Humanity at Boarding gate D46

  1. Newly weds returning from honeymoon - tired, weary-eyed but excited at the same time. Hesitant to go back to the daily rut, yet relieved at the thought of awaiting familiarity.
Aside: There's no way you could hope to spend all the time in a marriage unless you are willing to indulge in inanities like discussing the colors of your other-half's bangles. Its a beautiful thing - listening to her describe the variations in shade and what PnC she could do with them - sharing the most insignificant of things. All the same what a sad waste of human intellect - you haven't thought anything new, planted no new seeds, discussed no issues - the brain has slept through.
Little wonder Einstein never married happily.

  1. Business traveller, travelling alone - no expression, probably rehearsing slides in his mind - there's a job to be done.
  2. Friends from the same native place working abroad - happy to be going back home, checking their elation being mindful that they've got to come back.
  3. Family back from vacation - all pleasant, looking forward to the locked gates of the dusty home. Definitely less irritable than when they'd started on the trip.
  4. Girlfriends on shopping weekend - chirpy, conniving, too eager - with not a care to anything else.
  5. Girl going away from boy - teary-eyed, furiously keying away SMSes to lover boy.
