Downing the last sip of beer, Alan assured me; “Brotha, an airhostess, a model and a doctor. I will date them. And who knows when one might find their kind.”
“Air hostess?,Oh God Me Too. Why not. But, isn’t that being over ambitious even for you ?” – I said as I chugged the beer.
Kept the change back in my pocket, gulped a big one down and tried listening to what my friend was shouting in my ears. Drowning music, tiny smoke clouds floating over and lack of space and partner to dance… and I felt for n-th time, ‘Oh Yes, same old 10D. I might as well be listening to ‘Lemmon Tree’ – nothing ever happens.’
However, that evening went by a bit differently. Quite spontaneously but strangely I danced with her. After a while when we extended hands to formal introduce each other, it was only matter of putting two and two together for me to figure out that she is the Flight Attendant. Deductive logic used for some other discussion but here I was shaking legs to deafening music at a local club with her.
Now, from a spy to a postman, from an astronaut to a clerk, from a painter to a judge all are potential great human beings but share different Professions and hence share a different aura. And owing to Alan’s conversation, it felt reasonable to be thrilled about profession of the person I had just met.
There are a few times when you feel and act much younger than you are. You ought to remember those.
For what it’s worth, sitting on the pavement - drunk and hearing the personalized fasten your seat belts announcement was unique and will bring smile every time board flight.
It was only a while later at an after-party that I learned that she was also an interesting person that I would have like to meet again.
