Life has different phases...birth, death, marriage...n so many...but for me...everyday is a new day..a new phase, a day full of hopes, wishes, deeds & so on & so forth.
Leaving home after vacation was a little emotional for me...I dont know why do I cry whilst leaving home. I was mentally prepared a week before my vacation was about to end...but I couldn't control my emotions whilst leaving home. What is the reason??Attachment???Hmmm....I easily get attached to like-minded people...but sometimes its too much. I need to resist from such *attachments* unless, I will have to invite some disasters in my life & so-called *friends* who uses me & in the end echeat on me..something, I need to change in myself very soon...being selective of friends...even an enemy is better than such a friend.
Anyways...life has pretty changed after coming back to Dubai. Now..I am trying to be little more calm, get less hyper, less reactive ..n many many things...LESS!!!
Again I am trying to be more focussed now...remember Chef Shetty "Focus karo..tum chef ho,", which I have been losing before going on vacation...but now..its time. Opportunities like this come less..why not???To focus on other stuff...entire life is there...but right now...its the career. Some of the well-wishers advised my parents on me marrying someone...but I am not desperate neither interested now...the soil beneath me must be strong enough....
At home...met my old astrologer...he is really old enough...really....n he said many stuffs about me....well, I can foresee a lot of things....but I have given myself 2 years time....either make...or break!!! I dont wish to live long...though my astrologer assures a wealthy & healthy long life...I just want to live a couple of years...n then I want "Maa to break my chains & make me free....."

On the way back to Dubai...
Yes...I had to come back to Dubai...well, 20 days were pretty short...but thats how I wanted it to be..
Leaving home has always been a little emotional moment...when I was about to leave home, I touched my mother's feet...n she started crying..n seeing her..I also started crying...
Well...the vacation was filled with bitter-sweet memories...mostly, bitter I guess, less *sweet* memories..but, anyways, I cooked a lot for my friends, relatives, & family...
I left on time ...but with little worries, since, I did web check-in.But alas, on reaching the airport, I got to know that the flight scheduled at 1:45 pm from Kolkata to Mumbai is delayed by 1 hr. Gosh..thats bad...since I dont like sitting in the airport for hours, unless, it has some fun stuff...or something nice to check out.It was a cloudy day+it has been raining since last night, can be one of the major reasons for the flights operating late. Anyways, after boarding the aircraft, I was again feeling emotional..[I dont know when will I get over it...]. It takes around 2:30 hrs from Kolkata to Mumbai & since the flight departed from Kolkata at 1500 hrs, approx., it's arrival time will be 1730 hrs..n then the flight to Dubai is scheduled at 1850 hrs....well,I like taking risks..but it was too risky this time. If the flight arrives late to Mumbai..then what happens????
Keeping my fingers crossed...after having the meal in the Jet, I fell asleep...
I got up when the flight was shaking a bit...yes, lots of clouds around, which made the visibility almost zero & the journey pretty rough. It was almost 1700 hrs & I was praying to God..let it reach on time. Else....
Finally, I got down at 1745 hrs & proceeded to Jet Airways counter for further assistance, since I will have to move from Domestic Terminal to International terminal. Fortunately, they had coach service & unfortunately, it took 15 minutes. Once I entered the international terminal, there was a long queue for the immigration. It was 1815 hours.And it was getting dramatic..when I was standing in a long queue....
When I was about to go to the immigration officer with my boarding pass & passport, I approached a ground staff of Jet Airways, if he can expedite the process, he suggested me visiting his team leader, who is sitting somewhere else..
I left the queue & went to the team leader, & to my awe, she was not even willing to assist me, initally. The excuse she was trying to give me that you need to report before 75 minutes of departure. Umm..well, it was not my fault...its your airlines that arrived late to Mumbai....not I!!..Usually, I dont get hard with women, but this time, I was strong n dominant!!!And finally, she got my checked-in baggages from aircraft & handed over to me & booked me a seat for Dubai, but by Air India.It was scheduled to leave at 20:30 hrs.I hurried upto board the aircraft & the flight left at 2100 hrs....
I was pissed off due to all these delays, however, enjoyed watching a movie on my way back to Dubai, "Karthick calling Karthick".It was a kind of a thriller...
Finally, at 23:15 hrs, my feet touched the land of Dubai again....n after passport controls, I headed to the Dubai Duty Free directly...yes, I need alcohol. It is more due to cooking than drinking and then collecting my checked-in baggage...back to my 2nd home...in Dubai....
Oh yea...work on the following day...gotto sleep early....at 100 hrs.
