Phil Calvin
Bangalore-based. Information security manager. Avid bicyclist. Photography, motorcycles. Street food fanatic. Traveling is my joy.
She got up ONE more time while we were on the runway to repeat her demands. No one enjoys being 3 hrs late but she entertained us.
Her bags stickered with Emirates Business tags. Why ride econ Jet with us cattle? Ah well. Thanks for breaking up the situation, madam.
Feeling special. I have a driver and two co-drivers here in Chennai. And the usual swarm of skeeters too.
She makes a third run for the cockpit screaming "I want to get down!" Pilot again comes on to assure us. We were 2nd in line, now 8th?
This is a good example of why they should serve booze on planes. One whiskey and we'd all relax.
Many people now have missed cnxns and want to get out, but now we are pushing back. More fun in Chennai I'm sure.
There she goes again, charging the front. I think we should gather 600 rupees and buy her a bus ticket. I'd give 50 2 see her face departing
Male FA shouting at her now "Stop shouting!" Finally cap'n announces the situation. Power of communication again. If only ...
She's pissed now. Marching to the cockpit screaming "Who will pay my time? Who will pay damages?" Ask the one who made the fog, lady.
Flight delayed an hour. It is pea soup outside so I'm not surprised. I'll be surprised if we make it out of here only an hour late.
New rules (India): print your boarding card and only hand baggage? You still have to wait in line at counter for a "stamp". You're welcome.
Trying out my Kannada now. Ramesh is very excited. "Best day long time, English Kannada is speaking" hah hah.
Next stop Chennai. First destination there: Saravana Bhavan or Murugan's Idli Shop. Need my fix.
Now he wants to drive me to the airport every day. We're best friends already. That's what I love about India.
Bangalore directions. Given complete address and landmarks, Meru taxi driver (a pro remember) calls at 4am to get directions. What an idiot.
Taxi driver called three times AND had another taxi driver guide him in. He has a GPS too. My addtess/landmarks clearly on the screen.
Ramesh, the driver, is a very nice guy though. Very foggy this morrning.
I see things as they are. The rest of you? I don't know what your problem is. Spectacles maybe?
Chengdu-Bangalore direct flight announced (again). Hope it actually happens this time. Want to see & taste Sichuan.
