Well, after almost 20 hours of travelling, we made it safe and sound. The flights were fine but crowded. People were either over-the-top nice or (more often) not so much. For example, try arriving near the end of boarding only to see that no one has left any space in the overhead bins and you and your family need to find room for 5 carry-on bags. People show their character pretty quickly when you ask them if you can move your stuff.! !
We arrived in Mumbai at 2 in the morning and were greeted by the monsoons. As expected, the 30 min drive from the airport to the beautiful building we are staying in was full of contrasts. Leaving the airport, my first impression was that of growth and construction. Later in journey we noticed the dogs in the street or the occasional person sleeping on the sidewalk or in the bus shelter. It's an interesting way to start your journey into India. In the night you only get glimpses of what will be revealed later!
