Long Days and Short Days

Some days in our life passed along so slowly, that one second can feel like a lifetime. Some days just go pass so fast, the would just feel like minutes.

One sometimes wonder why is it that when we are happy, the days passed so fast, while when we are sad, the time just seems to crawl?

If we believe in the balance of the universe between night and day, time by right should be constant, regardless how we feel. But it is not. It is not balanced and it is not impartial.

I had one of the longest and trying time of my life in the last week of March waiting for events to unfold which are beyond my control. Man, am so glad its over!! Time for me that week seems to shuffle from slow to fast and it was then I felt that live is pretty exhilarating.

Frankfurt Airport

On a recent trip to Geneva, I had for the first time, the unfortunate experience of missing my connecting flight and hence, having to stay overnight at the Frankfurt airport hotel. 

The airlines took care of it and even gave me vouchers for a feast of a dinner and a very decent breakfast. Knowing me, it is a waste as I hardly eat breakfast. Furthermore, at 5am the next morning, the restaurant wasn't even open.

The hotel I stayed in was pretty decent, its clean and very efficient. The thing I noticed is, how many of the people I saw was in similar situation like me. I doubt anyone would want to stay in this hotel which is at the airport. Everyone I see looked tired and frustrated just like I am after having been in the plane for 12 hrs and now, have to be stuck in transit for another 4-5 hrs of hardly any rest and the thought of waking up at 430am in the morning and heading back to long queues the next morning and security check is NOT appealing.
