A few days back...

My first time at Chandigarh airport. Small, cute, nicely done... Most travellers seemed to be in groups, some groups traveling to Mumbai or Goa, some returning from their excursion in Himachal or other parts of the North. Mummy jis, Daddy jis, youngsters, little ones, cousins, uncles, aunties, even grannies!

After checking in, I got busy with my iPad; the smell of food made me look up, and unbelievably every person sitting there was eating something or the other; some had taken out their tiffin boxes that smelled of parathas and achar, some were buying stuff from the little shop that seemed to have every food item starting from chips to biriyani!!! And to add to it, a couple of pigeons appeared from somewhere and started to move around the people who had food. Very few single ladies or men sat there with a book or news paper in their hand, as if to run away from the aroma of food. Had everyone come from home hungry? 

The announcer at the airport, I am very sure, had his previous job at Big Bazaar. Every now and then he was announcing something while we waited for the flight to be ready for our boarding! Unusual experience, of course, but interesting!!!
