Its been a while , seems like a long time ago , however , China Musings are the call of the day!
A day before we leave ,Ruchi aptly puts it on FB status line as " Chandni Chowk to China" . Methinks , I should say , "World Cup to Widespread China" ????
Its going to be Chinese whisper these entire 13 days , we are all in the basic state of suspended anticipation , waiting for the mystery of this tour to unfold , since all of us know bits & pieces of the trip !
Drive to the airport takes less than 20 mins , how did that happen?? Well , to be expected , It's the World Cup Finals between India & SriLanka. If Wankhede Stadium, is packed to the hilt , with the crowds roaring for an Indian Victory , the streets of Bombay are more than practically empty .... ahhh ... Cricket Mania !! And I cant help but say, " Itna sannata kyon hai bhai ???? " J
Its cricket , cricket and only cricket everywhere , all the way through to the boarding gates of the Flight. The pandemonium infront of every TV set at the airport shall give Wankhede a run for its money! The energy , the passion .... amazing ! Time to board the flight , and no one wants to move , its the last 2 overs , if the passengers are apprehensive , so are the ground staff of Kingfisher, a few minutes delay to watch India win is acceptable by any airlines in India! Everyone is rooted to the ground. Last Ball , Dhoni hits a six, the uproar , India has clinched the World Cup, and my prediction has come True, Yes! What a super beginning to our trip!
Hightlight : Announcements after announcements , on flights ready for departure , on names of passengers ..... with ground staff hustling passengers towards the aircraft .... Cricket , aapke kya kehne , passengers so glued to the TV sets , that they couldn't hear or pretended not to hear! J
