The airport experience...

Super tight(I mean it) accessories, protruding bellies, super-cool rowdies and sharp glnces. Welcome to Banglore..i mean Bengaluru Airport. It goes without saying that the airport boasts of having one of the finest infrastructure of the nation. Add to it, the sleek outlets that promise to sway you. The result is a perfect modern infrastructure which caters to the need of travelers. But how stylish are the travelers?

Some ailing, some trailing, some laggards and some lizards(going by the super slim size); the pool of travelers provides a variety of samples to choose from. Make any permutation and combination, you would get every kind of sample specimen of homosapien residing in this holy earth.
As I continue to key in views of mine in the mobile, a lady seated opposite to me continues to drop items while picking from her purse.
“Bahut hai chahne waale duniya mein, tumhe dekhun toh kyun dekhun”…
A beautiful(according to me) girl marches aside with face focused like a solder parading in front of president on republic day. Neither am I president nor maverick. Surely, the song in the radio gives the answer as to why didn’t I receive any glances(I usually am at the receiving end of not so good glances infact).
How can I dare to continue this blog without writing about our so proclaimed ‘cool’ guys? Ironically they do not appear cool when they show up.  Half tucked shirts, ill creased jeans, grisly appearance and a goggle(this further worsens their fashion quotient) mares the appearance of these super-cool dudes.
Next, we come to the business supermen and superwomen. Yes, the professionals donning the business suits and engrossed with their palmtops, laptops and tablets respectively. Outlook express seems to be their oxygen throughout the journey, as any moment of separation(i.e. logging off from OL/ switching off the device) seems to be the “fish without water” moment.
As I was about to settle down in another waiting arena, I suddenly discovered one more species. A family sat beside me and the lady told to her husband “wait here, me(she and her son) are coming from there’ pointing her fingers towards shoppers stop outlet.
I was quite lucky to discover these categories during my stint in airport. I am sure than with the increase in air journeys I would continue to explore more such species. In case you fall into any of these categories, just chill!
