1 3:00am

Well here goes the alarm in my head as well as in my phone..snooze it..15 minutes later I am up and under the shower with my eyes closed ...and wondering do I try to look green or blue today?..well thats the feeling I am having sick and groggy and calling in sick but I am talking about my eye makeup which I have to do after shower to go with my uniform which is also green and blue ...I wonder why they choose such sick colour?..anyways 10 minutes later I am all ready with my blue eye makeup and pink lipstick and sipping in a cup of coffee and thinking about my 5 hour flight to Singapore from Delhi ..phew!!!

4:25 am

Just in time let's look pretty and walk the ramp I mean the airport where u see mothers crying saying goodbye to their children,honeymoon couples walking hand in hand smiling ,group of Chinese walking with a red flag with their tour partners and then u also see some children pointing to me and saying ."look mom airhostess!!...well I do love my job .

5:00am

You are all smiles welcoming your guest at home where you have cooked the best meal you could think of but No !!this is not home this is an aeroplane where if your guest don't like the food they might be willing to throw you off that plane from 30000 feet off the ground for the food which you never prepared.

6:00 am

Well the engine roars and the big bird takes off and as soon as the fasten seat belt goes off one gentleman who is not so gentleman comes and asks,"madam where is the laviator??...I also have the same question mark on my face as his but my colleague comes and rescues me to the answer" straight down at the back is the toilet sir".

7:00 am

As the carts roll down the aisle and with a smile I go " Sir what would you like to have for breakfast? vegetarian which is idli dosa and sambhar or non vegetarian which would be omelette with chicken sausage?"and in my mind saying say vegetarian since I have less of egg ,apparently the chickens were sleeping to give more eggs and nonetheless he goes "I will have an omelette.Grrrrr!! Second passenger I see an old lady and I go madam nice South Indian vegetarian breakfast and keep the tray in her front .She just smiles and nods oh how I love such old ladies.So my entire forty five minutes of my life goes out figuring who says vegetarian more and explaining what idli dosa is to some Chinese passenger.Rice cake and rice crepe with salted soup type gravy ,no Chinese wanted to eat vegetarian.I need to be more exotic in my description with so less omelette in my cart.

09:30am

One and half hour to land and do my shopping .Here goes the trolley with some beverages..."one large whiskey with orange juice"..certainly Sir!!only in mind thinking are you confused whether it's morning time or night time that you want to mix both..anyways next??.."blue level double with soda"..well you will have to manage with red today since you are sitting in economy would be my expression most of the time but then I go we don't have that but we have other option like red label whiskey???.Bloody why can't someone ask for juice or cola at nine in the morning.

11:30 am

Touchdown...yay!! time to say good bye who doesn't like goodbye ask an air hostess after she lands .So you stand at the door with that smile on your face as if you loved them so dearly specially to the one who had whiskey with orange juice and called you sister sister and said "one more haan ".Well one more flight done tomorrow would be the same with completely new experience .

Thank you for travelling with me in this journey and I look forward in serving you again😉
