MY first trip to India was in 1985. With telex in hand and accompanied by a friend, Johnson Lim, we took the cheapest flight to Bombay (now Mumbai) which was Sri Lankan Airlines with a night stopover in Colombo. This was an important trip for me and my first business trip to secure a razor blade agency from Malhotra, one of the largest manufacturer of double edge blades in the world.
Most flights arrive at Bombay International Airport at about midnight. After taking more than an hour to clear immigration, we spent another chaotic hour looking for our luggage as the bags were piled up all over the place.
