The Boarding Line

Updated: Feb 11, 2022




As I brainstormed ideas for writing this week's post, I walked down memory lane. While I was strolling, I came across this instance of eavesdropping on a random lady's conversation.


So in the winter of 2019, as I sat down at the airport, eating a sandwich and donut, I didn't even have a slight clue that I wasn't going to feel the same in a matter of 4hours. The sunlight was picture perfect, but I sat down chatting as the sunlight graced me with its warmth. But, before our talks could find an end, the time for me to go inside had already come.


I picked up my luggage and entered the airport. I was not even near to calm. Traveling alone for the first had to be intimidating. So as I got over with baggage drop and security check, I rushed to find my gate. Not that I was running late, but I didn't want to take any chances.


As I came near my gate, I breathed a sigh of relief. But now the second issue was that I had to spend 1 hour doing something because there was still time for the flight. Not having a smartphone meant not being able to do any virtual fun. So I put on my backpack and decided to explore the airport. As I walked through the airport, I came across this sweet shop and, it took me back to childhood memories of how elders used to get something when they used to come. So I decided even I should buy my parents something, with their money. As I explored the sweet shop, I could not find anything that would not include spending all my money. But as I searched, I found a packet of Dharwad Peda, and I knew this was it.


So, after buying that packet of Peda. I realized its time for me to board the flight. I ran to the boarding line and found myself standing in front of a woman busy on a call. They were chatting about movies, love, life, and gossiping. The boarding line had never seemed more interesting. The relationship between these two people is a mystery to me as the conversation is to you.


That moment, all I thought was how we want, to tag a bond. How, though we know the story, we want to know more of it. There was more to this trip. But this question shadowed my head as the curiosity to learn the conversation has shadowed yours.



Sending in beautiful vibes with a tons of hopes wrapped around it. And also buy yourself some chocolates to munch on, which you unveil the conversation mystery. In case you get your head around the mystery drop me an email at- threadoffeelings@gmail.com .
