From "Pai" bus to British Airways

My life is known for sudden changes!! Its like casino wheel-who knows on which number I may win the jackpot!!
Things happen to me without a small clue also..From my exam results to job opportunity, everything happened against my predictions.....Now I have realised,I am not so good in predictions ;-)
And funny thing is....good things happen to me at a very slow pace ;-( ....Late but the best..I am satisfied....Thank God!!..Thanks for the blessings and prayers of all around me.I owe my existence to them.
Though I always dreamt of flying high,I had almost lost that hope in my recent job profile.With all my best performance that I could render,several rounds of talks with my manager(Jojee Thomas C),the opportunity was just out of my reach..I started suspecting my ability. ;-(

Every cloud has a silver lining: (first I thought of using the phrase "Every Dog Has Its Day"..then thought,let me not go to that extent ;-) )--One fine day,I got a call from my manager on my mobile..it was sunday..I thought of not receiving the call because I felt he was calling me for some urgent work in the office!! Whatz wrong in thinking so? Who wants to work during
week-ends? But I respect my manager,he is one of the best persons I have ever met in my life.I won't ignore him for any reason..be its professional or personal....I have got to learn lot of things from him!!He is the perfect manager!!So I received his call.."where do you want to go, US or UK?" was his first sentence. I was so amazed that I forgot that I was on phone..he knocked me understanding my silence and said its true and I had both the opportunities....I
took a deep breath of dream-came-true and said anything was OK. I was in a condition of "beggars are not choosers"..I was ready to go to Pakistan also ;-)....I was not particular of any country,I just wanted to fly!!
On 9th Jan,my dream came true.I flew to London in British Airways. It was such a pleasant experience! I was feeling on top of the world!!....I think I was....around 40000ft above ground level ;-)
Since then, though I am getting regular chances to fly,I still love the good old buses that take me to my hometown..to my sweet home!! There is no way better than the one that leads to sweet home.
PS: "Pai" bus is the private travel agency that runs buses between Bangalore and Belgaum(my home town).
