First taste of home

Boarding the Continental flight was a refresher course on how things work in India. At the gate passengers huddled, pushed and jumped line to be the first ones to board. Continental doesn't discriminate and didn't want mothers with babies to board first. That's a privilege only for "elite" status passengers. Ahan cried hysterically as we tried to somehow make it to the gate. My American son never had so many strangers invade his personal space. At one point, Iku took him and tried to calm him singing "wheels on the bus". I finally somehow got through the gate without crying hysterically, losing my baby or my belongings.
