So I started writing this blog while I was sitting in the cafeteria in Yash Raj Studio in Mumbai. Now I am on Spice Jet 118 Mumbai - Delhi (VTSPF) going home. Whats the point of this blog? Well it is like so.
Last Week there was an Adobe conference in Mumbai which I wanted to attend so I got permission from Matt ( my boss) who it just happens is on leave! So friday I get to the travel desk and get my tickets booked call amrita and tell her i am coming and since the conference is Tuesday - Wednesday (11th and 12th). I decided to take Monday off and leave on saturday and spend a few days with Amrita as she was leaving for New York to work on the new Yash Raj Movie Ta Ra Rum Pum.
Well after all these plans and stuff i get an email saying that Due to rain the conference was cancelled what sucks more was that in the last two days there was no rain in Mumbai.
OH CRAP this cant be happening ! So i get the travell desk to cancell the tickets F!@# this sucks I will never get to see Amrita before she leaves !! So that was the start to a very depressing Friday where not only was the Travel Desk guy giving me dirts but Amrita giving me hell.
So Saturday comes and goes and in the evening I couldnt handle it I had to go to mumbai even if it was just for a night I had to see amrita before she left .. so Sunday morning I get up and go to the airport to check on the flights. JET is full and the Air India counter is still closed. So I go in search of the office in chandigarh. Now the joy that day was it was cloudy and the sky was brown with mud for whatever reason. So on the way to the AI office it starts getting dark and by the time i get to the office i am driving with my lights on becuase it is like 9 at night. Screw that i am still going i am thinking. so i get to the office and I get the price of the ticket and am like yea what the hell i am going and i ask the guy will the flight take off? and the answer i get is NO. Should i book your ticket sir ??? Huh what he wanted to book the ticket even though the flight wouldnt take off weird. So the weather had it in for me that day so i would have to watch the world cup final and watch France beat the crap out of Italy at Vasila (I know i know France lost) fine not fair but fine. Anyway it seem that it was not meant to be becuase the air port was closed in Mumbai becuause of some bandh and shiv sena stuff in Mumbai so it means i would never have got to Amritas.
Monday I find out from Amrita that hey she is not leaving this week she is leaving on Monday. Good News for me i may still get to see her :) yea .... Well all thoughts went flying out of my head when 7 bombs rocked the railway system in Mumbai bringing Mumbai to a halt that night. Crap that was sencless violence on the people of Mumbai. Next day i am thinking there is no way getting to Mumbai will be easy this week at all with all hell breaking loose in Mumbai. What the hell let me try so I booked the tickets on flight 111 to Mumbai 5:40 A.M in the morning on Saturday. Got Nitin to get the train tickets from Chandi to Del.
The trip to mumbai from Chandi is also a story on its own the jist being I partied all night in Del with Kismet and Nitin went to the airport flew to Mumbai hung with Amrita went out partyin to town got home at 5am watched her pack and left.
So that brings me back to where i started I am on the flight back to delhi.
Happy that i made it to Mumbai to see Amrita satisfied with the trip it was more fun than I thought it would be maybe becuase I have been trying to get to see her for like a week and it seemed like the world was against me elements and all.
