the terminal
The Terminal is this (terrible) movie featuring Tom Hanks getting stuck in an airport international zone for an indefinite time (and based on a real story that saw Karimi Nasseri remain in Terminal 1 of Roissy, for 18 years, when being there for a few hours is already unbearable!). In a similar spirit, we got quarantined to the international zone in Delhi airport for 24 hours, thanks to a missed connection. And to an Air India representative who could not be bothered in finding another route, letting us out to visit the city, or even providing us access to our bags. So we ended up waiting in the airport short stay hotel, around the clock, with a bed, food and wifi. Not the end of the World, obviously! And with a rather unique view on the registration desks below.

Welcome back! I still look back at my first 23 or so years of life in India and wonder how I survived there.
