Sauntering Down the Memory Lane - Three Decades Later

Wije & I were in one group and once a GF flight came pretty late and with big dead loads in & out too

To add more misery, the flight was overbooked as well.

He & I managed to finish our work ahead of time and sitting on the ledge of the old departure building near the gate.

Counters were not closed then and we were waiting for someone from GF to come and get the clearance to board the flight.

Usually, KP does this and instead of him, Kamalini M came to the gate and looking at the aircraft which was parked right in front of the gate.

Wije asked her what she was looking for and then she said KP had told, "Today I do not have to worry about the Ramp" and she was looking for who was handling the flight, as it was all quiet then no activity under the aircraft.

One of the Best Compliments, we ever got.

Wije was elated and said "How can I delay my own aircraft", confusing Kamalini more.

To put her at ease, he said to her "Look at the Registration of the aircraft".

It was A40TW Tristar.

Sadly, she did not get the joke.

Not only he was a good worker, but he was also extremely witty too.

It was a pleasure working with such guys in the past.

Rolling stone gathers no moss but it will get well polished.
