Long distance lovers

Yuhooo..Its a long weekend again:O The Thanksgiving holidays. Wow, its just wednesday and in retrospection, I havent quite worked this whole week. I will be in town for a change, this long holidays and I am probably going to unwind and finish up my paper. I certainly will. Somehow, beginning the month of November, everything here is happy and merry. Everybody is making plans for the holidays. They have family reunions. Shopping sprees. Endless joy. Vacations and trips. I saw quite a few people, taking off early today. Some were driving down and quite a few had an evening flight to their destinations. Long distance lovers, waiting to spend some decent time with their lovers. In this country, holidays are hard to come by. Sometimes, people whom you love are located on the other side of the coast. As stressful it might be, people see each other through it. You also spend almost half of the day shuttling between airports and missing/delayed flights. Even then, when you meet you are able to spend 4-5 days, after waiting for months. Neverthless, those few days are so precious that you catch up with all the months that were spent in eager anticipation. On one of the occasions that happened with a friend of mine. She and her boyfriend lived miles apart and used to fly every long weekend. They still do:) This happened at the airport. When her flight was scheduled for 12:00 PM. The guy came to drop her at the airport. While checking her luggage, the guy casually asked if there were any empty flights after the one that was scheduled. So the airport authority (AA) said, "Yes, there is one at 12:20 PM." The guy immediately said "Put her on that one" The AA said "It would cost you an extra 100 dollars, considering that you are on time for your scheduled flight and you have not missed it" The guy said " That is OK" The AA said " Man, you have spent an entire holiday with each other, how much more are you going to catch up, in 20 damn minutes, after spending a 100$ amount"?? The guy quipped "Every moment and money that I spend with her is priceless and cannot be equated to a meagre amount such as 100$" The AA was actually touched, coz you don't get to see such lovers all that often. Bonus: The girl got a flight that was scheduled at later during the evening. Maanga 20 min, mila 2 ghanta:) Don't happenings such as this melt your heart?? Irrespective of distance, miles and any other "realistic" problems, you got to believe in a relationship to carry it on your shoulders. Sometimes, you are close even though distance is a barrier, and sometimes people who live in one house are seperated by unfathomable miles. As it is said "Distance can never seperate hearts, that truly love each other". *************************************************************************** Those who are not going anywhere, either dream about going somewhere or make best use of the time. For people like me, who invite trouble for themselves by being eloquent at wrong times, sit and write the paper in those 4 days:( I just invited this for myself. So here I end my holiday, even before it started. Damn. I have a party tommorrow and on saturday. Hope am able to attend those:( P.S: I have been attempting to finish this write up for past 2 hours and yes a lot of my thoughts have changed towards the end.
