Veg…(enthaina, nenu spl. Request chesa… ticket konetappudu…). Anni akulu alamulu… mummy chese food gurthuku vacchindi.. emi chestham anukunna….
Inthalo, announcement… outside temp 5 ata.. and we r about to land in Amsterdam. Wow ani anipinchindi… sun-raise ki mundu time… naa favorite time… motthaniki, naa group (ade bammagaru and Krishna) malli kalisaru. Konchem sepu, malli avi, ivi anni matladukunnam… inthalo Krishna air-port chupistha andi. Nenu sare anna, anniti gurinchi chepthu… chala kalakshepam… appude chusthunna.. vere countries jeevarasulni (adenandi, people with different cultures). Konchem shopping kuda chesindi. Anni Euro lekkalu kada… baga vadilinchukundi Krishna…manam chup-chap. Now its 11:00am. malli flight time, mugguram matladuthu gadipesam. 2:00 pm ki Detroit vacchindi… my port of entry in US. thondaraga immigration check ani, Krishna nannu kangaru pettindi… bammagaru, venaka undi poyaru.. iddaram immigration purthi chesi.. venaka chuse sariki, bammagaru inka line lo unnaru… but, next connecting flight ki time ayipoindi.. so, memu duram nunde send off cheppesam… I lost the first member of my group.

Krishna.. oka suit-case, nenu okati eedchu kuntu velli check in chesi, maa terminal ki velle sariki, flight boarding time ayipoindi ani agent mammalini allow cheyyale… but, naaku ee sari tension ledu.. endukante, Krishna undi kada, bhayamela anukunna… next flight ki seats book ayyai.

Memu hai ga, A, B and D terminals chusi, C ki vaccham.. naa flight A terminal ki vasthundi.. Krishna got her flight in C. So, 2hrs lo naaku US life gurinchi cheppindi… Its 5pm. Time for departure. The second and final member left away. Appude anukunna, nenu chinna help chesi, edo goppaga feel ayyevadini ani. Future lo, evariki ayina, help kavalante, goppalaki pokunda chethanainantha cheyyali ani decide ayya.
Then, I felt like tired. Next place is Memphis. Here, I saw, men like machines. And this was the life, I have been looking for. Finally, 12:30am, I was in Monroe, LA. No one is there for me in the airport. I was left alone. My seniors, who had to pick me up, came to the air-port at 6:30pm and left (I was late as I missed my flight). After a long time, I saw an air-port with no people. But, I learned a lot from my trip and there was no tension in me. This time, oka American travel agent ki naa situation cheppi, thana cell nundi, friends ki call chesa. Vallu appatike, naa gurinchi start ayyaarata.
Appude realize ayya, though my parents and friends were smiling at the air-port, they had great hopes for me. And now, I have only their hopes and dreams with me, but they meant everything.
So, idandi naa experience… an aimless bird is finally on its way to destiny..!
Wanna enjoy the heaven, know the hell first,
Vinny
