Reached Airporti Di Milano at 0640 hours thus completing the first leg of my journey. The flight landed before time. Passengers clapped. Everyone giggled. The 'made in Italy' people went berserk adding 'o's' at the end of every word.
With the next flight scheduled at 1040 hours, I settled down and picked up a few 'hints and proposals' form to scribble. Here is how it went...
0710 hours
Recollections of last night - I am so glad Debbie, Pipi, Nishith, Vaibhav, Aman & Mallu came to see me off. It made the 'going-away' less traumatic and full of guffaws till the end. I hope Ma gets happy soon. I know it will take her a while to get used to me being so far away, but I am sure she will bounce right back. For Debbie I wish all the luck in the world and pray she finds her 'road' soon. It amuses me at times to feel so protective about her but I am and I think I will be, for a while. Kevin and Aman, lovable, huggable, dependable. I hope we stay in touch to laugh at, with each other.
0745 hours
Waiting for 'them' to announce the gate number for my flight to Boston. Sittitng around by myself in a relatively empty airport scribbling on suggestion forms and looking at random people is quite the fun.
0800 hours
(On learning my flight to Boston is cancelled) Ok, so this is not that much fun.
