It was moving slowly and I was sitting there with my seat belt on, smiling and a thrill that filled me up. Then the sound of the engines raised and it was gaining speed. The speed raised my excitement level as well and I was smiling trying hard to hide from the fellow passengers that it was my "first time". And when it finally did take-off....waaaaaoooowwww....it was wondrous.
It has been quite long a wait to write this one but couldn't have waited more. Just want to pen down all the excitement that I have been through in the past two days. As a kid I always used to wave my hand at every air plane I saw in the sky with a big smile on my face and an enthusiasm in my heart. And again there was this same smile on my face day before but this time I was up in the sky on my first flight gazing down at the city from above.
I rather thought it would be quite dramatic when I would be boarding my first flight...with tears in my eyes saying bye to my loved ones at the airport but it was something very different. The excitement didn't let me sleep the night before. But I did managed to get some sleep and at one go of the alarm I got up in the morning at 0400 hours. My beau was to come to pick me up from home and drop me at the airport. I could sense his excitement as well but he had been disappointed the day before and it was because I was leaving on the day of my birthday...the real birthday. He had plans for this day to make me feel special. However, I had to leave for Bangalore for work on this day. I had cut the cake at night with my family. I anyhow felt special and pampered in his presence. He treats me just like his child giving me instructions and asking me to be careful at every point.
We reached the airport. He helped me keep my luggage on the trolley and accompanied upto the gate. It was now when I was supposed to add that emotional touch to it saying bye with tears and giving him a hug. But instead of that I was more worried about finding the directions at the airport. That was really stupid of me. But I did gave him that sweet good-bye hug when reminded by him. I entered the airport and I had wonder struck eyes. Clumsily I was handling all my luggage and didn't even know how to tie up the tags on the bags. They kept falling. While waiting to be boarded I called up my beau. Then we got the call for boarding the flight.
Again walking through those passages towards the plane, and then entering the plane, locating my seat, everything seemed so dream-like. The view that I saw from that height was beautiful. It was in dreams that I have thought of being among the clouds. Although I was very conscious of fellow passengers getting to know that it was my first flight and I didn't wanted to look stupid in front of them but all this couldn't just stop me from grabbing the camera in my bag and capturing those amazing views. The Sunlight falling on those snow like clouds and the tiny structures down couldn't have been missed. I even saw a circular rainbow with the shadow of the plane falling just in its center. The camera couldn't capture it as it was quite light but its captured in my memory.
It was a 3hour flight so I went to sleep as I had no interesting co-passengers to talk to. On landing when I switched my phone on, I started receiving the birthday wishes from my friends.
It was an amazing and exciting start to this day. I hope to find much more in this beautiful city and completing my work assignment successfully.
