For last four years I have been travelling in and out of Rome. The
airport experience is unique and it teaches a lot for one who is willing to see
and look around. The time that one spends at the airport sometimes can be
enormous but can be useful and fruitful too. You get learn something new from
your co-passengers. The people who travel with you are different from much
point of views. They are joyous or worried, happy or disturbed. You got to look
at them and they tell you such a lot about them. Many of those who made
impression on me are those who are cool and calm. They go about with a smile.
Not getting annoyed or angry with anyone.
Most of those who are businessmen are sometimes show a lot of
worries on their beautiful faces. It is very clear that everything is not all
that good in life and business. Some of them can be heard screaming or shouting
on the phone. Some of them are cool on the phone but the anger is shown on the
faces.
While waiting for boarding the plane, you can
see a lot of kids with
their parents. These kids can help you to get over your travel anxiety. Some of
these kids go round and play. They come closer to the unknown and suddenly
blush with smiles. They just make you to forget your tiredness. There are those
kids that throw tantrums. Sometimes they really disturb you. You can see the
reaction of the parents. They just want their kids to be quite but they are not
able to be quite. Looking at the disturbed parents others feel sorry for them.
There are grown up children who quietly read books and behave very well. They
some times get engrossed in the books and that makes the grown up jealous or
even ashamed. The Children reading books, which are good, one and you can make
out from the cover of the book. There are children who play with the laptops or
smartphones. They don’t worry what is going on around them. They show up a lot
of expressions on their faces. Watching them playing with the electronic
gadgets you feel sorry as they just glue them. They are not worried about the
parents or other children. This is one of the biggest problems that the parents
are facing these days. Many kids are having trouble with their eyesight due to
heavy exposure to the electronic media.
Sometimes you find children who just go round touching every
possible thing in the waiting hall. They jump and hop around.
So airports are wonderful learning places. It is not only the
children who can teach but even the grown ups. Sometimes I wonder why do we
carry heavy loads on our back, instead of enjoying the moments that we receive
from the Lord. It is good to break free and allow the moment to grant us the
joy and happiness.
