My First Flight Journey
It has been almost 10 months of my marriage.n i was going to USA.as mridul was already there.just after 5 months of our marriage mridul had to go US as it was d part of his job. his project got extension so i also got d chance to go there.i was quite excited...very very excited actual..not only coz i was going to "America"..but i was going to be with mridul..as after marriage we hardly live 1 month together(and it has been 10 month)..so i was very very happy ..excited..thrilled..mixture of lots of feeling was there.this was my ever first journey by flight..n its 'international'..i were excited abt this also but scared too coz i were going all alone there.i felt like this journey was going to be d 'journey' of my life.as of now it doesn't seem extraordinary thing for me but that time it was really a 'Big' thing for me.anyways i was nervous about this 24 hr flight journey..all alone.but at d end of d journey i was going to be with mridul ..this was giving me confidence.my in laws came too see off me at d airport.everyone was concerned..worried about my 'going alone' thing.n me too
i said bye bye to everyone and Very confidently entered into d airport..after waiting for some time i were in the Que checking luggage n other formalities..i were a bit nervous as mridul told me to carry every possible documents required there..if any missing i wont be able to board on plane.so i were again n again checking all d documents..a bundle of paper was in my hands.then my turn came..d person on checking counter took my baggage..checked d weight ..n it got cleared smoothly.took my documents i were really nervous..he checked it n returned it to me..."anything else" i asked.he smiled n said "yes mam your boarding passes".this was a bit embrassing for me.In my nervousness i forgot to take my boarding passes.after tat moment i realised tat i should took a hold on my nervousness.I called my family n mridul tat i got my boarding passes.now i had to wait for my flight ..still one hr was there.n i was waiting...tat wait was really killing me..i wanted to just jump into d plane to be with mridul as soon as possible.i was in thoughts n dreams of our togeatherness which was going to be soon again and tat too in USA..suddenly a gentleman came n sat on d chair next to me.'hi...r u in d same flight' he asked.'yes i m' i answered..'oh tats really good'...his 'good' word felt very suggesstive to me.:)
he kept talking to me."is this ur first flight journey" he asked....now here i dont want to be look stupid or nervous.so i pretended to be very confident n answered "No..i travelled a lot before but internationaly this is first one"."oh this is my first journey by flight n i m bit nervous coz its international..a long duration flight." he answered. i were satisfied inside 'thank god i m not d only one'. n smiled....'tats ok.dont be vervous.it will be a good journey..i told him.
this actualy gave me a confidence.finally announcment made for my flight..and i move towards d gate..entered into d plane.sat on my seat...it was a window seat..looking outside d window..d beautiful night view.d plane was going to take off..and this was d scariest moment for me as i m scared of heights.i started remembering god..chanting mantras..closed my eyes..didn't want to see outside...didn't want to feel d height ..how up i were .finally plane took off n i were in d sky.i was happy tat finally i m going to be with mridul..now nothing can stop me.d inside view of plane was not very attracting n amusing for me so i choose to look outside, though i were scared of height but still....n tat view definetly far better than inside one..d beautiful night view of delhi city frm this much height...suddenly my fear of height got disapperaed..n i started enjoying d view...d moon..stars..they were still at d same distance as they look frm earth ground...still out of reach.

anyways i started enjoying my journey..after 9 hr i reached frankfurt,Germany..frm there i had to change my flight to Dallas,USA.I boarded on tat flight.I met a southindian woman who hardly knows english except some words.."yes, no,help"she was going to visit her son in USA.somewhere i felt pitty on tat woman as she was facing a lot problems coz of language.She even cudn't speak hindi so me too was unable to talk to her.anyways people do every possible n even impossible things just to be with their loveones.In a way me too doing d same things..going all alone there.which was not possible for me earlier.anyways this flight journey was going to end .n my heartbeats was increasing ..me n mridul was going to be togeather after a long time.finally flight landed n i came out frm airport ...imagining mridul like a hindi film hero with flowers in his hand....a total filmy situation...then i saw mridul..though d flowers were not in his hand...but i cud see his face blossming like flower after seeing me..which was hundered time better than any flower..tat was one of d best moment of my life.That journey ended up showing me d best moment of my life.i will always remember this journey throughout my life.
