It is always frustrating to wait. Wait sometimes is a sole reason of messed relationship; making someone wait is a sign of being welcomed by some fists and some unwanted sounds and sometimes a bitter silence. But, if it’s your airlines that make you wait you become so miserable because every time they come up with an innovative reason and poor you have to believe.
When stuck in the domestic airport terminal owing to the delay of your credible airlines with some innovative reason that you do not care to understand and the waiting lounge of the domestic terminal offering nothing to do, some ideas popped up in my mind for utilizing the waste-to-become time! Here I share some with you.
1. Walk: If the last night was a night when you devoured Himalayas of calories, this time would be just a right time to burn them. Walk around the waiting area and keep changing your paces. It is sure that till you wait for your flight you might be some grams less. So Walk. Who knows you encounter some other acquaintances for your noble work.
2. Being a Hacker: Well, use this time to go across the secured wi-fi zone in the waiting area. Use the creative bone in your head. A try would be something worth doing in here. Or, if you can’t just remain afar from you facebook, just buy some hours of internet.
3. Be a Book Worm: With the tourism year here in Nepal and lots of tourists hovering here, you will get to see some interesting books in the town. And, if you are just lucky and see a pretty girl reading a book you know- well you got a starting conversation.
4. A free Call: If you are lucky enough and the contribution of Nepal telecom in the waiting lounge is working, guess what, you get to make some free calls. Use this time to call someone special and say you do not want to go leaving him/her. Or, just finish your business over the phone.
5. Drink lots of water: You must have promised everyday that today you would drink as much of water and indeed must have failed at the end of the day. If this is the case and you are stuck in the waiting lounge, then there is good news for you- the water service is a free thing to have in the waiting lounge. So drink as much as you can. But remember to go to loo before you board the flight.
6. Test your eyes: Ready for the vision test; First close your right eye and find exactly how many hours your flight is delayed, now close your left eyes and do the same- if both the time do not match, go meet a doctor. And, if they do match- close both of your eyes and swear for your airlines. *$@!*... Hey mind your language fellow!
7. Wait for the complimentary drinks: Here it comes- the award for your patience- your complimentary drink (of course a cup of cold drink) from your airlines. Just wish the flight is too late so that you become eligible to get that drink. See there’s always a good reward for being patience.
8. Write for yourself: If you have followed all the above steps and have nothing left to do then write for you, just like I did this writing waiting for my flight. So, I request add some points to these writing and wish all those who are waiting: Happy waiting, Happy Journey.
