Many thoughts about pros and cons...
Many formalities and man made hurdles at visa office...
Lot of shopping and cuisine preparations...
A balance hanged in my room weighing everything from a book to a bag of medicines...
Many sweet moments spent with family and friends...
After 1 week wasted, due to spontaneous 'Bharat Band'...
Many checks and rechecks on luggage and tickets and money...
I finally entered the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai on 9th June early morning,
And you guessed correctly!
I had successfully managed to forget an important thing! .... Digital camera...

I finally entered the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai on 9th June early morning,
And you guessed correctly!
I had successfully managed to forget an important thing! .... Digital camera...
It was really difficult to go back now with many people pouring in...
Moment was ripe with every unknown and equally confused face around...
Many policemen carrying some real big guns...
I some how managed to reach out for a while and get the camera from my Mami...
Alas....
I had a clumsy start for the journey but thankfully that was the only thing out of order till the end...
Pilot landed the plane safely on the desired airport!
and there was I,
at Helsinki Vantaa airport standing in front of migration personnel waiting for him to open the gates of Finland for me...
I had every thought of him rejecting me an entry for no reason really...
They say dogs can sense when a person in front is scared..!
The person in front of me surely looked like a big bull dog but he lacked the relevant abilities I guess...
With a big smile on his face he welcomed me to the country and I truly regretted about the dog metaphor...
I was searching for a cab outside and it took me some time to realize that the cool BMW cars standing in front of me are actually cabs!
Kind cab driver took my luggage and dropped me to my desired location.
I had to go through 3 locked doors to get to my apartment with 3 bags including big check in bag and a cabin bag!
but like they say, one who travels in central railway during peak hours, can travel anywhere with any amount of luggage..!
As I entered the room there in front of me was my travel card and phone card with some useful documents... Now that's called good service...
With high speed internet i was connected to my family in matter of seconds ... concluding my safe and sound journey....
I have been roaming a lot, in and around Helsinki since then....
Here's a beautiful panorama from Suomenlinna Fort ...
