Experience of my first flying Part - 1

I receive the call the before day at 4 pm that I have to be there in Bangalore by 9.30 am in the morning for the interview the next day ....I had no choice but to book a flight to go as I had no time.......went to the office and informed my boss at 6 pm I had to Bangalore and took a print of the tickets that I had taken ....long and having 8 pages of instructions and I was circumspectly and excitedly having a look at all the pages in the ticket....
....In the evening went to the office and informed my colleagues ..I am leaving for Bangalore.....spoke to my TL and said with slow words in low tone "nenu interview ki veltuna sir Bangalore lo repu poddune"..(I am going to Bangalore....the next morning....for the interview) and...3 am in the morning and I had to start for home...took the printed tickets and locked my system and started for home in the cab after taking the wishes of my colleagues in the dark of the night in Hyderabad where people still roam around....with a feeling of excitement of flying for the first time and it was all about the interview which I was going to attend and thinking of how I would be ready for the same but was never less excited about boarding the flight for the first time.....
Slept at 3.30am in the morning after reaching home, went to sleep thinking about the whole thing as I had no sleep for the last 3 days....4.45am....in the morning and I had started for the airport...the darkness of the night still lingering and the birds chirping all over the place and slowly after taking blessing from my mother... and grand ma who was ....with an optimism that i would do well.....by 5.15 am I was in the airport on my dad's scooter who accompanied me to the airport....the after parking the scooter went into the airport as we had 2 terminals the International and Domestic and there are arrival and departure....I briskly walked towards one of the entrances and asked where to go in to board the Air Deccan flight "Air
Deccan flight ke liye kahaan jana hai" as he just showed the direction which when went was a wrong...after 10 mins of investigation...we got to know from which I have move in...a bit of excitement for me while was going for the security check.....had a long line of people waiting for the same to complete and I was one of them......trying to understand when will be there a line less INDIA where work will done faster.....meanwhile got a call from father anxiously.....asking for the where abouts and as I told him I am at the security check and will call once i am at the aircraft....and meanwhile my turn came where I gave my ticket and was asked for a proof of identity...showed with pride my recently received PAN card...and had to wait for the flight.....and by 5.30 AM I was at the gate to board the flight and the security personnel stops me to have the baggage checked for the security tag.....the stop was such effective that the intensity with which I was going to board the bus to the flight was dashed....and saying what a plight to board a flight...I returned back to the security check and has the suitcase have the security baggage added.....then slowly walked through to the bus which was as if eagerly waiting for us to take the flight.....and when I saw the flight I had one thought from Munna bhai...."aila yeh plane to shuru hote hi khatam hogaya re"...because the flight I was going to travel was a ATR and not a one which has jet engines....slowly I boarded the plane and tough the plane was a small one.. the excitement grew as the beautiful air hostess welcomed us into the plane and guided us to our seat and my heart was beating in excitement to see the flight flying...and in no time they started showing the safety measures.....5.50 am….now the point comes where the pilot of the flight Mr. Ali greets us and tells us the how is the weather outside and the conditions are perfect to fly.....slowly the propellers start and the I was just at the seat beside them....the flight slowly took a turn towards the runway and waited for the it to be cleared....and I observed that one of the air hostess was one of my school mates......I was very happy to see her...meanwhile the flight was slowly moving towards the runway....it was a dream come true for me......
