Dreaming Optimist

We are still running to catch a window Seat.
We don’t know What Time the carrier may depart,
What time we may reach destination.
Air pockets compensate road bumpies.
People accustomed to eat and drink even at 2.30 am.
On board divided couple and crying child on show.
Sweaty take offs.

Once I was travelling in Indian flight to Delhi, I felt very happy the way grandma’s (Hostess) served the veg break fast with total care (No NV available, I was sitting with in first three rows), little bit broken hand rest on a side and no hand rest on window side, Lot of leg room, no need to disturb the co-passenger, flight was on time as usual dreaming that now onwards I have to travel by Indian though the perception that Indian is always late but only later I realised that due to poor occupancy they changed few rows of business class in to economy class without rearranging the seats.
