My Flight from Bangalore to Nagpur...

Any experience that has the word "first time" associated with it has alwasy been vvery special to me...:)
This being my vvery first blog will again be vvery special to me :)
Dad working at a respectable post had travelled by air ..but then since v had a middle class upbringing v never followed a lavish lifestyle....i still remember bugging my dad for hours asking him to describe what all happens when u travel by air..:) how do u feel when the flight takes off..how do u feel when u see out from the window??
Every question and the answer received wud just make me more and more curious abt the experience...:)
However dad was always admant about not paying for airfares since he felt it was way too expensive..and out of our affordable bracket...
The day finally came when i booked my first air tickets from bangalore to nagpur..Air Deccan..that is all wht i cud afford..:)
Me being hyper by nature..and alwasy overexcited abt the tinniest achievements in my life....but still i was not that vvery excited about the whole affair of travelling by plane...
Now came the day when i finally went to the airport to board the flight...the first sight of the HUGE HUGE machine was enchanting for sure..but not the feeling that i wanted to experience ..
Hmm i was wondering is the flight fare seriously worth?? :(
Neways..i got into the plane..it took off..i cud see all the tall buildings reducing their size..cud see the huge ulsooor lake turn into a water drop...umm but the thght struck me again...is the fligt fare really worth??something is missing....m not getting that sense of satisafaction which i usually get when i acheive something that's really important to me....
Hmm neways....
Then came the nagpur airport...i got out of the plane..with the same "not-satisfied" feeling... :)
Got my baggage..
and came towards the exit door....
There at a distance of few meters saw my proud parents standing and watching their darling, pampered , adorable daughter walk out of the aiport...with the air tckts in her hand that she had paid for...the look in my dad's eyes ..the expression on my dad's face made me say to myself "IT WAS WORTH :)"
No Words from the oxford dictionary can decsribe the expression i excanged with my parents ..
but yeah they were worth a miliion bucks :)
Hence wud conclude by saying ..As expected .."my first flight"  was a memorable experience..
an experience that i will cherish for the rest of my life..
It will stay with me forever and ever...:)
