Will Rogeres to Bahrain

It is really hard to realize what is united states by being in the country. I am flying back home today and lets start with my experience. I flied to Oklahoma Will Rogers to Chicago O'Hare International airport. Chicago O'Hare is a huge airport and my flight was late due to extreme weather in Europe. Well my next flight was Chicago to Frankfurt and as soon as I reached Chicago I realized it gonna be delayed for 2 hours. Okay fine, I decide to wander inside the airport. Everything looks normal, nothing especial. I realized the specialty when I reached Frankfurt. In fact Chicago has higher number of flight than the total number of people in Frankfurt and you can still notice the chaos! I took me an hour to find out the gate number of my flight, well may be I dumb ass, it took an hour for everyone. And then the security check point opened just two hours before the flight, it was not a problem, that particular security check point was originally for two or three flight so it was not that much rush. But most fun starts from then. Our flight was suppose to depart at 11:20am and we got into the place an hour before that and finally that plane depart at 1:30pm! and we had no idea what was going on. Well it is possible that any flight can be delayed due to severe weather in Europe but most funny part was the crew members was announcing that the place is going to fly within five minutes in every ten minutes! What a pitty!!! I know security of the passengers are most important and if can fly they can tell the passengers we can't, I didn't get the point continuous ridiculous promises!

When I was in the Frankfurt airport I saw girl sitting just outside the boarding area, and this is same for each boarding area. I went to the girl and ask why are you sitting here, she explained her responsibility is to make sure everyone sitting in that particular boarding are has the right boarding pass!!! I never imagined that some one needs to make sure that the passengers in a particular boarding area have right boarding passes. Isn't it the responsibility of the passengers to find the right place to sit so that they can have jitter free boarding?

Finally I got into Bahrain from where I am writing all these with there free WiFi!!! It looks like this airport is busy but not sure this is a very tiny airport even smaller than Will Rogers and plenty of people are roaming around. Here I notice one interesting thing, finding the passenger is the responsibility of the crew members, for each flight they are announcing with at least four languages for at least 5 to 10 passengers! I am wondering where are they??? In most cases they were found in the boarding area of that particular flight! Here is Bahrain people have severe problem with the flight or they just hate the airport authority and crew members. Either they don't understand what they are suppose to do or they just don't care!!! Most hilarious part is for every departing flight one crew member go to every boarding area and ask everyone if he or she is waiting for that particular flight! Apparently airports are not for everyone. I'll upload the pictures later.

Rhythm of My Heart

Across the street the river runs
Down in the gutter life is slipping away
Let me still exist in another place
Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy
Burning down the bridges of my memory
Love may still be alive somewhere someway
where they're downing only deer
a hundred steel towns away

Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness
light it up, light it up
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans
Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby
Oh baby

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing
I'll be sailing

Oh I've got lightning in my veins
shifting like the handle of a slot machine
Love may still exist in another place
I'm just yanking back the handle
no expression on my face

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
No never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
with the words "I love you" rolling off my tongue
Never will I roam for I know my place is home
where the ocean meets the sky
I'll be sailing

About me!

I have tried many times to write about me! This is blog is full of me, me and my complains. But I could not come up with something that represents me. I am sure this is not a very healthy situation. Not knowing thyself is not a very encouraging characteristics to have. Let me try one more time, what I can tell about me?

1. I am bad tempered.
2. I am complex (It is relative so I am not sure where should my name appear)
3. I often lie without any good reason.
4. I get tired of anything very quickly.
5. I don't have any hobby.
6. ...

It took quite a long to find all those and now I got stuck :( I am not all about these shitty things :( I do have some good things but I am not sure what are they. And now I am stuck, and ...

Going back

I am going back home this 18th, wow!!! After almost two and half years, should I be excited? Yes I guess. I am not too much excited, not very sure why? I have a kind of life here and I grow some kind of relation with this new life, may be I am just afraid of the change :( Not good, I am getting older and older.

I almost forgot the map of Dhaka city :( Sometime I feel like human beings are more rigid than trees, they can really grow their roots deep inside the place they live. I have some kind of relation with Norman, may be it is not my home town but it is the town where I lived for last two years and half. I am a emotional packrat, I keep emotions forever. Well maybe not true! Actually I don't, I almost forgot some faces, those were very close to me. I really don't understand myself :(

According to Rassel, I am a big hypocrite, probably I am, I am a big hypocrite.  I don't have many things left on me. I cheat with myself, I cheat with everyone every moment but still I don't know how to cheat with life. If one thing is persistent in my life that is probably my feelings about my life. I always hate my life, I always feels very very pissed off.

Beyond the Sunset

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I'll live in mem'ry's garden dear with happy days we've known
In spring I'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs blue
And in early fall when brown leaves call I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
The mem'ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done

Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
No less than shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem droll
We've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
Should you go first and I remain one thing I'll have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path for soon I'll follow you
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore
