Prologue

"Would you like something to drink, Sir?"
"Yes, can I have a Coke?"
"There you are!"
"Thanks, can I also have an Air Sickness Bag?"
"It is in the seat pocket, right in front of you."
"Oh, thank you."

I was finally at the threshold. I had always known this time would come, but every time I thought of it, I would have that little knot in my stomach; it might be just a dream after all. I looked out of the window. There it was; the city which'd had me enthralled since I gained senses. I would be back, Bombay; just going off for a little while!
