i have never flown in the morning before. this time for diwali i was taking an early morning flight to kolkata. i saw the sun rise. though i was on the other side of the rising sun thanks to bad judgement on part of the airline guy who inspite of telling him that i want to see the sunrise, gave a wrong seat.
i loved looking at the wings. when they turned and i saw the view infront of me going up and down.
i also loved looking sown on the clouds. looking like small bundles of cotton.
landed in kolkata and met my wife who was there before me. we went out to have phuchka. lassi.
we got invited to many places and i hogged like a dog. so much so that for two days i was down with a bad stomach.
my inlaws also had lot of food cooked specially for us. there was fried rice, there was chilly chikcen, there was plain rice with pomphret. and lots of sweets.
the evenings were equally beautiful. where in we went to the terrace and burnt crackers. there were so many beautiful crackers around us that gave us so much light.
a very different diwali. i quite enjoyed it.
