I think some of the Rajib effect is rubbing off on Sharmila too!

You remember how serendipity hits me when I am expecting it the least during my travels as I run into people from my past? Seems like in a short 7 days’ trip to India, Sharmila got a taste of it too.

First she ran into our old friends – Sanjay and Anita from Dallas (now live in Phoenix) in a hotel. Then she ran into Joydeep (also from Dallas who now lives in Minneapolis) at the airline lounge. Finally, she ran into my friends from early childhood – Nirmalya and Rituparna – who now live in Houston – while waiting to board the flight back home!!!

Lake Ilopango

We took off westward from San Salvador and then when we got over the Pacific Ocean the plane took a right turn (Madhu and Michele, please note this) and after completing a full circle, flew back over San Salvador city. With a clean view of Lake Ilopango.

If you can see the runways in the middle of the picture, that is the original San Salvador airport (now called Ilopango airport).

Another headscratcher

Boarded the plane and sat down in my seat. Tried to get some posts written before they ask us to stow away the laptops.

Do you see anything amiss in my screenshot?

I am in a Delta flight. But the wifi says United Airlines. I cannot see any United plane on my right. I cannot see on my left side (windows closed).

Interestingly, the Delta SSID is nowhere to be found. But I can connect to the United one!!!

Go figure!
