....kingfisher air...

...we'll fly kingfisher to delhi....said mahesh...i was like - what???...it's india's 2nd airline he said...the "Virgin" of india...he add...and i said the "Air Asia of India??"...he gave me the look...hahahhaa..u cant help it..Malaysia has stamped its foot in the world scene these days huh....on our way to the airport...as usual...mumbai traffic scares us..we looked like we gonna missed it...mahesh joked...kingfisher wont fly without us...i will call vijay"...vijay who?..oh the owner of kingfisher...he also runs the Force India F1 team.....ahhh now i knew...wait a minute...Vijay Mallya...owns Kingfisher and he runs Force India F1 team....?? Tony Fernandez...owns Air Asia...and he will run 1Malaysia Lotus F1 team....?? and Sir Richard Branson owns Virgin Airlines and part ownes/sponsors Brawn GP F1 team....?? this cannot be coincidence...are we missing something...???

true to the spirit of Branson...these airlines lined up hot stewardess as one of its main corporate image...u know that those wt red tight mini skirts and with curvaceous figures ..... hmmm...and also true to that spirit...kingfisher...likewise Virgin and Air Asia...my flight bound for New Delhi is delayed for 1 and half hours.....so much as a coincidence....and that's where I am now...in Kingfisher's lounge... well u have to pay USD10 for this..true to the no frills spirit too huh...

p/s : I missed my wife n my princesses already....

...what a carling derby...

...carling cup has been 2nd classed tourney again...chelsea/birmingham and gunners/villa were on tv..live...and its just an ordinary league match...united/city is a thrilling...sent shivers down the spine kinda derby cup semi final match that deserve more exposure than those surely chelsea/gunners win match...ah come on...we know chelsea n gunners will walk off this game unscathed even if the lose...but not the victors nor the doomed of united/city carling cup semis...

anyway...money talks indeed...and i can understand why tv money is not important to the wealthy sheikh that owns city...and a relief bond issuance Glazer united owner....but for the fan like us...we need to see the match yea...so..i succumbed to live text update on my macbook next to me while i lay half asleep while flipping back n forth chelsea n gunners game...on my 3rd flip...chelsea was 1 goal up...gunners still goalless and so does united/city....so city looked thru now...by the time i m on my 6th flipped...chelsea is 2-0...shittteee....still no changed for the others..then i dunno what happened but i woke up just at the very end of the game...chelsea won 3-0...gunners drew...hurrrraaaahhh at least...united are safe in 2nd spot wt level game wt gunners...but chelsea...wt a game in hand...is a point up....not bad...not to distant fm united i wud say ...anyway...united/city is 2-1 at Old traffor...so aggregate wise..its 3-3..a deadlock even on the away goal rule...and its on dying minutes...i refreshed and refreshed and refreshed...no change.....oh no...no penalty please...to digress a little...united's record is so poor on penalty deciders....even Ronaldo missed it in the Champs League final in moscow remember???...but on my last refreshed...rooooooooney scored!!!!!!...i kept on refreshing...the text shows..city is controlling...attacking and harassing...possession swung the other side...57% to city...this is not good....and finally...the ref blew it...it;s 4-3...united thru to the final with Villa...and coincidentally.....the villains did us a favor by holding gunners to a goalless draw...what a day....

i slept like a baby that nite...

...mumbai or bombay....??? day 1

..mumbai or bombay...?? I asked mahesh my colleague...bombay is what the british name for mumbai...so the locals prefer mumbai...now i know...

i was in this hectic city since tuesday nite...or wednesday ely morning...it was quiet....and i kinda like the change...my first time here was 2 yrs back and i can still recall how hell it was...now at least..at the very wee hours...mumbai was quiet...checked into the trident hotel....which is next to oberoi...the hotel i used to stay last time..and a week after i left....it got bombed!!!! my 2nd story of cheating death...my first was in 1998 when i was scheduled to travel wt Philippines air to illigan city...but thanks to petron who deferred the meeting to the next day...we cancelled our ticket and that very same plane...crashed wt capacity casualty...i wouldn't be here huh...now back to the story....a week after i left oberoi mumbai....it got bombed...the hotel is still under repair n will re-open in march 2010...

anyway...trident is a connecting hotel to oberoi....the story has it that the guy who did that..get into oberoi fm trident...hmm so...the security is very very tight even in the early morning...which i applaud...so checked in...unpacked and i am in mooomoo land...
