When I missed my…

People miss their train, they miss bus, they forget their things in Auto. But me.. I am a legend. You know what, people like me will always do outstanding things. I missed my flight. How.. This is actually very embarrassing time in my life. Everyone was laughing at me, some people were angry at me. I still don’t know why and how it happened. How could I? So many how's were there.

Let me try putting it in words for you. One fine day or evening I think, I planned with few friends to visit Washington DC. So I booked my flight till New York and from there bus tour for DC. As usual after researching for lowest rate and time etc. Everything was perfect and planned. And grrrrr.. I still don’t know from where it went into my thick head, that my flight is at 8 PM.(Flight was at 7 pm) . I had asked Jiten to drop me to airport. At 6 he called, and we decided we will start at 6:30. I just opened my laptop to confirm flight, and I was shocked..I have no word what I felt after that. Suddenly I realized it’s at 7 pm. I took my bags, called Jiten. I bet he never drove that fast in life. But it was too late, flight was gone, and that was the last flight on that day. So no hopes were left. I had ruined all the plans with my one mistake. From airport, we went out for dinner. I was in so bad mood, was not even able to eat. I had lost almost all senses I think. Not sure, what I was doing or talking. It was sleepless night for me. Next 2 days were very painful. Everyone who knew, I was going to travel, was surprised and maybe was laughing at me. How could she? She is a big fool. Some were angry at me as I flushed their plans too and I know some still are.

Later, I tried to convince myself with saying things like, this happened for good and all logic. But I am myself not yet convinced. This incident kind of took off my confidence. Till date, I am afraid of booking any flight or make any plans. Always this fear inside me will tell me; something wrong will happen if I travel. म्हणतात ना दुधानी तोंड पोळलं की माणूस ताकही फुंकून पितो, माझं थोड़ं तसं झालंय .. Before that, I was responsible and matured person as per lot of people. But I proved myself as irresponsible and a fool in front of everyone.

I can never forget how this one flight took so many things away from me. Things I had gained in past few years. And will never forgive myself for doing this. Well, it was just one hour difference. And I never had any intention to do so. And still things were ruined.

With time, these memories are kind of going away now and I am moving ahead. My friends truly helped me to get my lost confidence back. Now, everyone asks me to forward my flight itinerary and I get at least 7-8 calls to remind me flight time. :) I believe that’s one treasure I have and can never afford to lose it, even if I am gonna miss 100 flights like this.

I am planning for new travels now. Surely there will be new adventures; some new stupidity of mine will be there. And do you all remember Jab We Met. अगर करीना याने के गीत ट्रेन miss नही करती, तो क्या पिक्चर आगे बनती . नहीं ना :)
Then maybe I missed my flight to start with my movie :) what say!!!!
