What? Carts and that too available for free without paying the $3.50? Whoa !

This was really nice and the good thing was that I could see these carts at each and every 10 ft. Absolutely Great !!!
Feeling great about the Desi airport, I came to an area, where I had to park these carts, and there were about 3-5 people helping the passengers offload the carts. (Help without any tips ? Whoa again !!)
Dude, Where am I? Courteous people waiting to help you merely take the cart without giving me THE LOOK? (this cannot be the desi patel store guy :)
To top this, if needed, some of these porters were later helping passengers pick their luggage from the baggage area, pass it through the antique x-ray machine, reload it onto the trolley etc.
Now, thats REALLY an experience for someone who flies economy class!

For some of you khopdi-ke-khopche-main-know-it-all-types, the way these thermal scanners work is that on detecting a person with body temperature above normal (98.6 degree F), the camera sounds an alarm and also captures his or her photograph.
Essentially, these scanners are very sensitive to body temperatures and, in case the doctors miss out on any passengers with fever, the machines won't miss them. But they cannot judge you if you took the medicine in the flight. So, then how effective is this scanner?
Hey - sochne ka nahin bidu, psychological treatment bhi kuch hota hain.
Whoopie - I passed the thermal-flu scanner, now let me pass on the swine-flu :)
Mumbai International airport NOW has a multi-level parking area (imagine what was going on in the parking scene for all these years :)

Imagine, everyone getting a pick up welcome on arriving outside the airport, that would become a heaven for the pick-pocket types !!

I thought to myself, I should better put on my mask, it might just be a good idea, maybe not for the swine flu panic but for the SMELLY AIR-SMELLY AIR (I could sing the Friends-Phoebe song in my mind :)

So, till the next one, stay safe, stay in loeve and all you public bolaaa

Good one.
Nice to see you back in axn. Miss your show. Howz India?
Is the Swine Flu epidemic in control in India? India is wasting money on all these equipments like thermal scanners. Spend money on education and poverty improvement instead.
Life anytime is much better in India. Epidemics can be everywhere, but I think with the amount of infra setup, India is doing ok. Has anyone seen the rise in swine flu cases across Europe??
How is India Pankaj? Where in India are you? I will be visiting in october. You should not have reminded me of that foul and smelly air. My daughter always asks me about that smell when we visit and it is very disgusting to even show or tell her from where that smell is coming. Ughs. Enjoy your stay.
We miss you here Pankaj... D
I like the swine flu checking post. It is stupid. This is a great time to be around Bombay (I refuse to call it mumbai).All my life before I came to this dead country (ofcourse US), all of our family members used to go for the visarjan. Jai Bappa. I really miss these 10 days of Ganpati.
I thought you had stopped blogging. Gr8 to see your post. Stay in touch and keep checking your emails. We really miss you on EBC.
