Air Travel – Bangalore, Hyderabad, Dubai, Birmingham!
In this age of low-cost airlines, every Tom, Dick and Harry seemed to have traveled in different airlines – long distance or short. At 24, I had not boarded the flight even once, out of my own volition for quite some time though. However, an opportunity came by and travel I did, on company’s expense [...]
The Futility of Logic!
