D-87

D - 87
i start this blog with 3 days lateness as i am still recovering from the traumatic experience the first 2 days have been. My idea to write this blog is basically to keep me busy, as a diary so that i can recall how those 90 days went by and mostly to be able to laugh at myself later on (hopefully!)
So, on the day of flight to Pune... my first plane ( Mauritius to Mumbai)  got delayed 5 times...and instead of taking off at 9pm..it took off at 1.00 a.m... i was constantly asking the crew what would happen to my connecting flight...and they told me that everything will be taken care of when i reach Mumbai...needless to say that this never happened...At Mumbai airport, there were NO representatives of MK...having missed my flight and with no other flight for the day...i had to resolve myself to take a taxi for a 4hours trip to Pune...i only had only had enough credits and time to call my husband and the hospital to let them know about the situation ( hats off to Emtel network and coverage!)
i was alone in a taxi with 2 male strangers(driver +1) ...in india... am not being judgemental but ...oh god did i pray that i reach my destination safe and sound!
Reaching HV desai.... no internet connection. only an erratic connection in the library from which i could barely open my mail box( forget about downloading the mails from the server!) so thinking that a SIM card with an internet connection would help me get over all this, i set out on venture to get a SIM card with some data... 45 mins by rickshaw...walking on weird streets...facing weird, nearly pervert stares of the males on the street..i reached a sim card shop with the help of a little school girl i met on the streets.... and they refused to sell me a card...cause i am not a local... that was it!! this country sucks... came back to hostel after of course a horrendous trip in a rickshaw for an exorbitant  sum of money...called my husband and broke down in tears on the phone.... i could barely talk... my husband being...my hero...went beyond to try set things right for me... one of the thing i love about him is his ability to think about things without putting any emotions to them and of course... he always take the best decisions...nearly always ;)
