Soumini was waiting in the lounge at Melbourne Airport. The flight was an hour away. The check-in desk had not yet been called. Many passengers were sitting on the chairs that had been placed there. Everyone was busy with their own work. If we were to count Indian faces, she and a northern family were the only ones left. The northern woman was fidgeting with her crying baby. Soumini wondered if it was crying for milk or something. She wondered if the mother was breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. The woman's husband was carrying the baby on his shoulder and walking here and there.
