Recently, I went to Ganagram airport, so I had a long time to wait for my friend. My friend, coming from the US, had to wait for a long time. Most of the people were coming to the airport to receive their children or parents from different countries or different states in India. I think at that time, I waited almost five hours in the international boarding area. After that, I enjoyed a lot with the kids while I was waiting there. Most of the people arrive one or two hours early because they don't know about the flight times. I had a great time with the kids, playing with the cartoons on their mobile phones. I realized that I missed my childhood days because back then, I didn't play on mobile; I played with my friends and enjoyed a lot with them. I used to play games on mobile too. I also installed PUBG and played with them for a few hours to pass the time. I felt very happy to wait there, although sometimes it was frustrating to wait for such a long time. At that moment, I realized you should arrive on time to pick them up. But I think it was a flight delay, so it was a great challenge for me.
