So here\u2019s the 360 Degree on it, motivated, well, by\u00a0<em>bags of time<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>The absolute nonchalance with each and every piece of baggage gets treated once it finds place on the carousel has convinced me that the carousel is the only place in the world that is completely agnostic to brands and their status in the pecking order. All of them are treated like true &#8216;\u00a0<em>pile ons<\/em>\u00a0&#8216;.\u00a0<strong>Tumi, Louis Vitton, Delsey, Samsonite, American Tourister, VIP, BOSS, Echolac, China Mall<\/strong>\u2026all came (and went) alike. The message going was loud and clear.\u00a0<em>Rest in Piece<\/em>\u2026till such time your owner gets a handle on you!<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere will you see a better study in contrast. The bags taking its own sweet time to get to where it ought to, unabashedly relaxed, clinically unrepentant, approaching arrogance ( I am the\u00a0<strong>BOSS<\/strong>\u00a0here, you better give me the\u00a0<strong>VIP<\/strong>\u00a0treatment), do not intrude on my hammock style existence\u2026..On the other side, the owners: anxious, impatient, irritated, hopeful, worried, chaos personified.<\/p>\n<p>The bags I tell you love drama (and some gymnastics as well). Every now and then they bring you to the edge as they salsa, spin and swirl but manage to stay on top of the carousel. That in the process they knock off a few socks from ankles and uncles is a different story. Really edge of the feat stuff!<\/p>\n<p>As you take your monster off the carousel(with a little help from 8 people close to you , 4 of whom were standing on your toes unrepentantly), you just want the trolley to glide through the sea of humanity only to realize that this piece of convenience(supposedly) is a bit like me-\u00a0<u>it has no sense of direction<\/u>. As you push North, it heads East. So much for\u00a0<em>where there\u2019s a wheel, there\u2019s a way!\u00a0<\/em>No way<em>.\u00a0<\/em>And in any case,\u00a0<strong>SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle)<\/strong>\u00a0are meant to function only in Governments!<\/p>\n<p>The area surrounding the carousel is actually a medical practitioner\u2019s delight. The ideal place to easily diagnose the following including but not restricted to:\u00a0<strong>Colour blindness, Slip disc, Parkinsons, Blood Pressure, Extreme Body Odour<\/strong>\u2026is it blue or green? And the real owner sees red in the bargain. If you don\u2019t mind, could you please help me offload my bag?(I travelled light this time)-it\u2019s just 87 kgs( any more and she would have had to hire a cargo plane).<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the carousel is an ideal candidate for acute nausea? Imagine going around in circles, hour after hour, day after day- 360 Degrees and the emergence of the\u00a0<strong>Circular Economy\u00a0<\/strong>is all very fine but doing it 365 days a year?? Where does it begin? And where does it end? Methinks it\u2019s happy to be a\u00a0<em>spin doctor<\/em>! Or should we call it an innocent victim of\u00a0<em>circum stance<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>So the next time you travel, carry\u00a0<em>XS baggage<\/em>(Armani, A R Mani, Mr Moneybags etc pl note).\u00a0<em>Xtra Small<\/em>. Don\u2019t break the carousel.Give the carousel a break\u2026unless of course you want to see some\u00a0<em>Delsey<\/em>, all at sea!\u00a0<em>Boss<\/em>, it makes no sense\u00a0<em>Tumi<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:www.groupisd.com\/story<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.brandknewmag.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Heavy Weight Brands Are Made to Do A Heavy Wait!
