As
I skimmed through the initial pages of Rishikesh Joshi’s Once
Again at the Airport the first emotion that surged
through me was of envy. I was jealous. This man got to travel so much
in the air that he penned a whole book about it.
Once
Again at the Airport is a breezy short read. It is
full of anecdotes and true experiences that the author literally had
in the air. Rishikesh’s witty observations will leave you in
splits. He has a way to discern the light veined humour buried under
the din of our mundane lives. So he shows us the potholes in the air.
The
book contains nuggets of information for the lesser mortals who don’t
get to travel by air as often as that of the author. So we come to
know about how flight times have increased in the new millennium
instead of getting reduced. We get to know the difference between an
itinerary and a ticket. The book offers some practical tips to secure
a seat next to the air hostess.
My
current mood is to read humour, particular those written by Indian
authors. Once Again at the Airport definitely managed to
tickle my funny-bone.
