Flight was very early, asked a friend to drop at the airport.

After entering the immigration area, there was a group playing music. Immigration queue was short. I was asked by immigration officer purpose of visit in a friendly way. I answered his question in Hindi. Had my passport was stamped and said to enjoy the trip. I thanked him, headed to collect baggage. Since I had nothing to declare. Walked out of terminal to be picked by friends.
