तब और अब

Flight IC 427, Delhi-Srinagar, had just landed and we all were busy in attending it's arrival and dispatching back within an hour.. least concerned as why veteran actors, like Shabana Azmi and Sridevi were sitting in our small Backup room or Rekha ji was waiting in the lounge with a pup in her lap. I just overheard when our airport manager, Mr Mathur, turned down Sridevi's request saying: 'Madam, I have no time to get vip toilet open for you. Just use ordinary one.'

After such a hectic life at airports for years, the life, in part two, is now going as 'taking rest after doing nothing'! (FM radio awarded Neha two movie tickets for this line!) As the days passed, life came to a standstill as just visiting Hanuman temple at Connaught Place once a month. Nearby parks only are now proving to be the close friends to take rounds to pass time. What earlier a casual leave would have been the most cherished one, the present phase of unending leave is proving to be a silent killer! Tried most,but couldn't find a job in the Second Innings.. even as a Compounder at a Doctor's clinic!
