Landing in India during the christmas(winter ) break in 2003-04

Kaushik de replied "I know him" I said " tell me whether Ninoy acquino
Is male or female "and to my surprise he replied Ninoy is female. May be he knew about him (Ninoy)or acting still I cannot understand that you are in Philippines and you don't know the Rajiv Gandhi of Philippines ( almost).I remarked that Ninoy is male And he was a much beloved husband of the former president Corazon acquino.
I was wondering may be this guys are short on the knowledge of contemporary Philippine politics. Well ! we reached the airport and did the formalities like having our tickets checked for the boarding pass, security check etc etc. And our flight was scheduled to take off at 4:00 pm in the evening but due to bad weather, and some technical faults it was delayed by one hour.Shortly after the conversation , we boarded off the Royal Brunei Airlines and after some half an hour the flight took from manila and we were looking at it from the sky and little did I wondered that what an exciting cum eventful period I had in manila right in the last six months. Our flight landed in Singapore where kaushik was expected to pick up his mother onhis route to kolkatta.
As expected our flight touched the grounds at Singapore where we went out for twenty just to refresh ourselves. After some time the flight took off to kolkatta from Singapore after taking all the passengers from Singapore stoppage.
In this part of the journey I had good talks with manish goyal in which he mentioned that students are facing hard times and willing to do almost anything in order to get the cash money. I had to tell him that next three months are quite crucial for me as something is going to be decided shortly. I have landed in kolkatta at about midnight at around 1:30 am to reach my house at about 3 am on the next day. It was a much needed welcome break in the country as I slept well for the next two days and I kept on remembering how it was in India during the last time before leaving for the Philippines and now after having one visit to it.I met my friend in kolkatta within next week and talked about my initial experiences in Philippines. I have realized not many are even aware of where the country Philippines is located ! Forget knowing about it. Roughly eight out of ten Indian does not know about the country philippines in a proper way taken by random sampling
