Surprise in Dubai !

My flight route was Hyd - Dubai - JFK (NY)...I had a 2 hrs halt at Dubai and I had to change the flight....After I got down in Dubai, I got into the bus, listened to the instructions and got down in Stop 1 to catch the connecting flight. After the security check was over, I climbed the elevator to reach the information center (to find the Gate number of my NY flight).... all these happened with some fear at heart, cos I was all alone and everything looked gigantic in Dubai.

After I found the gate number, I was slowly walking with my eyes searching for gate number 11...Suddenly, I saw someone familiar standing near a coffee shop...I was surprised for a moment, and I couldnt believe my eyes-- first time I have "experienced" this statement !!!

Yes, it was Illamaran, my batcheee, watching me with a pleasant smile :-):-) YAYYYY that was soooo nice to see our ppl in an unknown place, with an insecured feeling....Ah, how to explain it, I dont know....I was continuously asking myself, "is this happening really?"...

I started feeling at home after I met him :-):-):-) very comfortable :-) that "out of country, alien" feeling was no more :-) I happily walked with him, talked for sometime, and reached my gate entrance....He waited with me in the queue and both shared our happenings in life...He too had his flight to Singapore at the same time...So, we bid adieu to each other and I continued with the other security checkings....

I thanked God for getting someone for me, not someone, a very nice, understanding friend to vanish my frightened feeling...I had a wonderful rest of my journey :-)

Thanks sooo much, Batchee :-)

take care everyone,

Loving,
J.
