- That all decent radio taxi companies would be overbooked between 5 am and 7 am on a normal working Delhi Wednesday!
- That I was actually capable of gulping breakfast at 4-30 am in the morning!
- That half of Delhi would be at the airport before 6 am on a cold, working, winter Wednesday morning!
- That I could sleep uninterrupted for 2 hours in the plane on a 2 hour flight!
- That Mumbai would be literally hot and humid at 9 am in the morning, making me look like a clown in my thick, hip-length, woollen jacket, beads of sweat adorning my forehead!
- That it would cost me less to travel to the Mumbai office from the airport, than it did to travel from my home to the Delhi airport, even though the distance in Delhi was half, and Mumbai is supposed to be the more expensive city!
- That Ashish would be the first person I'd meet when entering the office!
- That they would actually open a coffee shop and a library in the empty space downstairs!
- That my key would not just open my Mumbai office locker, but also all other adjacent lockers!
- That my locker would have held on to so much of what I used to be, of what I had done, and what I still am!
- That I would be typing this from the Mumbai office, and thinking, 'Though much is taken, much abides...'*!
