UK Diaries : THE FINAL CHAPTER - Comedy Circus

Nov 28th was a hush hush visit to London. Got up at 5 am, took a train to King's Cross and walked a lot... :) I planned to take a BIG BUS TOUR there and it all worked well. I was back to Leeds by late evening.London does live upto its name of a good holiday destination. It was fascinating. So I started packing on 29th and as expected I had a lot of extra stuff so ran in the rain to buy a new suitcase. Packed till late nite on 29th, did not sleep, got ready at 2 am in the morning on 30th and rushed to catch my flight. Paid for extra luggage :|. Fun is that all the passengers in the flight from Amsterdam were Indians and mainly Ludhiana, Amritsar and Patiala-bound... Why I mentioned it is that a couple of funny things happened...Pehle toh a sardarji (who seemed to be well educated) started fighting with a guy 1/3rd of his size over the hand-baggage space. In his words "Main apna bag tere sarr pe rakhun kya?". I was a lil taken aback with his gunda gardi... aur haan!! awesome is somebody stole a woman's make-up kit and her cosmetics from the handbaggage security counter :D :D and the woman kept announcing in Punjabi abt it and well, we all cud not help but laugh at the irony of the situation. Phoren ghoomney aa gaye par kuch logon ki aadat nahi badli dusron ka samaan uthaaney ki woh bhi make-up kit:P Finally the guy sitting next to me was a theth haryanvi and he pretended to be oh-so-cool with me and I ignored him and slept with my mouth open (signature isshtyle)... I am sure that was enuff of a turn-off for him. Another guy next to him, got compeltely drunk on the flight and kept blabbering abt how awesome and rich he was... :) One thing I never understand is, ki jab flight rukti hain... and the crew specifically mentions that please remain seated... people wud stand up start picking their luggage as if they can bang open the plane doors. I asked my copassenger-- "Do you need to take ur hand bag right now or we can wait till the door opens?".. he replied -- "madam, laagey hain aap abhi bhi US mode mein ho... ghaney rule follow karey ho"... hahaha.. Mainey socha beta... nikal gayi herogiri... aa gaye apni pey... :D I said-- "naah! aap aaram se bheed mein jaaiye aur dhakka khaaiye, I have no issues, par tameez India mein bhi bahut hain, uskey liye US mode mein nahi aana padta"... :P Dekho yaar, I toh ji love India par koi chori karey toh grrrrr... Airport pe a guy from the ground staff zabardasti offered his help with my luggage, I told him ki koi zarurat nahi.. fir bhi... and later, after dropping the trolley off at the parking he says with a greedy look "madam chai paani"... Mera paara chadd gaya.. I said -- "pehle toh I did not ask u to help me.. dusri baat mujhey lagaa apni duty kar rahey ho... aur teesri baat pehle boltey paisey logey toh main manaa nahi karti par CHORI mat karo... Dikhaawa kar rahey they help karney ka aur mann mein chor"... toh woh bola-- "zabardasti nahi hain"... I said --"Koi faayda nahi..chori chori hain.. yeh lo paisey aur agli baar aisey dhokha mat karna kisi ke saath, sach bolkey help karogey toh bhi koi manaa nahi karega"... Saara mood kooda ho gaya mera... I donno wat u guys think abt it par I cant stand wen ppl take u for a ride... Saala! Khair... mom-dad se milkey bahut mazaa aaya aur chaa se bhi... I told them dher saari kahaaniya abt my trip, abt the help karney waala chor and the ladney waaley sardarji :D Ghar aayi.. realised my 600 euros were missing... fir realised ki Novel mein rakhkhey they... 3 ghantey dhoonda and found it... huh! Everyone is happy abt their gifts.. so it means all shopping and suffering is worth it :P Par ab meri gold ring kho gayi jo mom ne di thi... ghar mein hi kahin.. I am so tired of searching for it... upar se ajeeb sa jet-lag...Fir bhi...;) khushi ki baat yeh hain ki.. I am back home with my family and happy-rustam... :) Welcome home, Harshita!! Aur ji aap sabkey kya haal??
