3/2/24

Today was the first time I went through Terminal 2 of Kempegowda Airport. It is a new one, much has been said about it. Anything new seems to follow the same tapestry, all big and modern airports look the same across the world. I wonder if this sameness is nice, or is it a sign of laziness? Perhaps modernity is a common property of humanity, unbound by national borders.

I guess the sameness gives frequent travellers some stability.

As I walked through this airport, a smell triggered a memory. It reminded me of being tired, alone, stretched and traveling at night. Was this Finland or America- most likely both. It took me back to the feeling I had of travel. What a wonderful feeling, so little time to dwell. All on my own, my intellect and resources.

Still, alone. It is nice. I like such triggers. They are surprises.
