I was not sure what to expect when I landed at the Tbilisi airport in Georgia. Although the flight was only two hours from Istanbul, I was still uncertain about what awaited me in this former part of the Soviet Union. The airport was modern but small, and I cleared passport control with ease as I had a valid visa and all my documents in order.
As I walked out of the exit door, my eyes fell on a very beautiful Georgian lady with tattoos on her hands and around her heaving breasts. Somehow, my eyes followed her, drawn by a pull I still can’t explain. “You need a taxi around Georgia, you tourist?” She smiled and gazed at me as I tried to steady myself. “Yes, I am here for traveling. I am from India and staying at the Ramada Hotel,” I explained, still unsure where the conversation was headed. “Oh, I have a taxi. We can take you to your hotel,” the lady said.
An Enchantress Called Nino
She was indeed very beautiful and she knew it. She knew that her enchanting eyes and hourglass figure would attract tourists like me from faraway lands. “Can I change some money first, then we can go? I will come with you,” I told her.
Soon, she took me to her car, a spanking BMW. It was a luxury taxi, that’s for sure. “This is my brother; he will drive us. Hello, my name is Nino, Nino Davitadze.” We drove for twenty minutes and soon arrived at my destination. I am a fool when it comes to women and, just like any man, could not resist Nino’s charms. “Well, I am here for three weeks. You are in the tour guide business, why not take me around the country? I want to see all of Georgia, one city after another. I am a Bollywood actor, you can Google me,” I introduced myself.
The entire next evening, we explored the city, drinking wine in the famous bars of Tbilisi. I will share with you some of the pictures and the panoramic view of the city from the top of a hill. More than that, it was the conversations with Nino that I enjoyed the most. She is a girl who loves tattoos and witchcraft. I knew we had common interests and that we would hit it off. I am still waiting for the night to end, as I am still tipsy from the wine and our many conversations.
