OBSERVATIONS

The Indian mother daughter duo's American accented chats,

the quiet infant clasping finger of cuddling father,

sleepy pyjamas snuggling my neighbour,

black shawl sneaking her pretty contours,

front seat resting her painted toes.

A journey shared with strangers. 


Reeboks and Nike's immersed in cat walks,

accompanying duty bound smiles of air hostesses, 

The six feet pilot stooping to enter the cockpit,

an occasional chime scurrying the airhostesses.

Mingled thoughts floating in the clouds above.

The blue polka dotted carpet bouncing off emotions,

tapping tattooed hands, golden bangles and fit bits. 


Continents resting on tray tables,

groggy passengers adjust to time zones.

Destination visible, sudden rush to open seatbelts,

the little boy practising the newly learned A, B, C's. 

Panel's letters enjoying the importance,

await the next set of companions.
