After new year's blast in California the trip is not over yet..The adventure continues..Due to some unforeseen events, I am forced to spend a night at the airport!!
Well its not I, its WE.Me and my friend..Finally one night at the airport!!Since childhood especially in the primary school, we all had a very irritating subject for essays in the language exams.."One hour at the railway station", "One hour at the bus stop"..I am sure all of us are "PRO" in writing this essay! One of my cousins has the essay so well prepared that he just changes terms according to the place whether its bus stop or its the railway station..Place 'train' in place of 'bus' or 'platform' in place of the 'bus stop' or 'ticket checker' on 'conductor' and his essay is ready!!
Well I am not writing an essay right now..I hope this post is not giving you that feeling!Now lets get back to the LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT..So as I said, due to some unforeseen events I had to take some flight early in the morning..So being a caring and loving friend, my friends did not let me go to the airport..And knowing him, I saw no point in arguing.. But I am really thankful to him for joining me there.. Its hard to imagine what would I have done for such a long time..
So, we reached the airport in the night at around 10.30-11..Got the boarding passes..Then we had the whole night in front of us..Very Very excited..First I thought, its a great thing, finally we would be able to talk for a long long long time..So we went to the International terminal as their is no one at the domestic terminals in the night..Ok so, talking!!But then we realized we have no topics left to discuss the whole night..Then comes food..We grabbed some burgers and Fanta from McDonalds..Now we need a place where there is a charging station so that we can watch movies!! Well watching movies can be fun..There we realized, we have company!!There are many people here at the terminal..Most of them are sleeping..Some are chatting..Others are eating..Reading books!!And one guy who had been at the airport for last two days!!With no money and no food and no charging cord for his iphone!!
This guys was going to UK, but due to some weather conditions, his flight had been delayed..And somebody had stolen his wallet too..He was exercising, listening to music, talking to almost everyone..He was different..He had been in the united states for almost 11 years now..He hardly did any schooling in India..But he has seen every Indian film..All the movies, the old ones, the new ones, the hit ones, the flop ones!!ALL THE MOVIES..Before meeting him, I thought I have enough knowledge about hindi movies and songs but I was totally wrong..He could sing any hindi song with the right lyrics..He was talking about the songs and movies which I had never heard of!! He was giving his american accent to the hindi songs!!Hats off to him..How can anyone be so passionate about movies!!But I must admit, we spent quite a time with him..
In the morning, we returned to our terminal, I never thought there people actually get up and board flights at 4 in the morning..Then the security check!!After spending the whole night at the airport and after struggling very hard to make sure that everything gets into that small bag, if the officer opens your bag and removes your stuff, you fill awesome!! Finally we reached the gate and sat(almost slept) there for sometime before boarding the flight..
Finally I can say, now I can write a good essay about a night at the airport!!
