at the airport!

For the first time in the last so many years, I checked in one hour before my flight. Yeah after a long while, it was odd to see that my name was not being announced on the terminal or the door was not almost shutting in front of my eyes!

Anyway - so I took this extra time to make two very important conclusions. Well, except ogling at the pretty looking female sitting across me in the boarding area; and unlike the usual CU girls - seemed to be talking substance to someone on the other side of her phone.

Ahem- back to the subject: so, the first conclusion was based on my observation of 2 men - both around 50 with partial white hair. The first person I saw was decked up in business formals; I saw him rush past the hundreds of other men standing in the general boarding area - he flashed his first class ticket and rushed into the priority line. Then I saw him again in the train - he was busy with his smart-phone, apparently checking email. Then I noticed his attire, his shoes, his composure - all were bleeding luxury! Then at the Terminal, the other person drove past me- in a pickup vehicle (which transports old people at the terminal). He had white hair too, wearing a green tshirt. So - end of story 1! What did I learn - I learnt that you can reach any where that you want in life. I could conclude that there is "absolutely" nothing different in the skill level or the calibre of the two men, and there is absolutely no justification of the fact why one earns more than the other. I concluded that it's all about being an opportunist. It's all about grabbing the opportunities and having your goals crystal clear in your head. I think the money you earn or the life you live has very less to do with your "calibre" per say. At the end of the day - maybe a little bit, but not a lot. It's all about how "smart" you are - and that's it!

Story 2 - ok let's make this quick! Saw a few kids at the airport. Cute, sweet little girl just dragged her one pound strolley on the seat next to me :) very cute. So - I concluded: my perception to children is changing. It's definitely not the same as it was a year back. I find them "adorable" now. Strange hah! Also scary! But, I guess this is a natural progression and this is a good thing :) nothing more, nothing less!

Ok, time to switch off cell phones. LA, here I come :)
