Praise for Air France and Elliz
I landed in Paris at 10:10 AM and my flight for Bangalore was at 10:50 AM. Considering the fact that the Charles De Gaulle is huge, I never expected to make it on time to the aircraft. But I was greeted outside the flight by a very smiling and charming Elliz. She held a board “Passengers for Bangalore and Brazzaville” and took me to the terminal. I was chatting with Elliz all the way...
I am back!!!!
Its been long and I ve not updated this…I came back from Madrid on Tuesday and I am so relieved to eat South Indian food again. Its so so hard to be a veggie outside. Anyways, next time I go, I have planned to take a whole bag full of eatables.
Madrid was brillant, easy to explore and organised. Went to the main museums, Prado, Sofia, walked around Sol and Plaza Mayor.

Platinum Repayment Cover - Manhattan
I am furious over this. Standard Chartered which I always thought to be a great bank but they have deducted some amount on my credit card calling it “Platinum Repayment Cover”
I was fuming at the Customer Care Agent who confirmed that the amount would be debited. There are two reasons behind my fury.
1. I wrote a mail to my CFO asking him to reimburse the money. I assumed that Paypal...

The Kite Runner & Enid Blyton
