quenching our thirst with hot cups of coffee from Café Coffee Day we made our way towards the security check-in counter. Though it was 6.45 in the morning, we had these stupid grins on our faces as we discussed our upcoming holiday with unconcealed excitement.As our airplane taxied on to the runway, gaining momentum every second I glanced out to see Mumbai whizz past me. The slight lurch of my stomach heralded the beginning of my flight to Bangalore! The pilot wished us a pleasant journey - with a put on accent I must say! As Mumbai dropped from our line of sight I looked in utter awe at the fluffy companions near my window.
The clouds caressed the plane and continued to give us company till we reached our destination. As we approached Bangalore the snow white effect gave way to glimpses of brown and green when I noticed the small fluffs casting small shadows on the landscape below. It gave one a very different feeling seeing clouds from above than below them. The shadows of the clouds gave a day and night effect on the landscape below which was a delight to watch! I even managed to get a pic of the plane’s shadow!! What was it about shadows that were fascinating me suddenly??
Dunno the answer to that one but it was a true joy to see them from way up above the clouds, above the hustle-bustle of everyday life, in the calmness of the clouds :-)The “fasten seat-belts” sign blinked on and we braced ourselves for the touchdown at Bangalore airport. Our holiday had started!!
