Day 12: Off to the Melting Pot

Today was an emotional day. There was a vague feeling of poignancy and anticipation; poignancy because we were saying goodbye to a place and people who had impacted us so much with their generosity, novelty, stories, foods, laughter and kindness. Anticipation because we looked forward to scaling the mountain of airport travel challenges and emerging on the other side, victorious and ready to meet our colleagues who would have varying and no doubt interesting stories to share about their experiences. After tearful goodbyes to Kritika (who lingered at the airport entrance even after we were out of sight 😀), we got through baggage checks and security without a hassle (unlike our experience at the Delhi airport on our way into Chennai), and had a pleasant flight to Bangalore, the garden city of India.
