S Scientists - Chapter 7

Take off for Delhi! - Chapter 7


The S Team reached the airport by quarter past four and waited for a long time. It was 5 o' clock. Saketh spotted an old man with broad glasses with a mic next to him. He was sitting on a chair.


Saketh cleared his voice and started to talk, "Um, excuse me sir, are you the announcer?" "No, I'm the pilot. I knew you'd think I'm the announcer as I'm sitting on his place, but actually I'm not. I just came here to know the timings of my flight," The old pilot said.


 "Oh, okay. I didn't realize that. By the way, what is your flight timing?" Asked Saketh. "6 o' clock. mine's the Delhi flight," He replied. Saketh then asked, "Flight number 6, is it? I'm Saketh Balaji. Can you spot my name over there in the computer? And also, the web page had told me that the flight's by 4:30 am, may I know why?"


"It is flight number 6. Hmm, let me see if I could find your name, aha! Saketh Bala, is it? Yes, you are there. Wait, are you Saketh Bala or Balaji?" He asked. Saketh replied, "Saketh Balaji," "Saketh Balaji, yes. I found it! And why the web page told that your flight is by 4:30 is because we check if all the people are present by that time," The pilot replied. 


Saketh then nodded his head.


The S Team got bored of waiting. Finally, the people of Flight 6 were sent to the flight, and into their respective rooms.


The flight took off for Delhi. Saketh and his Team were relieved.


The following days were spent in the flight.

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
