“Kuchh safar sirf zameen se door nahi le jaate, balki khud ke thoda aur kareeb le aate hain.”
Pehli flight ka excitement alag hi hota hai…
Aur jab usme tumhare saath ho tumhara humsafar, toh baat hi kuch aur hoti hai.
Yeh safar tha — Ahmedabad se Malaysia, meri pehli international udaan.
Raat ke ek baje ka take-off, aur subah ke 8 baje Kuala Lumpur ki landing — raat se subah tak ka ek poora cinematic chapter.
Aur haan — meri window seat reserved thi, kyunki mujhe toh asmaan se pyaar hai.
🌃 Take-Off: Jab Sheher Raat Mein Taaro Ki Tarah Chamka
Ahmedabad airport se flight udi toh neeche ki lights ne poora sheher ek glittering map bana diya.
Wife meri baju mein thi — pehle toh usne bhi window se jhaank ke “wow” bola, lekin thodi der baad uski neend ne usse pakad liya.
Uske bagal ki seat khaali thi, toh maine armrest upar karke usse thoda aaram se sulaya.
Aur main? Main toh khidki se chipak gaya — jaise koi pehli baar chhat se taare dekh raha ho.
“Raat ke andhere mein bhi sheher roshan lagta hai, bas nazar safar wali honi chahiye.”
🛫 Upar Asmaan Mein: Andhera, Shanti Aur Wo Engine Ki Halke Si Dhadkan
Sab so rahe the. Cabin mein sirf halki si roshni thi aur engine ka woh low humming sound — ekdum therapy jaisa.
Main khidki ke bahar dekh raha tha — pehle kuchh nahi dikha.
Bas ek endless darkness, jisme kabhi kabhi lightning ke flash hoti.
Phir… ek waqt aaya jab sab kuchh badalne laga.
🌅 Aur Phir Aayi Subah: Jo Andhere Mein Chupke Se Nikalti Hai
Khidki ke kone pe ek patli si orange lakeer dikhni shuru hui.
Woh subah thi.
Asmaan ke us kone mein, andhere ne roshni ke liye raasta chhoda tha.
Aise laga jaise raat ne khud keh diya ho, “Chal tu aaja, ab tera time hai.”
Main literally speechless tha.
Baadal ke upar se ukti subah…
Na Instagram filter, na cinematic effect — bas asli, raw, aur dil chhoo jaane wala.
“Wo ek lakeer nahi thi… wo meri pehli international udaan ka pehla rang tha.”
📸 Ek Tasveer Jo Maine Sirf Mehsoos Ki
Haan, maine photo bhi li thi — jisme plane ka wing aur horizon ka woh glowing orange tha.
Lekin asli tasveer toh mere dil mein thi.
Us waqt, jab wife so rahi thi mere kandhe pe, aur main poore asmaan ko aankhon mein samet raha tha —
woh moment kisi bhi postcard se zyada khoobsurat tha.
🛬 Landing: Jab Ek Raat Ki Kahani Subah Mein Pighal Gayi
8 baje ke aas-paas hum Kuala Lumpur utre.
Wife uth chuki thi, neend bhari aankhon se muskurate hue pucha,
“Subah ho gayi?”
Main sirf muskuraya, kyunki main already ek subah dekh chuka tha — jo un aankhon se zyada dil mein lagi thi.
❤️ Ek Flight Jo Kabhi Khatam Nahi Hoti
“Pehli udaan sirf destination tak nahi le jaati…
wo tumhare andar ke asmaan ko bhi jaga deti hai.”
Yeh flight sirf Malaysia ka safar nahi tha.
Yeh ek ehsaas tha — ki tum jab window seat se subah hoti dekhte ho,
toh tum sirf travel nahi kar rahe hote… tum zindagi jee rahe hote ho — seedha dil se.
