MOTHERLAND CALLING - III

We landed on London-Heathrow (LHR) airport at around 6:30 AM and had a connecting flight to Mumbai after 3 hours. On LHR airport, for a moment, I felt as if I am in India because majority of the airport staff and also the local public was Indian….Sardarji to be specific. I found the management to be very poor as there was no one to guide you in a proper manner. Also if you are going anywhere via LHR airport then please take a notice of this…just carry only one luggage/bag with you as a cabin luggage because they don’t allow more than one baggage in the flight. This was sick as it is the airports’ policy and not the airlines’. As a result I had to go to the check-in counter of jet airways and got one of my carry-on bags checked in….for this I was given a 24 hr UK Visa. Strange but true.
For this whole procedure it took me some 2 hours but after that I was relaxed and then again for an hour did some surfing on the internet…I still had that TMobile Internet account activated. Also one of my friends had Yahoo Voice Chat a/c with the help of which we all called up our home to inform that we have reached LHR safely. And finally we boarded the Jet Airways flight 9W 119 at around 9:20 AM which took off at 9:55AM….and there begins my final voyage towards my country…INDIA.
