Umm my bags r packed (and I am ready 2 go, though certainly not waiting outside neones door) and I did manage to block seats for meself and the family (2D,E,F so pretty cool seats)... Tele-checkin was interesting since these guys r supposed to open tele-checkin for a particular flight 24 hrs b4 its stated time of departure, however they were delayed ‘coz they r making some changes to ze flight plan (don’t know what r ze changes so shall call up in ze evening to pester them for details)... My parents have gone overboard with packing winter clothes and r carrying tons of sweaters, jackets, mufflers and caps (me on the other hand am carrying a jacket only), and its becoming kindda strange (I know pandas live in cold climates but I doubt I have ze same adaptations as ze rest of ze population since I have spent most of me time in a (usually) hot (and sometimes cold) city, though my friend may disagree on zis point…
Other than that well I am not returning on the 28th rather on the 29th (hopefully, since if Delhi fogs up they cud divert ze flight and get us back here later) and that 2 pretty late in ze evening, so I guess that after 25ths midnight post the blog wud be unupdated until 29th late evening or midnight of the 30th, unless I find a computer and a net connection which is unlikely since these damn guys don’t even use slides in their lectures instead relying on black boards… Oh and zis I am going to has tea estates so whatever time I don’t spend in ze jungle (or sitting with mom through monotonously boring lectures where ppl call sigma bonds “si” bonds without realising the psi is another Greek alphabet and the p is silent so it is pronounce “si”, biochemists sigh…) I shall spend exploring and (hopefully) photographing tea estates….
Me flight is supposed to be at 8:35 tomorrow and me am unhappy abt zat (but me definitely don’t want ze flight delayed by even ze slightest amt, food is a small discomfort as compared to waiting for extended durations in an airport lounge) since I usually enjoy airline food, and zese guys stupidly (always) serve eggs for breakfast, and Ze Panda absolutely detests eggs (zey get ze panda pretty close to vomiting and I doubt ne of the other humans and chimps on ze plane wanna c a panda vomit), and well me don’t know what vegi breakfasts on zis flight is gonna be like (though usually its pretty coooool)... Ze airline crew and ze damn hotel guys r probably not gonna be serving cokes (or in ze airlines case fruit juice) either, it being winter and all, and me LOVE Coke (even fruit juices reasonably) in all seasons, and me want Coke, since me don’t drink tea or coffee which these fooooooolllllssss serve no matter what ze season (I bet some chimp decided the menu, probably to trouble pandas)... Oh and I have been assured that me shalth have pretty gooooooooodddddd foooooooooood at ze place me am going off to…
E-Cards r 2 damn expensive specially the ones that I like… Even Yahoo greetings charges money for ze Looney Toons card that I luv and zis is sad ‘coz if I wanted to pay I’d much rather get one of zose nice paper ones and send it out (booooooohoooooooo, me wanted to send ze Looney Toons one to ppl, realllllllllyy, and well me dont wanna make a dummy HTML file which links ze swf file from their site (umm I have done zis so don’t think it can’t be done), me being a good little panda and allll….. BOOOOHOOOOO (being goooood hurts)..
Neways remember to watch ze portly guy and his reindeers flying over ur houses (though me have never gotten nething from him, legend says he will be flying tonight, so just keep a lookout, if u don’t spot him it ain’t me fault, write to ze North Pole, they’ll know what to do with ur letter)... Oh and Merry Christmas…......
Ze Panda
Sorry for not sending e-cards, hopeful that he will take off on time, but wanting no egg in ze damn food, and waiting for ze better food at ze final destination ….....
