It was in 2010, when I was seeing off DTMU students at the
Mumbai Airport. They were going with dreams in their eyes to do MBBS inGeorgia. Their dreams were big and so was their baggage. I was quite surprised
to see that most of them had an overweight baggage to the tune of about 20
kilos and more. How did that happen?
Indian food, masalas, MBBS books, clothes – lots and lots of
clothes etc, everything in huge quantities, but why didn’t they weigh their
baggage at all? Most of them were shocked to find the cost of extra weight.
So, that was also a lesson for us to emphasize on this subject in every
seminar and meet with the students and their parents.
Very good quality clothes are available in Georgia; at a very
reasonable cost. In fact it is advisable to purchase clothes from there itself
because the designs and the styles are different. That really helps in reducing
the baggage weight. Secondly, we also advise them to purchase extra weight fro
m their airlines much beforehand. That weight is so much cheaper than what you
end up paying at the airport.
