Relaxing in India in winter break in December -January 2004

I met my uncle and aunt and many of our locality people and many of them wanted to know where I used to study , what type of country is Philippines is? How far it is from India ? etc etc . I reached India on 14 december morning and I stayed there till 3rd January,2004. In the mean time I had one round in the british council library, National library, Nandan cine complex and Babu ghat. In the three weeks I stayed I did not had any problem from any Indian men / women. I could not contact manish goyal in his house forget about visiting his house in kolkatta ,Till now I have not visited his house once -strangely he did not even called me up to visit his house it is not him the same thing applies to Vikram surana and kaushik de - other two kolkatta based students.They never tried to maintain serious friendly relationship with me.
This thing was evident in the Institute where they hardly had sort of interaction with me.
As according to the booking , the 4th January, 2004 arrived and I got ready for the departure for the Manila by royal Brunei airlines which was the cheapest airline in terms of the ticket price. Boy ! they were rather at times a bit uneasy with the customer with their stinging un pleasant behavior cum remarks.At times these things come side byside with the cheapest airline tickets to the destination.
The royal Brunei airlines is operated by the sultan of Brunei who looks after the airlines as its chief mentor.
Any way , On 4th January ,2004 the flights (at the night) by which we were supposed to be boarding in got cancelled due to heavy smog/ fog in the cold winter month in kolkatta. The flight was post ponned till 10 o'clock in the next day.
