Limousines in India?
Yesterday I had to go to Chennai, on an official work. The plan was to go there in the morning and return back by night. Morning flight was uneventful, thought the same cannot be said about the returning flight.

I saw the above car when I came out of the airport. Interesting! I have never seen this kind of car before in India (of course, it is not like I know of every car brand available in India!). It looked more like those looong limousines. The car zoomed past us and to add to the wound, my rented Tata Indigo broke down! The car sign looked like a Skoda, and it was AP (Andhra Pradesh) registration. Does Skoda make these kinda cars?
The return flight was scary! Perhaps, not as scary as the one I had from Italy to Belgium (a small Dakota kind of Lufthansa plane, shaking all the way, which practically eliminated all my fear for roller coasters :p), but the landing was terrific. Most probably the pilot misjudged the point of contact or something. Since it was around 11pm, people were sleeping or atleast in a “trance” state, but the jolt with which the plane landed, woke up everyone! First time I saw people screaming in a plane, for real, I mean 
The girl sitting behind me literally grabbed my hair, the person who was dozing off next to me banged his head on the front seat, woke up with a big “Aahhhh”….how I wished I had my camera with me
