It was a pleasant surprise that finally someone figured out the futility of the Swine Flu declaration form at Mumbai international airport. For the uninitiated whenever u land from an international flight there was a req to fill in a Swine Flu declaration form which asks various questions to determine if u could potentially have swine flu. You then get the form stamped from a medical officer at the airport before u can move out of immigration.
Brilliant prevention measure but the issue being that most of the times the MO stamped your form even without looking at you in the rush effectively defeating the purpose and only adding to the chaos in the small space.
However when i landed last night it was a relief that they finally have automated monitors for you to simply pass thru - No forms,no hindarance -- smooth passage.These monitors were first installed in (where else) - Singapore airport about a year back i guess and while late ultimately they have reached India.
BTW this sense of relief on smooth passage was short lived since as soon as u come out getting a pre-paid cab is a chaos in itself but thats for another time and blog
