This is my job.

It was Saturday, 8 Feb 2014, I got a call from my big boss early in the morning around 6:30 am. I was about to leave my house to see off my wife to bus station for her visit to our native place Butwal after a long gap. I should say " Sorry darling, I got an emergency call. I think it will be late if you wait me. This is my job". She made sour face and gave her permission. She managed to go with her sister. It happened many times after joining travel trade business.

My big boss wanted to reconfirm whether my group booking were reconfirmed or not, at the last minute. Actually I did the same, while leaving my office on Friday evening. I checked itinerary, accommodation, and sightseeing schedule with my colleagues regarding our group arrival on Saturday as usual. But it went wrong. We missed the arrival time. One of my colleague was on good Friday mood and left the office a bit earlier, who was in-charge of it.

By the time I got message that stated arrival time was 9 am. I tried to call my colleague here and there. It was Saturday and I couldn't get through on telephone. My call couldn't reach due to some technical problem. Engaged tone. The answer is "please call later". I tried from my land-line and mobile. I couldn't get through. I got stressed. At last, I could talk to one fellow Kripa. He managed to talk to Nixon and rechecked. Yes! arrival time was missed and it was 9 am in that morning from Europe, Turkish Airlines. It was already 8:15 am still I need to get my Hi-ace. At 8:45 am I got my vehicle and rushed to Tribhuwan International Airport. At 9 am I reached Airport and checked the schedule. Ah... ! I got relaxed when I saw the monitor that mentioned the flight was delayed to 9.10 am. Hummm....! I took long breath and waited for my guests with placard.

While waiting in front of arrival lounge, I saw a familiar face coming out from the arrival lounge. Oh.! she is my sister Sijan. What a surprise? She was supposed to come earlier and delayed and changed her flight to Turkish Airlines. Ok bye. She said to me and went with my brother in law Gyanendra.

Again, I was waiting showing placard. One beautiful lady with a smile waive her hand. I look around me and again got eye contact with the lady. Yes....! She is waiving hands to me. I counted the number of guests. It was four. Then I confirmed. This was my group. I escort them to our vehicle.

While crossing Pashupatinath area, a teen aged girl was excited and pointed to a monkey in the street. I told them that we live in nature. It is naturally Nepal, once is not enough to travel. This is just a start up. You will see lot of amazing things like in amusement park in other country. While driving on the road, they felt like a roller coaster in rough road in Lazimpat which is still under construction.

After dropping to Hotel and I handed over my guests to my tour officer Nixon. I took the same vehicle to drop me back to my home. After few minute, the driver said there is no more fuel and he could not drop me to my home. I thought, he knew that I had no morning walk on that day. I walked. I enjoyed. This is my job.
