Looking at the place where I left her, I couls see only my luggages but she- Nowhere! Puzzled!
வடாம் காயப்போடலையா வரதுக்கு முன்னாடியே ?- Tamil voice could then be heard from elsewhere at unknown place! Turning towards the end of voice source could be seen the Mother of Language, who else? There she was! Also could be seen a Tamil Lady with another young boy!Leaving all luggages, she had moved to them at the opposite Gate, attracted by her own language & culture. On enquiry, could come to know that she, accompanied by her second son, is also bound for Boston by the same flight, having arrived there from Delhi after us. Her first son is employed at Boston. Wherever our lady-folk travel at Global level, vadam, idli, dosa, etc. follow them! Remember, வாஷிங்டனில் திருமணம் !
On exchanging names & Addresses, it was now time for boarding our flight for which Passes with Seat Nos. had already been given at Mumbai along with Token slips for Checked-in luggages for receiving at Boston. Our seats were 54J & K, again at window side & adj. Departing at 13.40 Hrs, local time, we travelled for 7 Hrs 25 Mins, about to reach Boston at US-Eastern time, 15.05 Hrs.Light Meal soon on take-off followed by snacks in the evening, time was spent without watching TV Progs since there was no provision for such small TV screen like seen earlier during the flight to Paris. Parameters shown however in common screen while taking off & landing in.Just prior to landing, Air-hostess came to us & told to wait for all others to get down & then leave.Puzzled with evil thoughts for some time, asked her for what? She then again raised the question of need for wheel chairs. Politely told her- No!
Then came in the visibility of Boston!Then the Plane started shaking heavily with sound all of a sudden for some time. Little scared of any thing going erratic! Then it became stable & calm.Then followed the clapping of Passengers until landing smoothly.I could smell some thing went wrong initially but the Pilot managed it nicely to our relief- hence the clapping in token of appreciation. You can watch it, the final moments of anxiety/suspense captured in video please.
Another suspense-cum-anxiety soon followed, once our luggages were about to be checked out!
Can we look into it in our forthcoming Part-4 please?
Till then, BYE!
