10 minutes before time.
Was home by 11:30M.
Went and got chola bhatura and had that for lunch. Then a nap in the noon.
Evening had roasted corn and then dinner was the great tandoori roti and dal from the neighbouring dhaba.
Great day.
