Flights And Feelings

It’s 19th May, 2026, and I woke up with the feeling of slipping one year back in time. It was around 7 in the morning. I picked up my phone to check the time and, almost absent mindedly, glanced at the date beneath it. That was all it took. Suddenly, the memories came rushing back. For a moment, I was no longer in my room in Ahmedabad but somewhere inside Abu Dhabi airport a year earlier. I could remember exactly what I was doing at that very moment. I had just completed my US customs and was wandering through the airport during a layover, sitting in the waiting area, Facetiming family and a friend... I still remember the zebra-type black and white shirt that I saw... I think it was that only. Everything felt strangely fresh, almost untouched by time, as if it had happened yesterday. And I felt like going back in time and reliving those.
