Time flies by if the situation you are in is favorable. But if you are in a situation that you have no need to be in then the time proceeds at snail’s pace. Mayank and Mandira were in exactly this kind of situation. Both of them wanted to get out of this situation, but this was not unusual. What was unusual for them was the fact that though both of them wanted to get out this situation they both wished in their hearts not to. Two strangers meeting en route a flight for the first time yet there was this unseen, unknown connection between them. A connection which was making them more than uncomfortable yet they had this urge to experience it.


Finally, Mandira broke the ice. She extended her hand towards Mayank and said “Hi. I am a Mandira. Mandira Jindal.”

Mayank just stared at her with eyes wide open and mouth too. When Mayank stared at her like that for a little longer than normal she again said and his time a little louder “I am Mandira and you are ?”

Before Mayank could come to his senses and answer the old lady sitting next to them answered with a smile “ A fool who fell in love at first sight. With you my girl.”


After hearing this Mandira could not help but smile and blush. Finally, Mayank’s composure kicked in though a little late. He took her hand and answered “Hello. I am Mayank Goyal.”

They had both seen that the silence between them can be a lot to handle so Mandira continued the conversation. She asked “So you are also on the first flight? You looked very composed at the airport, but here, in the plane, you are even more anxious than me.”

To this Mayank wanted to answer that he had been on more flights than she can count, but what came out of his mouth was exactly what he didn’t want to say. He said, “In a way, this is a new thing for me.”

Hearing this Mandira smiled and her smile made him smile as well.


Continuing the conversation he asked “So where do you live? Delhi or Bangalore?”

Mandira said “I live in Bangalore. Will be in Delhi for just two days. I am here for an event. In fact two days later I will be in a flight again at this time, going back home.” She looked at his smiling face and again started speaking “I am really sorry. I have been just blabbering things. You must be thinking that what an idiot I am.”

Mayank’s smile widened and he said: “No, the reason I am smiling is that I am flying back home in the same flight and it would be really nice to have a known face on the seat next to me.”


They spent the rest of the flight talking. Mayank had never talked so much to someone. After landing in Delhi he helped Mandira to board a cab to take her to hotel. After Mandira left he called his Secretary and said “I have to cut my trip short here. I have just two days so reschedule all my meeting and book me a ticket for the day after tomorrow on the flight which lands in Bangalore at exactly this time.”

Then he left for his destination after disconnecting his call.
