Day 0 Mumbai Airport

Its funny how anxiety can get to you. So ya I managed drop my boarding passes, I also managed to crack a stupid joke with the baggage checkin guys ohh common this can happen to anyone.

I am an anxious person and I do tend to mess things up from time to time. After an extremely jittery security checkin, making sure my cabin baggage did not have any liquids or knives or whatever and as soon as that got done I was a little relaxed. Trying to walk around the airport i thrushed the passport and my boarding passes into the back pocket. While happily chatting away with my wife a gora walks up to me and says is this yours, "hell ya thats mine" I had dropped both my boarding passes from Mum to DXB and DXB to SFO.

So ya there are good people out there, but airports are funny places. Some of them have most polite conversations with you and some the most rudest. Busting with people grinding away at their laptops, some bored out of their wits trying to drink away. Some hogging on chicken buggers and fried chicken wings., some trying to understand the complexities of the airport by sipping on their 5th cup of coffee, and then there are some who love to have a beer before the flight. I have come to realize that having a beer before you get on board the flight kinda relaxes you, it takes the jittery ness away.

Well I am here waiting for an hour now already and a couple more to go. From what I hear Dubai airport is an even more fancier and hence complicated hell hole. I hope I am able to navigate my way around it and not mess up.
