A Joy Walk!

Nice breeze...beautiful panoramic view...fast cars, really fast...roaring sound! Yes, we are near. Just some distance away. We are going to see aeroplanes take off...fly! Yes!

"Where are you heading?" Silence. It's a police constable. A little glance towards the companion...all 8 or 10 year old...as old as I.
"Kuthe challat?"
"...Airport!!!"

His turn to get stunned! This is in the middle of eastern highway. We two buddies, all of 8 or 10 year old, are walking on the highway devider towards Santacruz Airport (yet to become domestic).

He makes us turn around!
A dream crushed...what's the problem with the guy?
Where's home, by the way? How do you head back?...don't panick...keep walking back!
Suddenly some commotion by the road side! Some familiar faces.
Oh, these guys are from our housing society!
Big relief.
We are carried home.

Did I get a beating of my life? Was there a big drama at home?
I don't remeber and since I don't remember it must be neither. Just a little spanking and a sight of worried faces probably.

I did attempt this stunt once again, but it did not have the charm of original. Even the people took it lightly.

PS

I confirmed with Aai. Apparantly I was 4-5 years old. And, she did not beat me.
