It was 3pm when I received a
call from Kirti.
Kirti: Hey dude.. Wassup?
Jayanth: Nothing much dude..
Same old story… work.. apps.. search..
Kirti: Any progress in any
of these?
Jayanth: Nopes… By the way,
what are your plans for Pongal?
Kirti: No plans. How about
you?
Jayanth: Oh! I want to go to
Kakinada. But one and a half month back, the train ticket status was W/L 289. I
may go home, if I get a bus ticket.
Kirti: Oh! Is it? But you
don’t travel by bus. Right?
Jayanth: Yeah! I don’t want
to. But there is no other option. I want to be there with my family for Pongal.
(The conversation went on
for a minute)
Kirti: OK Dude.. Take care.
Enjoy Pongal.
I
received a mail with a Kingfisher airlines ticket to Visakhapatnam. Oh Boy! It
took me by a big surprise… When I find it difficult to get even a bus ticket, a
flight ticket was booked on my name without my knowledge.
Later, I called Kirti who
confirmed that he want to surprise me and want me to spend time with my family
during Pongal. I said that I was really surprised but he should have informed
me prior to booking the ticket as Visakhapatnam is 3 hours from my town,
Kakinada. This conversation continued for 2 more minutes.
Kirti: OK Dude.. Happy
Journey. Enjoy Pongal.
Now, I received two mails.
One is about cancellation of ticket to Visakhapatnam and another about booking
a new ticket to Rajahmundry. Now, I don’t have words for the next one hour. For
sure, this is the biggest surprise to me in the last two years. Let's see what
surprises 2011 has in store for me.
I wanted to return the money
to Kirti. But, after knowing that the cost of the ticket is a whopping 10K
rupees, I thought “OK. Let it be a surprise :) Thank you Kirti... You made my
day..:D
