’tis the season to be jolly?

I’m back in Hyderabad for Christmas! And boy, does it feel good to be back!
The trip back home had no lack of exciting events, with me picking up a Canon 5D Mk II on loan from Canon for 3 weeks literally a few hours before I got my plane back. After handling the glorious device that it is, my first plane journey was an hour late, with the plane being de-iced as I sat inside and watched the process from my window. At this point, I was quite confident that I would miss my connecting flight to Hyderabad from Frankfurt but by some random grace of god, I managed to catch the plane in the nick of time and was the last passenger to board the plane.
This plane journey was quite nice, and possibly one of the most pleasant ones I’ve had in a while, with no crying babies, good food, and plenty of sleep. Infact, it almost seemed too good to be true and I was proven right when my checked-in luggage didnt turn up. I spent a couple of hours at the airport, filling out forms and doing other necessary beaurcratic procedures before finally getting back home at 4 in the morning instead of 1, as I had originally planned.
To add to the woes, there has been a ‘bandh‘ (citywide strike) for a couple of days and this has resulted in me not being able to have my traditional Paradise Biryani meal with Fatik. While this caused me immense frustration with the local politics, it has also provided me with a lot of entertainment, watching local MLAs getting beaten up by students and the likes and a direct insight to the politics at the world’s largest democracy.
But all that bad news aside, they’ve found my bag and its being flown to India as I type this and should hopefully be with me tomorrow evening! I’ve also enjoyed using the 5D Mk II a lot, and it is truly a revolutionary camera. I havent got much planned for the next couple of weeks which is fantastic since I can continue to get 14 hours of sleep everyday…
