Entry to doha
Reached Doha intl' airport, but unfortunately my baggage decided to stay back @ bahrain and see the artificial islands
With all the joy of seeing some arabic chicks we got down @ Doha international airport and went to the baggage area. We waited there while all the baggages were out. But unfortunately praga's and my bag were missing, whilst the other two got thier baggages. Man it was a terrible feel. Imagine you come to a new country and you don't have your baggage??? So with a heavy heart went and logged a case with the airport authority. They informed us that they will let us know when the baggage will be found. So we left the airport and reached our apartment. Man i was dead tired - and was pondering over the series of unfortunate incidents that happened during my travel -
1. did not get direct flight from bangalore to doha & had to come to chennai. For this i came in brundavan express train which leave bangalore @ 2.30 pm and reaches chennai @ 8.30 pm. But then near Avadi, the train engine developed problems & would not proceed. So the engine driver had to summon a another engine to come all the way from chennai;-( , so it was late by 2 hrs...
2. reached office, no dinner.. had to rush to the last closing shop for a quick bite. I had no choice but to eat what he had
3. came back to office to get my visa and travel itenary printed, but the network would not put me in domain;-( by the time i figured out with all IP's i realized i still had to configure the printer... Damn... it took a while for me to do that . After which i gave a print command only to find out that the paper tray of the printer was empty :-( . I had to look around like a thief for some paper and eventually found it under a chair :-( .So by the time i had my documents intact it was 1.00 am.
4. The only thing that happened on time was my alarm which was set @ 2.30 am :-) , btb there was no sleep in that 1.5 hrs- just imagine - chennai & no AC. I know u'd figure out this.
5. Taxi came by @ 3.00 am and i left for the airport enroute to pick up Guru. While i waited for him, i saw a guy @ 3.15 am in the morning all decked up in formals ;-) and that was Guru.
6. On reaching airport we had to wait for a long time for another college- Praga.. In the baggage check area , i just hit the limit - 20.8 kg while the limit was 20 Kg. So kinda just got through.
7. Horrible looking hostess on the flight. I even did not get the requested airplugs. Luckily i had some cotton buds with me and that helped
8. Mid air i realized that we are going to Middle east where water was costlier than petrol :-). I had to beg plead the hostess for a glass of water.
9. The plane took off late and so landed late.. nothing to complain. We had less than 1 hr for transit, so did not get to see much of bahrain...
10. After this ..... the story of bagage
