Reading at Airports

Nowadays I always make sure to carry some reading material with me while on the plane but somehow it doesn't quite work out. Last week was travelling to Chennai so bought "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger who also wrote the famous bestseller The Devil Wears Prada.

But couldn't get beyond reading first chapter really. The book makes for easy interesting reading so far. After finishing with check in and catching a bite to eat at the Taj counter in Chennai airport spend some time looking around for a seat to sit. Then decided to go for the security check in and after that decided to drink some coffee. Then I did manage to get a seat to sit and fished out my book but couldnt concentrate what with listening to the announcements and in between getting up to do some window shopping at a jewellery shop.

Then just thought will check the gate no and found that you have to take the escalator to go to Gate no 4 for all Mumbai travellers on Jet. So rushed there and by the time I again got a seat to sit they made announcement for boarding. In the plane after take-off i again fished out the book and started reading when the man next to me started talking and was forced to make some polite conversation.

Turns out he works with Paramount Pictures and we got talking on the latest films including King Kong which is produced by them and distributed in India.

So there goes..... Somehow at airports and in the plane I am never able to relax and read like some do effortlessly.

Next time will be better....
