This is Karma in its humorous self…

We were returning to Bangalore from our ten days Rajasthan trip. On the last day our bus was heading towards Jaipur airport. It was a package tour with about 40 tourists from Bangalore.

There was this couple who always fought with others over the bus seating, lunch seating, food, room quality etc etc. Bus seating was on first come first serve basis. On the last they sat behind us. The whole morning we had a tiring last part Jaipur sightseeing. After lunch as we traveled to the airport we were all dead tired, most of us sleeping after heavy lunch . Suddenly I felt my seat was wet. I checked and rechecked, yes, it was water from the back seat people's water bottle. I told them to check too. But they gave a cynical smile and continued sleeping, while their bottle kept dripping. I moved fwd on my seat and sat closer to my husband after removing the middle hand bar. My afternoon sleep went checking my position to keep off the wetness and the embarrassment.

Our flight was delayed by 2.5 hrs. (Indigo) as the flight returning to Jaipur from Delhi was itself late. Finally we got in and planned to have a nap as our food was already served by the airport Indigo counter staff due to the delay .

As soon as we slept for some 15 minutes after take off there was some commotion over cold water dripping from the plane's AC vent. Much as the staff tried blocking it with towels, tapes and other fixes it kept pouring out in faster streams. It was some unexpected mechanical problem, but nothing serious.

The plane was full and passengers couldn't be shifted to other seats. Two passengers screamed at the crew and stewardess, they got drenched more as they sat right under the pour. Yes, they were the same who wet my bus seat some hrs ago. Yes, they got down as wet crows at Bangalore.
