Reaching Ahmedabad in Gujarat State
After securing the train ticket from Ahmedabad to Somnath, lucky enough to gain an air ticket that looked somewhat affordable, it was time to leave for Gujarat. On a Friday morning left home at 5.30 reached airport at 5.49. The taxi ride set me back by 500 rs. Despite this the taxi man needs to be complimented for ensuring a safe and secure ride. There were other affordable options which i didn't try to explore to reach the airport. Meet Mr Saikia and Mr Ajit Timung both from North East India associated with CISF (Central Industrial Security Force). As you step inside the airport you come across A to N rows for boarding pass. Like c row is for Vistara Airlines, b row for Jet, g row for Air India. The Ticket Outlet has counters for Air India, Jet, Etihad aiways, Vistara, Indigo, Spicejet. One doesn't miss to note the declaration that Delhi Airport is now a Wi-Fi zone. There is a Masala Twist outlet offering
- coffee rs 120
- tea rs 100
- sweet lassi rs 105
There is a Secure Wrap Centre for baggage wrapping.
Come across Mr Masso from Germany. Talk about German Chancellor Ms Angela Merkel's success in stitching a coalition govt after months of negotiations and concessions. Come across Mr Kharat RD from Maharashtra, Mr Navneet, Mr K B Shreedhar, Mr S K Mishra, Mr Rajiv Kumar, Mr Prabhakar M all from CISF. Meet a couple from Italy.
There is Mr C Alathanga at baggage screening point. There is Mr Mohammad Islam going to Dubai by Emirates.

Meet Mr Mira with other family members from Amravati who had been to Ajmer and Jaipur in Rajasthan State. They would take flight to Hyderabad and from there go by road to Amravati which is 300kms away. Amravati is the new capital of Andhra Pradesh. I tell him i watch ETV Andhra Pradesh and ETV Telugu news channels. Perhaps Amravati would have to raise resources for itself as Centre's hands are tied and since no special status has been granted to any State it can't come for Andhra Pradesh as well.
Meet Mr Sandeep Giri from Kolkata who is going with his family to capital of West Bengal State. Meet three men from Nagoya in Japan. The moment i am able to place from which region they come from one of the guys begin to giggle not realising the seats that would be on offer would be next to mine in the flight. Nagoya is between Tokyo and Osaka. Nagoya is hub of country's manufacturing industries and is considered to be automobile hub. Prime Minister Mr Shinzo Abe facing turbulent times in view of land being given to a school at a throwaway price is something i discuss with them. Perhaps one member even after taking the meal box doesn't eat and the entire box going to waste is something hard to digest. Perhaps airlines should spread the message if he or she doesn't wish to have food they can tell the crew members as the food won't go waste.
There is a Hindi song from Roja movie (Yeh Haseen Wadiyan) that is being played and this reminds me of my visit to the then Madras (Chennai)in 1996.
In Relay outlet there is Mr Jeetu from North East

I am supposed to board Vistara UK 979 flight to Ahmedabad. Ms Nikita looks at the boarding passes before letting in passengers.
The flight takes off at 7.50. Descend begins at 8.35. Lands at 9.07
The refreshment comprise of upma, bun, coffee and one sweet dish. Perhaps other airlines should learn a thing or two on refreshments served by Vistara.
Inflight magazine Vistara has a story on clipped Gujarati diction. The magazine doesn't lose opportunity to convey in Vistara women employees make more than 40 per cent workforce. That endeavour would draw support from different quarters.
At belt 3 in Ahmedabad Airport there is reminder of Rani Ki Var stepwell situated in Patan which should be visited by tourists.
After collecting baggage take auto driven by Mr Jigar Modi which starts at 9.36 am Going past Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save Daughter Educate Daughter) hoarding. The campaign of Save Daughter Educate Daughter should replicate across length and breadth of the country.

Porter Mr Raju Bhai takes my luggage to Ahmedabad Somnath Intercity coach. With a window seat i assume the ride to be with little or no knots. The Train leaves at 10.45, Sabarmati comes at 10.56, leaves at 11 am. It has a fairly good speed at 11.02.
