Just like there is method in madness, there is charisma in chaos. It's this madness and charisma at the airports that draws me in. Back-to-back announcements speak of exits and departures; rushed footsteps of late-comers; conversations in coffee shops suggesting who want the caffeine to kick in so that they can read on the flight or watch a flick; confessions of airport shopaholics at duty-free shopping areas; and restless (priceless) expressions of those whose bags arrive the last at the luggage belt (almost convinced that they're cursed) are worthy of being framed. The urgency to make that last call before you board the flight and the hope of connecting to a free Wi-Fi are other such moments. The Juicy Couture track pants, amongst other fashion items, seen on passengers in the Business Class queue is a lesson on what's ruling the runways and fashion streets.
Love. As children receive their parents or as parents welcome a child returning from the university, now a graduate. Heartbreaks, pointing towards relationships that didn't fall in place. Dreams, which make work trips worthwhile. Tears, hugs, sighs. Farewells, congratulations. I can promise you that the spectrum of emotions can leave one overwhelmed, spellbound - one just needs to observe closely.
Do I ever fear a relationship itch? No! Why? Because irrespective of the hour you are at the airport, the destination you are flying to or flying from, the colour of your passport, the air miles you earn, the low cost or luxury carrier you book yourself in - the emotions remain unchanged.
The next time you fly see if you can identify them, touch them. I promise, you will be besotted.
