Some notes I made while in the air.…

South of the Labrador sea flying over the Atlantic at 654mph. America was left behind a little too quickly. Sometimes the best goodbyes are the ones that happen when you don’t realize they’ve happened. Mummy took a well calculated jibe at me as we were completing the final bag check before leaving…it really got to me and I really brushed her off at the final checkin time. Its the angry decisions that hurt the most. Extraordinary girl called me this afternoon too, her voice had all the comfort of hot soup on a snowy winter’s night. For some reason the sound of her voice brought an unexpected bout of post-hangup waterworks which was so oddly therapeutic and most unlike me, what it was, it was load lightening.
7976 kms to Kuwait.

Woke up at 2:30a because Mr. WindowSea could hold it in anymore. Groggy vision told me we were south of England and just north of Spain. Sleep came fitfully after that. Thankfully Mr. Check-in had upgraded me to business class out of the the goodness of his super-spiked hair so at the very least I’m reasonably comfortable.

I just took a poop in Kuwait. Thankyou Bush Sr. for freeing this nation, otherwise I might have shit my pants. When will the world realize that it’s just better sitting down with some good reading?

There are a lot of U.S. soldiers here at the airport. They all seem to have this far away lost look on their faces.

It’s almost time to board the flight to Bombay and for whatever Keyur type reason, I find myself getting some butterflies in my paet. Could it be the 7 years it’s been since my last visit?
You should really change the date on this blog post. Otherwise most people won’t see it.
