The next ride

12:37 am, I just had a sudden urge to meet my second love, i.e., Chai. Her dark complexion and my sunny thought makes the perfect pair at this hour of night. I feel the perfect taste of it on my tongue activating all my brain cells.

The surrounding is extremely quiet and peaceful. I can clearly hear the sound of my wall clock "tick-tick". Another thing that's audible is street dogs barking at distance. I'm not sure what makes them super active at night (Ohh, I've some really bad experience with them).

The second most active living being are our wonderful cab drivers providing service around the clock, mostly to/from the airport. Speaking of airports, it is one of my favorite places to visit during nights. You might wonder - Do I travel outside the city so frequently? - The answer is NO.

It's for sure a great place to visit at night. The journey to the airport at NIGHT (during daytime, traffic will be a nightmare quiet literally) is pretty awesome. Airport gives such a good vibes that it has tendency to not let you go back home until the next morning.

If you've observed people around the airport, you would have surely encountered one of these:

  • A mother giving tight hug to her son/daughter leaving abroad. 
  • A father giving last piece of advice and marking the checklist of items. 
  • Family and friends saying goodbyes until next time. 
  • Several people expressing I love you and I am going to miss you even without uttering a word.
  • Selfie-takers showing their best skills to capture memories. 
  • People catching up their last overpriced meal or even dinner date before their flight.
  • A quite few latecomers running to catch their flight. 
  • Drivers waiting with a board at arrival for their passenger to join.
  • The happiness at one's face after getting the first glimpse of the person he/she was waiting for. 
  • Many of them struggling to board a bus/cab with their heavy luggage. 
The list is never ending. I know, this might sound crazy but if you've never visited airport for no reason, please try out the mini-adventure. If you need a reason, you can have great tea/coffee with a little happiness mixed into it. 

It is all about doing some small, stupid adventure and observing people around you. If you observe well, you will definitely get a feel-good vibe. An extra brownie point if you've a good company with you. If not, you can enjoy your own company and get connected with others over there without wifi/bluetooth.

Do say "hi" if you see me there at some corner. 

Disclaimer :
  • Don't drink and drive. Wear helmet if you're going by bike. Be extra cautious while travelling to airport. 
  • If going with wife/girlfriend, go with your OWN wife/girlfriend.
  • I mentioned observing people, please do not stare at anyone.
  • Airport = Bangalore airport
