I was sitting on the floor , waiting for my flight in Chicago airport.There was this well dressed old-man sitting by my side. He saw my Passport and asked , "Are you from Canada ? " .
I said , "No , I'm from India " .
"Oh, the color of your passport is same as that of Canadian's"
Thats how the communication started. I was amazed at the skill of all americans to start a conversation . They just start talking and before you realise it , you'll have a really good conversation going on . And that is one quality that I was/am desperately trying to get .
There was an announcement and people started standing in a line infront of us. The old man , who happened to be a retired professor from some university in Kentucky , chuckled. When I gave a curious look at him , he opened up .
"Its so strange you know . We are cornered and the only thing we can see is the backside of these people."
"Yeah", I replied to that shyly ,"I was feeling a little embarassed to look up or straight"
"They should be the ones to feel embarassed, not us " .
I laughed at his remark.
He leaned closer to me and said in a whisper
"I hope they don't do a mexican"
Though I didn't understand what that meant, I joined his laughter. ( Now , I know its meaning ) . Thats when this elderly lady accidently stamped on the old man. He quickly pulled his leg back in pain. The lady turned around and apologized quickly.
"ohh.. I'm soo sorry " .
The old man was really quick in his response too .
"Thats all right . I enjoyed it " . He said that loud enough that everyone around giggled.
She also joined the laughter and added, "If thats the case , I'm going to give you one real kick"
Old man changed his tone to sound like a request, "Oh please, don't do that . I'll enjoy every bit of that and then I'll climb into the same flight as yours, to get more."
The entire crowd burst into laughter. I was amazed at how these strangeers could connect so easily. Yes , these old people know how to have fun.
