Blogging in the airport???

Well, well, well...another IIITtian went down with the blog fever. In the past 1 month...quite a few of my friends started blogging...couple of them very interesting I must say!! One of them even made me famous :)) Thanks (really??) to Badri a.k.a Apocalypse...people know me better as Sloggerika rather than Rahul Sarika. Why Badri?? Just because I sat in my room 24/7, why did it occur to you that I was slogging, especially CO?? If I really had the capacity to slog...I would have been expecting a decent GPA this sem. My intermediate total of 420 (nice number eh??) would have been somewhere close to 450 at least?? Like I care about these exams anyway...was just trying to support my arguement :P). So what was I doing in my room if I wasn't slogging?? Well, I was playing Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike, during the exams as well...yep, that’s true!!! I am so damn addicted to this cool game that I can't imagine even a single day without playing it.

So, as I was sitting in the Frankfurt airport waiting for my flight to Newark (5 hrs. of waiting :(( ), I got this idea of beginning my blog instead of starting in summer. I was like...’free internet + 4 hrs laptop battery = some useful work?? ‘The journey until now has been comfortable, better than the experience I had in Air India! My friends, Rohith, Shashank, Samba and senior#2 a.k.a Yaso (senior#1 being KAP) accompanied me to the airport. It was so nice of them to see me off, imagine waiting for a fight ALONE for 2Hrs!!! We talked about the usual stuff, being ourselves as usual. We happened to see Jayaram sir too; he must have come to see his relatives off. He is such a cool guy. He is one of those few people who need not demand respect, they get it automatically.

Sooo...coming back to the airport...my flight was scheduled to leave at 0120Hrs...After saying goodbyes to my friends, I entered the airport for check-in. Immigration and Customs followed check-in and finally I was in the departure hall, waiting for my plane. Due to "unknown" reasons, the flight got delayed by 45 min. Finally, I boarded the plane and found myself sitting next to an average looking gal ;). It wasn’t even my seat...a mother came up to me and requested me to exchange seats with her daughter. Shwetha, that was her name, was a BTech grad in Telecommunications from Bangalore. It was her first trip on a plane and was kind of scared. I helped her to get familiar with the procedures and stuff. She then told me that she was going to Boston; to her husband (I was like, ‘WHAT???? OHHH...OKK...’ she looked too young to be married!).

We talked about a lot of things until it was time for the in-flight movie "Spanglish". I heard a lot about this movie but never got the chance to see it. So this was going to be treat for me. Last time they screened "Kal Ho Naa Ho", which I had already seen and was in no mood for shedding tears: P. Spanglish is a cool movie! The movie is about a Mexican mother, Paz Vega, who tries her best and eventually succeeds to preserve the Mexican culture in her daughter while living among "whites" (really mixed up family) after getting out of the miserable life in Mexico. This is a problem faced by us Indians as well, my parents had to face this problem...every parent does....we are talking about “THE USA” here!!! The actress was gorgeous...very very very beautiful. The cast also had Adam Sandler (that guy from Big Daddy and 50 1st Dates with Drew Barrymore??). The movie was a good one...I must get my friends to watch it :)...

A long nap followed the movie and woke up in time for breakfast (by the way, the food sucked big time, except for the paneer...yummy!!!) with the usual omlette and fruit. Then they screened a Hindi movie, starring Kareena Kapoor, Fardeen Khan and that hero from Ishq Vishq Pyaar Vyaar (I don't know this name, some XXX). The story itself was sick...Fardeen khan, a hacker, steals Rs. 5.5 Billion (yeah right!!) which belong to a mafia don. To get that bad guy off his back, Fardeen and Kareena (apparently lovers) trap XXX in this scam. XXX recovers from a serious injury and kills Kareena for framing him for the robbery in the name of love. I think he dies in the end as well....I was too fed up with the movie to watch its stupid ending. Yuck!!!

Soon after that the plane landed in Frankfurt and Shwetha and I said good-bye to each other and went off in different paths (she was going to gate 28 and I was going to gate 31).Ahhh....so my first blog finally comes to an end...its 1010hrs now....German time....have to wait for another 2.5 hrs....damn!!! Could do with a McDonalds burger eh? And then pass the remaining time by going through Sairam's Chip and Digit magazines....

Really boring ...hope the second part of the journey is good and interesting...


*Apr 16th : I just found out that XXX = Shahid Kapoor....thanks to a crazy fan of his ;) LOL

Again, it wasn't your seat!!! How many times in your life will you exchange your seat with a person who was sitting next to a girl? First, with poor prohit and now with a mother.

aha you said good bye to each other and went in DIFFERENT PATHS. ni yabba
DIFFERENT PATHS enti bey ***** ?

And please even if you watch films, dont explain them in blogs.

ya It's really boring. I was so bored that I didn't read it without saying "ni yankamma"

Is there anyone left to exchange your seat with??

How many times will I exchange my seat??

FYI! It was purohit who came to me and asked me to exchange seats ok??

And here, the mother had twin daughters of which one got a seat beside me and the other beside Shwetha. So why seperate 2 sisters?

Don't you understand English?? (Oh yeah! You are in G4 right?? How the hell could I forget such a simple thing?) I did explain what "DIFFERENT PATHS" in the parenthesis next to it, are you blind "NIGHTRIDER" ?

And what is wrong with describing movies in blogs? I am just jottting down my opinions about the movie and maybe even try to help the readers to get an idea of the movie beforehand. DUH!!!

And I don't know who else is left to exchange my seat with, it is a looong life ;)

ni yabba pichi veshalu veyyaku. prohit ninnu adigaada? look don't tell stories. If that was the case why didn't you give him his seat when he asked you? Why didn't you go from I12 to ur seat (I forgot the number :P) atleast when attendance is taken and rohit was absent.

And where the hell in ur blog u mentioned that swetha had a twin sister? you said "It wasn’t even my seat...a mother came up to me and requested me to exchange seats with her daughter". My group4 english was unable to find the twin. So, I thought that u AGAIN exchanged seats to sit beside a girl.
coming "different paths". You said "we said goodbye to each other and went in different paths". It sounded as if you are talking like a bagna premika.
And everyody knows with whom you chat. I thinkkkkkkk they are also in grp4. And did you remember ur words on the day when grps are divided? when it came ur knowledge that u are in g1 and I am in g4 along with....

I ASKED you not to explain movies in the blog because I think (in my opinion which may be completly wrong) our blogs should contain our feelings but not film stories.
