Bollywood Romance

As I was waiting to go through security at the airport in Bangalore tonight I sent Sandie a SMS message to tell her that I loved her. It had been a while since I’d done so I thought it a good idea (you can see that I’m good at spontaneity). When I spoke to her later on the phone she confirmed that the text had been gratefully received. She was somewhat dismayed however when I explained to her that what had prompted the text was that a young couple had appeared before me in the security queue highly flustered and claiming that their flight was boarding. They then discovered that they hadn’t printed off their boarding passes properly so off they ran back to the check in desk…….leaving their luggage poised on the security machine just in front of me. In one of my more balanced and sensible moments, I naturally fretted that this was some sort of terrorist plot, so decided to send a text just in case. Personally I thought that was a lovely reaction. Sandie didn’t quite see it that way however. I should have kept my mouth shut – men Venus women Mars anyone?
