Opportunity cost...

Its mid day in Chennai, sun is going about its business as usual...
I decide enough is enough its time to head back home...
Walk out of my place of work at six in the evening & contemplate which mode of transport to seek...

Bus -> a stone away from where I live
Rail -> nine kz away from my place however more convenient especially it being a night journey
Flight -> Crops off two dimensions -> time (hours) & width (wallet)

There is no way on earth I'l suffer in a bus for twelve what with an alternative existing...
Train's have always interested me but the fact that I am an impulsive perepatetic made it virtually impossible for me to seriously consider them to satisfy the wanderlust in me...
(I can never forget the experience that I had while travelling general class overnight... Mumbai to Ahmedabad, what actually scared me furthur is a friends observation that he has spent worse times in a general cubicle...)
By employing the process of logical elimination I am left with only one choice -> to fly...

Reservation time...
Which airline to take & whats the ideal time...
I run googles to go to all the home pages, compare the prices & schedules, start off by eliminating those which do not feature on my preference list & those that are not convenient...
I finally make my reservation & head to the airport...

One hour from the time I board I am in good old Hyderabd...

Signing off...
