Some Indian Coffee Sir !!

Was dreaming and suddenly heard this voice, got up thinking was in dream and confirmed that am in my usual Indian hotel drinking a Tea, unfortunately no, Rajendra was sitting beside me and was still sleeping, the Monitor in front was showing time as 6:25 and the airhostess was serving the tea for the passengers with her french accented english and in one of the most beautiful tones i have heard, the wine i had early in the night had worked on to give some good sleep, even in the small space i had for sleep.

The Panel before me was playing some documentary about the Casablanca, the Lover of Venice and its history and soon in few minutes we were flying over venice. and the time was 7:00 AM and soon the breakfast was going to be served, and thought of washing up my teeth and getting fresh and if i thought i thought i needed to wait till france to get my first culture shock, i was for a surprise, i was greeted by the Toilet Papers !!!, i will censor the details here :).

The breakfast was served around 8:30 AM, and i was ready for another shock, and was really coming to terms that i am getting out of india now, the breakfast served was some Juice, Small bread and Jam and in the corner there were 3 puris of size of Panipuris and a pack of Fruit Yogurt !!!!!, with some onion preparation !!. with great difficultly i finished it and was waiting for coffee and thought atleast i will have some good coffee, well i was in for surprise, the airhostess asked if i want indian tea or the normal tea, i was afraid for the French made indian tea and thought normal tea sounds better and asked for it and tea i got, a cup of Black tea with ice cubes and a small pack with nestle label on it. and some french name on it, i didn't know what todo with that thing and kept is aside and had the black tea with sugar, later i came to know that micro packet was supposed to be some kind of milk !! and i suppose to mix that cold thing into my hot cup of tea !!. After the breakfast, i tried to sleep again and was unable to since all the passengers were awake now and moving around. Beside my seat one couple was sitting who were from india, and the women in here mid 30s, who decided that now she is not an indian and started discussing in some rubbish english accent with here husband. i really feel sick by seeing these kind of people on the front seat in front of them were a girl and boy from some software comapny. the girl was looking nervous and at the same time looked on top of the world on here trip :) and in my front was lady who was from bangalore with here child, who was with big eyes was enjoying the sky outside the window. I joined him in exploring the outside sky for few minutes, seeing the clouds hovering below the our flight like a big sea of white foam. Soon we heard the announcement from the pilot, telling that we will be soon landed in paris and wishing us all. We tied our seat belts asnd soon enough the landscape of France was visible.

The initial view was very surprising, miles and miles of green feilds with very few houses, i was expecting outside paris to be like full of big constructions, but i was for a surprise !!. Soon the flight got landed and after 10 mins wait, we were ready to get down. The Stairs were attached to the plane and we started climbing down and soon, i got the first taste of the cold weather there, it was not too cold, but kind of pleasant, and there was bus waiting outside for taking us to the Terminal and we boarded it and i saw the first Left driven vehicle. while going in the Bus, i had a look outside at the airport it was too huge !! and it took us more than 20 Mins to reach the terminal, the plane were parked like cars !! and Rajendra told me this was one of the biggest airports in the world. We soon reached the immigration counter and surprisingly it took us only few minutes to come out of the check in and reach the Baggage counter. Our luggage were safely there for us to collect and soon we started for the exit, hoping to find STIE sent driver and there he was standing with a board with our names on it, The driver was french, but luckily we didn't have to tell him the route :) , we soon boarded the car and soon we were on our way to Pacy.
