MOTHERLAND CALLING - I



And finally after one & half year the day came for which I was eagerly waiting. The day when I felt to be one of the happiest person on this earth. It was 14th of Dec 2006 when I left Raleigh and begun my journey towards my motherland. Nothing could be a better gift for me on my birthday other than this…what say???


I was so glad that I wasn’t able to sleep that night. According to my Itinerary, my flight from RDU to Washington-Dulles was at 7:40AM hence I reached RDU airport at 5:40 AM. But after coming to US I learnt one thing that Domestic flights are never on time….they are always late due to one or the other reason. This time the reason was ‘fog’ in the Washington City. For 40 mins of flight I have to wait for more than 4 hours on the airport at C21 terminal. Never mind…because anyways I have to wait on Wash-Dulles airport for nine hours. Although I carried a Good book with me, as suggested by the UA rep, I killed my time just by moving around and observing people on the airport. At last there came the boarding call for passengers of flight UA7130 and finally the flight took off at 12:10PM. Sad part was…due to this delay we were served ‘nothing’ in the flight.
