That early morning, so much was the security that even though he had already arrived Leh a few minutes back, yet my tiny backpack was not allowed as cabin baggage but had to be checked in!indicaspecieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04082836899942612554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-86386853777176007322008-10-16T08:29:00.000+05:302008-10-16T08:29:00.000+05:30@deepti: It was good (because it was so unusual!).
