Bhubaneshwar Dairy

You won’t believe where I am now…No…I am not at the Whitehouse and neither am I at lunch with my old girlfriend and I definitely am not prancing around topless on a beach in Australia with one hand in my armpit singing “Salaam Namaste” (kinda makes me wonder though, where WOULD I like to go, if I had the choice that is)..I am at Bhubaneshwar now…here for the next two weeks…came in flyin from Chennai..the carrier was something called Alliance Air..never seen or heard of it before..Now I have seen plenty of planes in my time (by the last two words I mean my childhood), but never had I seen something as small as this particular plane..I didn’t have too many expectations abt the airhostesses either..but I was in for a charming surprise. There was one with a very pleasant smile ..if you have seen the Singapore Girl campaign, you would know what I mean..She had a smile that just made me melt….

A smile can not solve everything though..the flight was still lousy..

Bhubaneshwar is funny when u think it’s a city..I’ve been told that public transport hardly exists..people rely more on autos…have hardly seen any buses or heavy transport. And after a looong hiatus, I’ve come to see cows lazing around on the roads. This was something that I had left at Delhi..I’m still to come to terms with the Oriya script...but then, I don’t have to. I would be here only for the next couple of weeks.

One stray thought here..pls excuse the lack of direction..what is it abt a girl who brings her hair around her neck and down her chest that makes her beautiful..I’ve known abt this before, and I’ve seen plenty who have made use of this..but today I saw a girl with her hair in this fashion and she looked a grand sight for my sore eyes…Was it her hair, or was it seeing the back of her neck, or was it the look in her eyes..I wonder...
