Traveling to the United States

Having worked in IT industry, I know how many people dream and struggle to get selected for onsite jobs

Well ,my journey was unexpected and too fast.Got a H4 visa after marriage which allowed me to travel to US

My parents told about my mischief's in a flight when I was a child.I could never recollect those.

I am travelling to a different country and this is my first flight experience.

Having watched actor Madhavan's flight experiences in the tamil film "Nala damayanthi", I made a note on my mind as to not make any of those mistakes :)
  1. Coffee - the air hostess served something which was just like "black coffee".She added milk and still it looked black. OMG!! Half a glass of this and I ended up feeling nauseous.
  2. Safety Guide -  Little did anyone care about the safety guide which was given. I am very sure that I was the only person to have read the guide line by line.(Having said that, please don't ask me anything about the safety tips, cant remember!!!  :P )
  3. Food -   Lip-smacking,delicious food was served. I had already stuffed my tummy very well in my previous flight and still could stuff more. Butter croissants were too yummy.
  4.  Entertainment - Watched movies in different indian languages (Subtitles helped !!)
  5. Co-passengers -   Enjoyed the short talk with a student who resided in NYC and also met few Chennaites from the IT industry
Many passengers were taking selfies with the air- hostess and posting it in FB. Few of them were reading books and there were few more who were sleeping or just siting erect with eyes open:P

Though I was excited about my first flight experience, I was equally afraid.Previous night, I had googled about long duration flights and most of the results were scary.From blood clots,leg pain to jet lag and economy class syndrome, Google showed me all .

Lesson for life: Never research too much on Google, rather experience it !! :)
