My first Flight

It was around 4:30pm and i was waiting for a reply from my supervisor regarding my request for the early release for the day and i opened my mail box but as expected i dint get any mail. Then i moved to Mr. Rizuwan's room to ask for a leave and after having a talk with the supervisor he allowed me to leave but asked me apply for a half day leave. At 5:30pm i left my office with full of excitement and enthusiasm as I was going to board my first flight after 3 hours. I took a bus and reached Dhaula kuan by 7:00 pm and reached airport at 7:40pm. I got through the security check and reached gate no 20 from where my flight was expected to ply. The airport wasnt thet great as i thought would be, it was as normal as a metro station in Delhi and was quite disappointed about it. I checked out few girls there and discovered a nice chick she was also standing near gate no 20, quite natural that i wished her to be on my flight only but soon the wish crashed as she went to the boarding gate for Mumbai and i was going to Hyderabad as I had to attend a interview at Oracle, Hyderabad. The person at the gate was calling people again and again for Mumbai and i was eagerly waiting for my turn to come as i could see real airplanes though the glasses. At last at 8:30 he called people for Hyderabad and i rushed to the gate as i didnt want to miss any moment. Then we boarded a bus, which took us to the airplane. We finally reached the place where our airplane was "parked". I had heard the the wheels of the airplanes are as big as a normal human being's height but it wasn't that big. A gentleman was standing there who as checking the tickets and was telling the passengers, from which gate to board. I headed towards the gate and and boarded the flight, the energy level inside me was very high and I was very excited as everything was new to me. The air hostess welcomed us and directed us towards our seats. But i got a middle seat and i wanted a window seat as it was my first journey in a flight. Then i requested the uncle beside me for the window seat and he agreed by luck. I stared wandering through the window and few airplanes were moving, they seemed like toy planes to me. I was enjoying each and every moment and didn't want miss anything so my all senses were wide open. And there i heard a announcement that the flight is going to take-off in some time and kindly tie your seat belts. The air hostess then demonstrated us about the security measure to take during our journey. They all were acting like robot, each and every movements of them was synchronized, i had never seen such synchronization even in greatly choreographed group dances. Then our airplane started to move and reached the runway during this time the speed was very slow. After sometime the flight started again and this time the speed was very high and soon i saw that we were leaving the ground and we took off. I dont know but a sense of happiness was there in my body i was feeling my body to be light. Slowly ans slowly we were moving high and high and was trying to see the delhi city from an eagles view. The airplane was taking left turns and the airplane was bending accordingly and i was able to feel the motion of the airplane. Soon we went very high and nothing was visible from that place. Then i thought, lets concentrate on the beauty inside the plane, there were few air hostess nicely dressed had nice make up on their face and i like it. They were beautiful with a great build, figure and the way they were carrying the beauty was good. I started roaming inside the flight and didnt find anything different from an bus but it was a airplane. And in no time the pilot announced that we are about to reach and he had inquired at Hyderabad that the weather is clear. but suddenly he announced that the weather is not good and our airplane started trembling but i was still happy and excited whereas others were fearing a bit. The reason behind my happiness was that i saw one more phase in the flight's life cycle, else i would have missed this trembling part of the flight and i thanked god for that. But soon everything got well and the pilot again announced that we are reaching Hyderabad in 10 mins and for me it was like "Oh! shit , we reached". I wanted to stay for few more hours at the flight, i hadnt explored the journey to the full, but couldn't help it. The plane landed at Hyderabad, but the run up after landing was very less as expected. I was leaving the airport with still that happiness and excitement in my body about the journey. I moved out of the airport in no time and searched for my bus to reached the town.

The journey was very good I really loved each and every aspect of the journey, I tried to explore as much i could in the journey, and i have nothing to repent that i didn't do this or that, which i could.
See the beauty, I covered the 30 hours journey of train in 2 hours and was as fresh as i had been attending any interview in Delhi only.
