The Undiluted Fun Experience....With a Smile.

What is a million dollar in comparison to a Beaming Zillion Dollar Smile poring out of Eyes of Missus…..? Nothing My Man ….. Nothing.

The Indian in me, who was frustrated with the mundane political scenario in its Apathy Around, Decided that this year I will Vote in election and make my vote count… However that was not to be ….Tried hard I did, but couldn’t get a VI card or even name updated in the list…. Hence one more election gone without me voting…. May be I will help chose the state government instead of one at center.

This entire episode left me frustrated and hence I planned to get away from the city for some time.

The plan was made and executed and here we were, Me and Missus at Mumbai CS International Airport waiting in line to check in our Jet airways flight to UAE.

The Lady at the counter informs me… Mr Anand!!! We have upgraded you and Missus in business class… (See how it makes a difference after changing your bachelor name.. )
I quietly informed Missus and what I get in Return… A Smile so beaming that we could have switched the electricity off… The spark in her eye was blinding and I had to wear my Aviators.

This Trip was starting to be great from the word GO.

Walked into the Plane like a Queen and her Disciple… Seated on 2 A and C , we were definitely not among equals… I was missing the treatment of Cattle class badly…. Missus… well she was soaking in the beauty of the skies and ground below through the window like a pro.

Do they pamper you …… yes they do….. With Menu of all Kinds starting from Drinks to Starters to Food to wines ….you name it… and yes the smile never faded even for a second. Premiere class 2X2 Seats reclining from UAE till HASANPUR, with table as wide as a 8 seat Dining table, Cutlery of stainless steel and drinks in beautiful glass tumblers

Missus is Beaming…..

Sitting in the premiere class makes you realize what a cattle class is….

I am a champion of 3 hrs journeys in Indian Skies ,Sitting on these 3X3 Seats in cattle class gives you the finesse of Jugglery of several activities from drinking water from bottle to eating food with two vertical hands; at the same time finely balancing the table on your knees and ensuring that your neighbor desnot get to taste your food.

Now I know why the poet wrote these lines…

छमा शोभती उस भुजंग को जिसके पास गरल हो … उसको क्या जो दंतहीन विषहीन विनीत सरल हो

The 3 hr journey ended in 2.50 hrs … no delays and waiting’s for touchdown or p0arking bay… we were in UAE 10 Minutes before the scheduled time.

Arrival Formalities completed … we located our host “S “waiving at us from the arrival enclosures…..

“S & V” have bought a Spanking New Outlander and what a Beast t is and S has just received her DL of UAE.

Came out of the airport ,we had a 20 min time window to get out of parking and were confidant of clearing it in 5…… Alas…. Where is the vehicle B1 Parking Lot?

After 5 false starts (trotting from B2 to B5) and 15 Minutes later we could locate B1…. Which was just at the back of the arrival terminal from where we started the search…. Something in life never Change….. S… We love you.

Moved out of Airport JIT for the closing window of 20 minutes….. Was a photo finish.
Started for Home and took 2 wrong turns….. and saw an additional Mall( was not in original Itenary)…..

We reached home finally….

I could not hold my self and gave a Bow to “S”. She has Fabulous Driving Skills and within 20 days only, she has perfected her road sense and driving… Hats off to you… you were really impressive…. You Rock.

Missus is beaming…

And then we made the first outing of the day… Mall walking….. Being a veteran of Mumbai Malls, where I have spent endless hours cruising from one shop to another… it was a piece of cake for me… So I thought…

How mistaken I was….. I went to a mall which look Endless and refused to finish… Kept walking and walking and walking…. No where to the finish line….I had a feeling that if I walk little more I might reach Mumbai…. Was bone tired ….

Missus!!! Well she was beaming…….

Thought of calling it a day….. but no…. Night was still open to explore….. Moved to The Walk…. Amazing place done up in European Style of Cobbled Street and out side Cafes…. Hot Babes and Even Hotter Cars…. First time in my Existence … I could not find enough time to look at babes….. So engrossed was I in looking at Cars….

Sample this

Lamborghini
Beetles
Bentleys
Hummers
Phantom
Lotus

You name it and it was there….. What a Place man… Awesome.

Missus?… well she is Beaming…

Next day was Dessert Safari…..So we did the Mall walking in the morning Hrs … 3 Pm our Dessert Safari Driver Came and picked us from Home… and we were off to a the dunes…..
The guy was Young in age and at heart… played some fantastic Arabian music… “Lelum ya le le”…. And we were supposed to clap to this really catchy tune.. were kind a forced in to doing so… as if were not doing it then driver was clapping with both hands…. Driving speed… 120 Miles….so we better clap…
We reached the dunes and Safari started… this was an experience I will never forget…. You have to do it to understand it….

Safari ended with Famous Arabic Belly Dancing and … what a dance that was… don’t try at home… may break your back…

Missus….. Beaming.

Back to home and late night Coffee at Starbuck…. As usual we experimented with the coffee, and regretted it.

Missus.... well …. Beaming.

Next day again Mall walking …. Bone tiring…..but Lunch at chilies was awesome Mexican food…. I wish they have such joints back home but survived the ordeal because Missus is beaming.

Evening was a Cruise Dinner…. , Reached 30 Minutes late which held the cruise for 30 minutes…. But the experience and food was Great… could see the glittering skyline of UAE and had a Gala time there… apart from one small Assassination attempt…. Everything was great….

Missus…. Of course beaming…

Penultimate day …. Day of return back to reality….so what….. Did the customary mall walking and then Arus Dumscus….Awesome Lebanese food on an outside eatery…
Reached home in the evening , just in time to pack bags and rush to Airport to catch our flight back to home….. This time Cattle class….

“ S & V “… You Guys are the best host in the world… of course after me….. J

Cattle Class…. Missus is beaming…. Well... Mall walking and Shopping is a catalyst here I presume….

Got the boarding passes…did some chat with the person issuing it and then left for mandatory duty free shopping….of what ever DH left…

9.10 pm…. Time to board the flight.. Late in reaching the boarding gate… we are the last ones…. Gentleman at the gate , takes our ticlket and does come changes… guess what… seems chat at the boarding pass issuance counter worked…

“ Mr Anand We have Upgraded you to Premiere class”….

Meekly gave the information to Mrs. Anand that we are Back in Premiere …. We are Spoiled…..and This time the beaming is so bright the electricity might Trip… This is Nuclear……..

3 Am in the morning and “AB” is at the Mumbai Airport to receive us…when u have such friends…. Who needs the Caramel Custard…..

Missus is beaming and looks its going t continue for some time…. till the next trip Perhaps…

What is a million dollar in comparison to a Beaming Zillion Dollar Smile poring out of Eyes of Missus…..? Nothing My Man ….. Nothing.
