Sonia, 19, Mumbai, India
Mumbai airport , the place where love, hugs, goodbyes and kisses overflow. Airports always have an intresting niche, they are always filled with vibrant characters. This time when I was at the security check, an old auntyji was asked to empty the contents of her bag. She politely explained that she was carrying aloo sabji, bindi sabji and roti for the kids. She also went on to say that "I didn't carry anything else because I'm scared of men with guns".
I was also surprised to see so many Alzheimer's' patients who always leave their phones for the security guards to gape at. After all the endless procedures I found my way to the flight. Here is where you meet your new flightmate who will be clinging to you for the next 4 or 5 hours. Well, one of the most important lessons I learnt during my flight travel was that if you don't have sleeping balance, you might as well stay awake with toothpicks in your eye. I say this because my flightmate gobbled his big Mac burger like he had been starving for ages and then he went to sleep. And I went to sleep too, after a while I ended up falling on him and he woke up as though a big earthquake had struck. I had clearly learnt my lesson.
Every travel experience is like opening a new gift, it's new, lively and exciting.
