It's a wonderful world
About an year ago, when flying back home, I had more than the allowed luggage. The Japanese couple in front of me had very few things and I asked them if we could check-in together to which they agreed. The flight got cancelled, and the three of us ended up spending the rest of the day together until we were put on the next flight. We talked about how they had met at a pottery class, their mutual love for travel and their plans in the India trip. I shared some homemade Indian food with them and told them few 'must-dos' in Delhi.. I had also shared that I wanted to visit Kyoto (their hometown) and they extended an open invitation to me. Today as I file for my Japanese visa, I pinged them to check if they are free for a dinner - almost after an year of meeting and even though we didn't stay in touch - the amount of warmth and excitement I am getting from them is overwhelming. At times, it is hard to believe there isn't magic in this world.
