Took a flight this weekend. Realised something today.

I went home on Friday Finally after 4 months of boring adtech sprints and life, took a break. Today was Day 1 back at work. I was in my hometown for a while doing normal stuffs. i returned on Sunday and then started thinking. Here is the summary.

1. Lots of middle class guilt in my head. Every flight ticket would attract 1000s of questions from parents
2. Most train journeys require high patience - 30+ hours
3. Traveling and finding time to rest is tough.
4. Booked direct flight, took cab from airport, paid for extra legroom (very low availability), Ordered on swiggy, bought airport coffee(worst of all), Uber
5. Sleeper trains are the worst - gave side upper berths and ghosted by TT after getting waitlist. Had to follow up multiple times but to no avail. They ate my whole 2 days
6. Some flights were different - in one I had to board very fast. That's it. Wasn't sleeping as I was looking up for turbulence on internet.
7. Overall growing up it was a very boring and tiring process. I somehow maintained my sanity. Buying time is just a basic adult necessity now.
