Five hours of flight and I have started to feel a bit uncomfortable by the world of silence and slumber around me. Even the sharp cries of two competing kids sitting at opposite ends have muted. The flock of passengers onboard this flight poses an average age of 55, or maybe 65, but above a certain figure both are immaterial. My fantasy of having a hottie seated next to me has not been fulfilled this time either but luckily enough the seat is empty and I am sitting comfortably like a wadera in his smuggled pajero.
Leaving London I felt the slightest sense of attachment. I was surprised even to feel it but one does tend to like the place after living there for about a year. Maybe it was the thought of missing those tanned legs. I am not sure. I will realize after 10 days.
The journey began after an uncomfortable move-and-wait before getting in the takeoff mode. Fifteen minutes passed and I was out with my laptop typing feverishly in the 3 hours that my laptop would last. I managed to do exactly what I planned with time to spare. In the last 2 hours I started reading a fiction, a political drama, which is intriguing but I don’t intend to get too involved in it which would ruin the days ahead.
Having absolutely nothing to do and almost 3 hours to spare I just popped in contact lenses to see how good I am. It was quick but what about removing them? So I even popped them out within a minute and discarded them. A success.
The inflight entertainment on this national carrier is nonexistent but the food was simply awesome.
As time passes the sense of excitement continues to grow. I have met my dad twice in the past one year but no one else in the family. It might feel a bit odd. How might have things changed? It will be interesting for sure. One thing I am NOT looking forward to is unwanted comments from people on my health and looks and how they have changed even if there is no variation at all. And neither am I in any mood to answer any questions regarding my future. I am not answerable, not if I dont want. And I dont. As I continue to kill time, I will sign off here hoping to be able to have time to post this within a day. I wish there was wifi in here. Ahh….life without internet sucks!
