Some days are diamonds, some days are stones. We were going to delhi today. We were supposed to go rather. Going home to Aligarh after so many days. Our rajdhani train ticket didn't get confirmed even though we had tried a high level source. Maybe others had even higher source than us. It was such a sinking feeling watching the train go. Since the last few times me, my wife and little daughter have always flew down. But since three months back the air ticket prices have more than doubled. After watching the train simmer away from us leaving us cold with tiredness, we hopped into a cyber cafe and promptly booked ourselves to n fro air tickets. Cost a tidy 40, 000/ Add another 10 grand and the trip will be worth 50 K. Now that's a tad too expensive especially when we are visiting home under normal circumstance and its not an emergency. But then meeting your parents and loved ones is an incentive in its own way. Isn't it! My wife is a bit circumspect as she loves haggling in the vegetable market and here a neat sum of money was siphoned off just like that. Tomorrow around this time we will be on our way to aligarh in a taxi at this time. Hope the day and night glitter with diamonds...
