Perfect journey

The perfect journey jumped out of story books and became a real thing on 25th of February of the year Two thousand and nineteen, in other words this Monday.
The cab was available at 4:45 a.m.
The driver was just adjacent and knew exactly where to come.
He got there at the boarding point before I could get there.
He didn't speak a word.
We got to the terminal well in time.
I got the shortest line entering the T1 airport terminal at Delhi.
The luggage drop queue was short and fast
I had my boarding card and the luggage checked in within blink of an eye.
Got the shortest queue of a couple of people, while the other queue appeared a mile long at the security check.
Just breezed in for frisking
For once my baggage wasn't opened up and enquired about at the x-ray.
Got a surprise 25% discount for the take away at Starbucks!
Boarding had started by the time I reached down.
Was the last passenger on the bus to.the aircraft and it moved just as I got in.
Was the first to board the craft from the rear gate.
Had a nice nap on the flight.
Was the last to get on the bus to the terminal at Lucknow and it moved as I got in.
My luggage slid in on the conveyor belt as I entered the terminal.
Jazzed up to my parked car.
Negotiated and got a discount on my parking fee
Sped home unhindered.
Took Alex for a short walk
Got to college well in time.

It can't get more perfect than this!

P.S.: came across a brand new white SUV with Neem Karoli Baba sticker on the windscreen while on my walk with Alex. That guy is famous for such small miracles kind of stuff. So I wondered.....

Saskun

Saskun is the word used by the nomads in Yarkand, China, for an illusion, where you feel you can see your destination on the horizon, you can feel it, almost touch it, and will be there soon, but in reality you are still far, far away..... This is the story of my Saskun..........but in reverse. The year is 1853. I am standing in the middle of the afternoon, around 2-3pm, on a single lane, black tarred road. All around, the land is barren, dry with scattered patches of brown grass. Something pretty similar to Khajurao or Jhansi. Semi desert landscape. And it's all hot and dusty due to summer time. The sky is clear and has a whitish haze due to the heat. The road goes straight and right ahead is a white rectangular pillar around 2 feet wide and 6 feet high on the left side of the road. There is a small square platform on top and then a round white structure on top. There is a white boundary wall on the left, but on the right side of the road there is neither a post or a bou

Tarae.....

saw "Tarae zameen pur" today. Finally! Thank God I was forewarned about the tear fest and was mentally prepared for it. Came out with only a couple of scenes which got to me.......like the one in which Aamir paints the kid laughing and obviously the last scene when he runs up to him. Nice movie all in all.

Foggy Days

23rd is my flight from Del to B'lore and the fog is on the rise! In all my wisdom I got the booking done for the 9am flight but looking at the conditions I feel even that to will be a bit too early. It's 12:30pm and the fog is still very much there over here in Lucknow. I guess, I should be mentally prepared for a long haul at the airport. And with two kids in tow, that should be fun!
