Jet-lagged !

Four days, six flights, lots of cheap frozen food, a small de-tour, a lot of free airport WiFi and finally i am back at home, sitting in my cozy bed, in my familiar blanket after about 2 months!!

Most people would find it hard to believe, but trust me, i saw first Indian in the past 45 days when i landed on Austria airport! After that it became an overdose! Suddenly the flight back to India became Jalandhar Express! :D :D Every single soul on that flight was a punjabi! 250 odd people talking loudly in Punjabi! Everyone was running around in the flight, kids were crying like crazy, husbands shouting on wives for not packing their favorite chaddis! Awesomeness! On a side note, i never knew so many newly wedded couples with high hormone levels go to Austria for honeymoon! I always thought Paris or Switzerland was their forte! :D

Anyways, the new Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi international airport is one of the best airports i have seen in the past 4-5 years! Its huge!! And the best part is, that the duty-free rates are cheaper than some of the biggest airports in the world!! (Dubai, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Munich, Austria, Timisoara)! Ofcourse i am only comparing the alcohol rates! :D

Terminal 3 has this classy but useless wall-to-wall carpet all around! I am not too comfortable with the carpets, i somehow feel that carpets are the best breeding-grounds for all sorts of bacterias and germs! Phew! And yeah, this huge head is also lying in the central area of the departure terminals! (I think its one of our 33 crore Gods, its just that i am not able to relate names and faces :P )

Can anyone tell me the purpose of immigration officers at the departure terminals? Dude, the person is leaving your country! Be happy about it, instead of asking a long list of questions that why is he going back!! Even if you are not happy that the person is leaving your country, what would you say? - "Sorry dude, i think you should have seen our historical museum, it contains artifacts of all types of people in our country from the time when no-one wore chaddis! I am not letting you go home without seeing it!!??"

By the way, i have started getting bored of the Blogger platform, and all the constraints with it! There is far too less freedom to experiment with the layout and widgets on your blogspot blog! Some of the best wordpress themes display a generous amount of creativity and freedom in their themes! Anyways, once i go back to Romania, sometime in December,  i will have enough time to search for best 10 wordpress hosting sites and best free wordpress themes to create the new version of Furobiker !

Thats all for this tiny status update, i gotta run to find a nice Sherwani and Pagdi (Turban) for myself for my cousin's wedding! :P ...  Hasta-la-vista ...
