airport stories

So, I am traveling today to HOME. Yes, and I am very excited about it. But thanks to Air India I got stuck at the airport. I then went to KFC for some quick bite so that I can survive. Took my meal and sat there for some time. This is when something interesting happened. I am hereby giving the exact visuals of what I see for 2 hours sitting in a corner.

Two beautiful air hostess walked in talking to each other. All eyes in the room turned and so did mine. I skipped my beat but pretended as if nothing happened. They went directly to the counter skipping the line and nobody said anything. If I would have skipped the like the 3rd world war was just around the corner but yeah, they were not me. They took their food and sat on a table next to me. Lucky enough! I was seeing them from the corner of my eyes. This gave me a learning that whatever feels like a necessity to you or you find pleasure in it, you will not protest to glitches. Yes, they were glitches in the system. Products should be such that even a mistake don’t make people angry.

A foreign couple sitting in a corner were so engrossed in each other. It reminded me of a thing that when you are with someone you should be with them 100%. With mobiles becoming computers their interference in the life has become so high that most of the time we forget to talk and we start preferring chatting sitting in front of each other. That has started giving more pleasure to people. A resolution today of spending time with loved ones without mobile/ devices every day.

Mom bringing snacks for her child. Sound normal. Right!! She was at least 80 years old.  I didn’t see mom in last 8 months. I have spent days without talking to her on the pretext of work and tiredness. She is the one who is always there for me when I want her. Why can’t I do the same? This is something I have asked myself for long. So, let’s make a statement today and stick by it. I will come home when mom asks and I will talk to her daily.

A dad and son came and sat in front of me now. Again, the son with his mobile not actually listening to what his dad is saying. Dad is just looking around and smiled at me. I smiled back. Now, this takes me to the time I spend with my dad. I have always said him that “AAP nahi Samjhoge”. But he is older and wiser than me and has gone through all this that I am going thru. Then why I don’t listen to dad. So, let’s say that I will now at least listen to what my dad has to say.

A young guy with a headphone fell as he was not watching in the front while walking rather he was looking at his phone screen. Multitasking has become a style statement. But there is a downside of it. You become a jack of all and master of none. So, you are not able to focus on one thing and take it to completion. Off late I started doing multitasking to a level I am not able to cope up. I will cut it to at least 50% as I can’t survive without it.

A person waiting on the wheelchair. The first thought that crosses my mind seeing him is THANK GOD, I don’t have to go through all this. Thanks for at least making me capable.

After a month, long of tiring work at office
