Heading to Kumbh for reasons not very sure of. But when there is a gathering of like minded people you need to be there especially when it is of such 'Maha' scale.

My flight was at 5 am and thinking it was enough to check in before an hour, left home leisurely to reach Airport by 4 am. My friend Abhilash K dropped me at the Airport. With very dazed mind entered inside with a very unfamiliar feeling and slight fumble. Waited in a long queue for Check in. The time was ticking and was getting a bit worried and asked the passengers waiting infront at what time their flight was. Their's was at 7 am and i requested if i could go past them and they said my flight last call was already made and asked me to check in the fast counter. Rushing there i was told i cant Board the flight as the Check in is closed. I begged pleaded.. also said i can run fast... But they said it is closed and thats that and no emotions worked. It appeared everything was coming crashing down.. the Money.. The words...

They asked me to check out the airline office in the terminal. Again quickly anxiously enquired. The girl who was rather more sweet said that Can try to transfer the ticket to another flight :" In case there are seats available and would know only at 530 am. The time was 4 30 am. Or else you need to buy a new ticket with a hefty price!!! The transfer charge would not be much.

The one hour anxious wait was a 'Ready to face anything ' phase as there was nothing in my capacity to do anything about the ticket.

One of my friends suggested a few options but everything depended on 5 30 am. Anxiously looking at her in the airline counter she said Hyderabad Varanasi flight is available that was scheduled to depart at 7 am. I tried to tell her if i could get the Banglore route which i was supposed to take but she suggested to take the first flight available. She gave the receipt paid the transfer amount and rushed to check. No!!! No more delaying!

Checked in, passed through security, Boarded the almost full flight. Doors closed, and how lucky, got the window seat with my whole row empty.

My pre booked meal from the earlier flight also came.

So now i know why i am headed to Kumbh. Mahadev of course and Mahavatar Baba.

Love to all. Stay blessed.
