Once Again at the Airport
I opened Rishikesh’s book with a bit of doubt in my mind. The title suggested that the book was about airports. Airports are nice, cool, comfortable and mostly busy. However, that couldn't be the subject of a book!
But, my curiosity forced me to read on and I must confess I could not put it down. Rishikesh has narrated his experiences at various airports in an extremely humorous manner. His style is simple and touches the heart. His keen observations about airports, airplanes, shops, departure gates and most importantly the behaviour of people around make the book a delightful read that is enjoyable and educative at the same time.
It is a fun read indeed! So don’t wait. Take off and enjoy!!!

ONCE AGAIN AT THE AIRPORT - RISHIKESH JOSHI
It so Happened....was just going on a walk in the Library... A weird way... took this book up... was small... started Reading with a few pages and got so engaged with it ...
The stories of the Author's experience at the Airport's... didn't want to keep down so easily...
Initially, I was like damn
This man has got the
Privilege to travel so much in the Air that he's penned a whole damn book about it.
Rishikesh has Narrated his experiences at various airports, airplanes, shops, gates, terminals, seatings in the plane, behaviour of people in an extremely simple and Humourous manner... It definitely touches the heart.
Some interesting Titles given in the Book, which I loved...
1) There are ( So many?) exit doors.
2) Missed approach
3) Old habits
4) 0.2 % Talkative people
5) Climax scene
6) New and Old
7 ) Ctrl-Alt-Del, here as well.
8) "Strange is the way the human mind works, it enjoys the misery of others"
9) Not a great way to start, Nevertheless.
10) Take your time.
It's a Delightful book to read.
It is fun and also educative at the same time.
So go for it grab one and don't wait.
fasten your seat belts, read for Take off and enjoy.
There's nothing like an Airport for bringing you down to earth.

As I skimmed through the initial pages of Rishikesh Joshi’s Once Again at the Airport the first emotion that surged through me was of envy. I was jealous. This man got to travel so much in the air that he penned a whole book about it.
Once Again at the Airport is a breezy short read. It is full of anecdotes and true experiences that the author literally had in the air. Rishikesh’s witty observations will leave you in splits. He has a way to discern the light veined humour buried under the din of our mundane lives. So he shows us the potholes in the air.
The book contains nuggets of information for the lesser mortals who don’t get to travel by air as often as that of the author. So we come to know about how flight times have increased in the new millennium instead of getting reduced. We get to know the difference between an itinerary and a ticket. The book offers some practical tips to secure a seat next to the air hostess.
My current mood is to read humour, particular those written by Indian authors. Once Again at the Airport definitely managed to tickle my funny-bone.
