May 21 2006, the day when imaginations and dreams on USA and trip in flight came true. Yes, on this day I started my first business trip to America.
My trip started from Chennai, the capital of TamilNadu, the trip ended at Boston via Frankfurt. I said a bye with tears to my wife and my baby and still I was happy at a corner of my heart that I am going to America and most importantly a journey in flight. After completing all initial formalities and a long wait, entered the economy class of Lufthansa, frankly speaking the odor inside the flight triggered my flashback of all the imagination that I had about a plane. People sitting around me where praying for a safe take off and I was speaking to myself why you fools praying to god when you are traveling on a machine designed and operated by human.
I traveled to the past, which is a present for the citizens of the part of world that I flue through. Plane landed in Frankfurt after 9hrs of travel, after coming out of the tunnel I realized now I am an alien. That was a 6hrs long wait for the flight from Frankfurt to Boston.
Again my journey started from Frankfurt. The plane about to take off, Captain of the flight applied a big brake at the time of take off. Everything shaken up, fire engines rushing in from all the direction, announcement came in from captain everything is normal there is a technical fault that got identified before take off. Plane was taken back to deck and now I realized why people where praying to god at the time of take off. But still it is because of captain’s skill all of us got saved.
In the next flight we again started the journey. Before starting the their was a funny announcement came in “The flight is ready for check in and HOPE it will take off”, all of us where smiling.
Another 8hrs, their comes Boston. After clearing the immigration I realized that I am in a city where worlds greatest business and technical schools are there. All the measurement changes KM to Miles and KG to Lbs. God take the conversion table and a calculator; from airport it was 40miles to my hotel. Reached Comfort suits, went to bed but as it was summer the sun still shining at 8PM.
During the stay I realized and got attracted to “Freedom is not Free”.
