God's Own Country - Chapter 1

Just when I thought I'll finally visit 'God's own country'.. I missed my flight!!

Retail is fun - at times! :p  Its been a year with Diesel and our management planned for an exoctic offsite to Cochin, now Kochi at the super exoctic 'Coconut Lagoon!' All gearged up.. with 'Taboo' and a rugby ball (borrowed from San, now my fiance! *blush*).. for a 0535 hrs flight!

Having slogged on a super busy SALE sunday, generating a business that would give smiles to me and my team.. I return home at 0000 hrs. After a presentation on 'One thing I'm proud of in my professional career', bag packing.. and bodyache, I get to bed at 0200 hrs! One hour of sleep is all I could plan/wish/think/hope for!

Like Mrinal rightly said.. "Dear sleep, I agree early morning flight is a bitch!" The big dilemma of whether to sleep or not took away my 30mins! But waking up to a 'red-eyed' morning is just not CC style ;) So ofcourse I went ahead snoozing my alarm!

0338 hrs is when my eyes actually went wide open and I told myself, "maybe CC style does not always help" Depending on the love of my life.. who is no less than a racer, I was rest assured I'm reaching in time.. rather, just in time!

The first hit comes here.. he didn't answer my calls!! He didn't WAKE UP to drop me!! :s To the rescue comes mommy darling. For a change it was me racing my way!

45 mins before departure time, I reach at the Mumbai domestic airport for a Jet Airways flight to Kochi. Ideally, I could still check-in! Although I forgot I was flying JET!! *angry*

The extremely helpful and polite ground staff *mark the sarcassm* made me wait for 10 mins with no help, eventually helped in MISSING THE FLIGHT!!! *livid*

Phew... that's pretty much how I missed my flight to an exotic offsite! Writing this post on the airpost doesn't make me feel any less exotic! :p

Secretly, I'd always wanted to experience this! Maybe not when the company had paid for my voyage..

Anyhoo.. The trip has just begun!

That's all for now from DG for CC... More updates soon from both DG and TD!!
