My First Onsite Trip

This is about my first onsite,I was keep on saying no for any onsite oppurtunity,the reason behind is the we have only clients from African and few of middle east countries and they have different traditions mostly islam domination,so many restrictions so on.
When I was asked for Iran i said no because there are few restrictions imposed on girls dressing,if it is permitted for the country citizens that is fine but even outsiders has to follow that....

Again I was offered to Sudan,this time I was not left with any chance,even after saying some cock and bull stories.
I thought like my fate is sealed.I was with full of negative thoughts and the kind of inputs I got about the country are tough,daily few of my colleagues used to make fun of me like next day "Nalini ka picture ayega local newspaper me ".
I told strongly to my manager ,I cannot make a move because I do no how safe the place will be,then he assured me its a good place and talked to few of my colleagues who already been there they told its good,no problem etc,
I called my home told about this trip,to my disappointment every one was happy and excited except me.My father is encouraging me by saying good oppurtunity make use of it, etc etc.,So I decided to go for my father sake,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Moreover this is my first onsite,I do not know anything,I was nervous,nobody was with me to help out ,arranging, buying, packing and how much luggage to carry,what is the weight,if the weight exceeds threshold.. so many things used to bug me, these are very small things to do,but I was very much pressurized under negative control.In this state obviously things will be weird and difficult to manage.
Finally managed everything did everything alone........though it was the first time,I did in a perfect way,with proper timing.

Something is bugging me inside,I dono the reason,I used to be silent,dull some one else was there other than me...then One day I bursted out at my mother saying like I dono ma wat is happening to me,I'm not like earlier with great enthu........she consoled me saying like u were disappointed and having fear about things,leave everything meditate for sometime and she also said that I can do everything,she has lot of confidence on me.After that I was very fresh and as usual. I managed everything....

The day has arrived I have to leave India.........NO one with me to give send off,because the dates are tentative my parents could not accompany me.That is the day of  life I crossed India,stepped in to the different world other than mine............

Went to Airport early in the morning,I was there before 4 hours(3 hours is enough,konchem over enthu le edo telusukovalani :)) I wanna familiarize with surroundings and observe things.
One of my colleague also accompanying me, we both went to check in the luggage then to the immigration counter crossed all the levels as if we are winning the different levels of the battle.

I didn't had anything in morning so planned to have a tea,We went to the cafe there and asked for tea,To our  excitement Tea cost was Rs.70,we are shocked but decided to taste,it was worst Tea I ever had,compared to that my PG Tea was good ;).Me and my colleague cursed them like anything.Time has come we have to board the flight,I was expecting like as in movies  we will go to runway and ascend the steps to get into the flight but it was different we went through enclosed tunnel kind thing and we are into the flight, there we passed  to the Economy class crossing business class,business was too good,Economy was conjusted no proper leg space,I felt normal Volvo bus is far better than this.In flight also people encroached our luggage cabin (Perfect Indians,Kerchief style in buses :) )and we are thinking where to keep the hand luggage,then I told my colleague to remove that luggage, immediately the owner stood up and adjusted the luggage,I thought even in flight also they are doing this.Bad luck we didn't get the window seat,Started 1 2 3 ............... its movingggggg           flight was taking off hurray............After sometime I felt uneasy I didn't feel like eating anything except water and some juice.

We landed in the Dubai Airport,It was the big one,with so many terminals and Duty free shops so on so on...from Dubai we have connecting flight to Khartoum city,as we are into the second flight it was less occupied but after five minutes there was a huge crowd I thought is this airbus or RTC bus,guess what all of them are chinese I don't have any opinion as of that day,It was just like fishy market making noise and not listening to the crew members the person who is sitting next to me has eaten some gutkha I guess ,I was irritated am very sensible to those kind of smells everything was a big mess ching chung chu some noise,smell my GOD was praying to get out of these as soon as possible,but among those I saw a handsome chinese guy ;).

The whole day I was seeing plastic smiles, guess crew members,I dont know how many lipsticks they use for one time,I dont think they are applying lipstick to lips they are dipping their lips in that gel.When we are alighting there happend a funny thing one chinese guy is sleeping like anything hostess is trying to wake him up,he said ha ha and again sleeping it was very funny...;)Finally we reached Khartoum ;).This is the time for me to keep a plastic smile,one lady in Khartoum suggested us to be smiling during the immigration check for smooth completion,I went to immigration counter the people they talked something in Arabic and laughing themselves.Anywayz checking has done.

The City is completely different,its a country capital looks like tier 2 city in our country.I started observing about the lifestyle of people and culture costumes.

There are very friendly down to earth,hard to find people like them here.dressing style is completely different.Young girls wear long skirts and the married woman sarees(they just roll the saree around),No one can beat Indians in the traditional Saree get up.

Food ha they only eat Non veg (bf,lunch,dinner)......................

Visited Nile felt proud like Visited the longest river in the world(Studied in social in school).

Fortunately there is one shopping mall there we used to play snookers and bowling...

Found out few Indian and pakistani restaurants like Little India,Papa coasta etc.

It was good and safest trip...........

Everyone dreams for US,UK etc., I got the different oppurtunity, experiencing everything in life makes life more meaningful, after all,all are human beings.
