muse


I'm off, living out of a suitcase for the next two weeks! Woke up way too early on Friday morning for my own good - and set about packing my bags. After a couple of years with more time spent shuttling between airports in Asia, than at home - I have the art of packing down to a quick bit of work that can be accomplished in 15 minutes - irrespective of whether the trip is for a day or a month!

Arrived at the airport a little past 10pm, 45 minutes before the Silkair flight, and was told that boarding had been closed. Whined, pleaded and begged until they let me on. Then had a little trouble getting through immigration - the official decided that I looked sufficiently different from the photograph in the passport - mostly because of my new found affection for facial hair. Was allowed to board the flight after having signed five times over, and having given the distilled essence of an autobiography - Where do you belong to? Oh… Kerala? Why were you born in Assam then? Ah… you're an army brat! Why are you in Hyderabad? Ah… what kind of work? How long have you been here? A year? What do you think of our city?... And so on.

All's well that ends well - and I'm up in the air now!
