A rather unusual beginning to our fortifying stint with one of the leaping cat bearing insignia examples from the United Kingdom which was filled with drama and elation throughout!

It was 15 minutes past 6. Sipping a hot cup of black coffee at the Munich airport’s lounge gave us the guts to brave the cold wintery evening. Half an hour remaining for the flight back to India and talking about the grand city of museums and century old buildings made us a little emotional and sentimental (will we ever get this time back?). Flipping the pages of the car magazines in our carry bags was a sure shot diversion and it provided the impetus to look for something new.

Hey wait a minute?
