The worst ever halt...

I was to halt at Bangalore airport on my return to Dubai, must say it is so disappointing and definitely the worst ever point to choose as a travel zone specially if you flight is delayed... To begin with, have you ever come across an airport built with large and ugly pipes all over the ceiling? Fine, dont look up, but once you walk to the check in counter its actually dirty!!Fine, its your luggage that sat on those travellators....but once you wait for the immigration to open, there is a phone booth that is devoid of an operator- result is you can't even let your loved ones know that your flight is delayed.

Not yet New Year...

Well ya, happy new year-start of 2007; but for me it doesn't feel all that great till now , so this time, not going by the gregorian calendar....my new new year should ideally begin this 15th. I made a trip to Singapore and had a great time with sis and bro in law...we explored tree top walking, a DHL balloon that takes you 250m high, temples, Vivo city, China town, Little India(ofcourse), Sentosa , Clarke Quay , a ride on Singapore river, Discovery center(fun) and the botanical gardens....so quite a bunch we covered. I was lucky to meet a great friend from college times and see her little one and her family, meet cousins and relatives. Managed to borrow couple of books and read them on rainy days and watched some movies....Overall, great , simple great time at the end of 2006! Need to work on my album now!
