After our Himalayan trek, me and my friend were dropped at Chandigarh bus stop at 4 a.m. in the morning. We didn't have any hotel booking as the bus was supposed to reach by 6. So we hired a taxi (yes, the taxi driver was a stranger) he dropped us safely at our destination, which was Chandigarh airport. We told the military personnel on guard, that we want to stay inside. He let us in, just informed us that the duty changes at 6 and if his reliever asks us to step out, we'll have to do so.
Once inside (the whole airport was empty that time) we kept our backpack aside and slept off on the benches. The duty changed at 6.00 but the other personnel didn't ask us to go out. In fact there were another couple (a girl and a guy) who were let in probably an hour after us, they were ask to go out, probably cause of the guy. But we were not disturbed at all.
We sat there till 3.00 in the afternoon, when our flight to Mumbai was suppose to take off. In between, I also took a taxi to go to the main market to buy sweets for home. Even that driver was Stanger but very safe. I told him I want to buy sweets and he offered to take me to the best sweet mart in Chandigarh. Needless to say, he dropped me safely back to the airport....
I really feel bad when girls generalize the situation and speak ill about their own countrymen. Esp when they say indian men are shitty, I feel like asking if they have the same views about their fathers and brothers as well.
