My First Air Travel Part-5

Hi All,

In this blog I gonna to continue the saga of my first air travel experience, after some five minutes I heard an announcement coming from Fly Emirates counter that we can enter into the flight(EK 147). During that time we saw Jan Baan, he was sitting opposite to us and I smiled at him. But he didn't smile in turn, he just turn his face other side because he didn't know who am I and why I smiled at him. So I was wondering, how to make him aware that we were working for Vanenburg Software so that he will just smile at us.

I immediately, removed my jacket and I wanted him to see my t-shirt. Since it was our company t-shirt(Vanenburg t-shirt) and I was doing some gestures in front of him so that he will get some attention towards me and he will see my t-shirt at some instance, as I expected he saw my t-shirt and the Vanenburg Logo in it. Then immediately he stood up and came to us then he shook our hands and wished us good morning, how are you doing guys? we told him that we are doing good.

Then he asked us why you guys are here? I told him that we are here for Getronics customer project. He told us Yes Yes.. that was a great project for us and he also added we will get some more projects from them in coming years. Then he asked us how is the weather guys? I told him that it was too cold, he laughed at me and told us Yes Yes.. its true. But if you guys are in The Netherlands for few weeks you guys will be used to it. Probably he was right nowadays we used to it :).

Then he asked us how we came from Coimbatore and how was our travel experience? we explained him that we came from Coimbatore to Hyderabad, then from Hyderabad to Dubai and in turn I asked him, how you came from Coimbatore? he told us that he traveled from Coimbatore to Chennai, then from Chennai to Dubai. Then he asked us, how you guys are going to reach the castle? Is there anyone will pick up us from the Amsterdam airport?

We told him that Hans Don has arranged a cab for us, so no problem in reaching the castle, in turn he told Ya Ya.. that's good. Then he shook our hands again and told us see you guys in the castle, bye have a nice day and left us. I felt very happy that I had a talk with Jan Baan, since was I expected only a smile in turn from him and it was very rare to have a talk with him.

To be continued..

Thanks,
Ramesh Kumar Gurusamy.
