Did I tell you why it took approximately 11 hours for me to reach the airport gate?
Note - the officials did the best they could do in these (ab)normal circumstance.
Forms and forms - write down forms especially if you are coming from top Covid19 infected nations such as USA, Brazil, China, Russia, China and Iran.
Batches - there will be batches (of 30) as per alphabetics.
Home states - Segregation of passengers as per home states I:E Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, UP, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu etc.
Self Quarantine or Paid Quarantine - Now either you have booked the hotel or you have not. In either of the case the Delhi Police and Govt officials now take over and punch in details of each passport holder. By the way your passports are taken by the officials.
Wait Karo - you are now waiting at the large hall (scene looked more like a govt hospital, all queing up to enter respective wards). #wait
Conductor Saheb - Now I am eagerly waiting (after an 18 plus hour flight) and the first one to reach Nadi airport, for these gang to 'call out my name' rhyming ..lalala.. Basically, your exit fate now lie upon the DTC conductor cum driver who will be your Arjun and saarthi to your hotel.
11th Hour - whoa my name was called by bhaisaab and a batch of 13 per bus was packed and 13 passports neatly under the sharp Delhi Police Constable s custody. Aila, am out in the sun. Felt the sunshine and air after nearly 30 hours.
Spray before you enter- The roads were nearly empty so unlike Dilli. And the trip was made fast. Before you enter- the hotel, a fine anti something spray will welcome you to ward off the evil Covid19 virus.
Enter Paharganj - Some folks warned me of selecting a hotel where least testing is happening. I thought, how does it matter, since my area of movement and operation would be restricted to the toilet anyway.
Bus ऑल दिल्ली की feel लेने के लिए इधर आया हूं
Lol
My place for few days - I'll be holing up here at Hari Piorko (strange name) didn't make any sense (till now) for the next few days, before heading, somewhere I belong. Linkin Park type sound ringing in my head.
See ya
