On board to GUADEC 2004

I am now in Chennai :-) after my first ever flight ... was an awesome experience. I got the seat in the last row, which reminded me the strict conditions we would be having in buses to *not* take the last seat [ though i guess, it was nothing different than going in a bus ]. The best part was leaving Bangalore in the day light, just around sunset and then landing in Chennai, seeing it dressed in beautiful lights below. That was a real wonderful sight, i would not be able to forget it ...

It was amazing to feel the plane start off in full speed dragging you back a bit ... and then lifting you up .. and up and up ... We did get some jolts or may be mild turbulence, but then that was also an experience. It was an Indian Airlines flight ... :-) ... But then, it took the plane about 10 minutes to go high up and another 10 minutes for us to finish off the light snacks and in just about 30 minutes, we touched down at Chennai, at 7:30 pm ... [ We started from Bangalore at 7pm ] ... Looks like its now time for me to board the Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt and then on to Stavenger and then on to Kristiansand, Norway !!!
