The deserted Airport Road…

No I am not talking about the traffic… It’s still there… and even more, and growing… 😦 Even after the Airport has shifted from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) Airport to become the Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) at devanahalli…

Here am talking about the anxious eyes that used to jump over the Airport wall to take a glimpse of the planes on the runway… I have seen people getting up from their seats when the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus ran parallel to the Airport wall… Have seen people every morning on this small bridge that gave a clear view of the runway and planes… Seen people sitting on trees adjoining the Airport wall waiting for the planes to take off and land… Even after the authorities covered the entire tree-trunks with sharp wires to prevent people climbing up the trees, people still found ways to reach the top… It became a routine for me to watch people doing this… Everyday… As I traveled to office from Marathahalli, I wondered why people were so curious to see these planes??? What’s so interesting in them???
