12:54 PM:Today was another Busy day ... unlike all working days! Today Krishna left Bangalore for Raipur, for a huge vacation for lifetime! He has left the company already and now he has left Bangalore for good. It pains somewhere in the chest, unexplainable and I can only name it sadness. He was a guy who would win hearts in moments, and I wish I had spent more time with him. I should have brought something for him as a farewell gift from kolkata, but as always with me ... remembered it today, when I did not have time to get a good present for him. I feel guilty. I just bought the Two States by Chetan Bhagat, and a Classic pack.
It was a tiny gift, but it has the warmth of my heart...
One last pic at ITPL I would like to share:

I really hope this is not the last pic I have clicked, but it is true that the place would be different.(Might be we meet at the same place, but times would have changed us a lot!)


And as they say It's never too late, I think I can 
modify it to ... It's never a last time!


By the time I finished of with the junk reporting decks, it was daily call time. It was a 5 minute quickie today, and sent out the daily report marginally by 10 and ran for home :-P I have become less workaholic! Good step forward to a new decade, I guess.


Let me share some funny facts about coffee at approximately 25000 feet above sea level! Do we have a CCD(Cafe coffee Day) there ?? Guess what ... YES !! Well I know you think I am crazy, and thats where our perceptions put us in the wrong foot!
Is there a CCD ? Yes ... in a packet as Coffee mix and served by the flight cabin crew! With no offences about the crew of the airliner, I will tell as well as show you what we got as coffee :-P
First of all no one expected a coffee machine up there, but I thought they might serve it from the flask. But strangely enough they served hot water and the coffee mix separately in a pouch! What you need to do is dissolve the mix in the hot water already in the paper cup! Anyone who has ever made bournvita/complan knows that you have to have the powder in the cup/glass before you mix hot water/milk... right? Did you ever try mixing the powder to the hot water/milk! If you have you know how tough it is to mix it then. And we had to do the same.... and it took us 10/15 minutes only to mix/dissolve the coffee mix to hot water! Well it was kind of a time killer :-P Now my friend Rahul found out an innovative way to make the froth and mix the coffee well, after the powder is no more visible (due to slow stirring) you have to blow slowly, small amount of air into the half made coffee to make a froth and dissolve it into the hot water!! By the time we ended the coffee was half cold, and the last sip felt more like a chocolate milk shake!! lolz! :-D
Here are some pics of the "innovative" coffee - 25000 feet above!

Next time I will have all the coffee I want before boarding or after landing!!
