Wait....!!

I called up my brother last night to ask where he was, as he was late.. His cell was busy.. My call on waiting..

Tried again after 5 minutes... Again on waiting...!!

He called up after a while, "Could you not wait on the line? I was going to receive your call..!!"

Of course I had been waiting. Waiting for him to answer... And he asks me to wait more..!!!

WAIT.... one four letter word but definitely has wider presence..!!

We all wait for something or the other. Sometimes it is conscious waiting, sometimes we do not even realise we have been waiting..!! Right from the time we are born, yes even that minute is awaited by our parents, we keep on waiting and waiting and waiting......

For me, time does not seem to pass while waiting... I always end up looking at my watch just to find the hands moving at a snail like speed..!!!

Just a small....wait...not small...just a list of situations where I wait-

In the morning, wait for my eyes to open.....

I get ready and wait for the lift...

Wait for the bus, train..

Wait for the lectures to start and then wait for attendance and then wait for the lecture to end...!!

Wait to bunk...

Wait to talk to my friends about what I did yesterday...

Wait at the canteen to place my order..

Wait to get it...

Wait to get the book issued in library..

Wait to be back home...

Wait to have lunch made by mom.....

Wait to rest and catch up a book to read...!!

Wait for SMS'es to beep my cell up..!!

Wait to chat...

Wait to check my mails...(In short I have to wait for using my PC.... I wait because once I use it, I need it for a long time... so I wait to complete all other things before I switch it on..!! )

Wait to update my blog (I had been waiting for this time since a week..!!)

Wait to get the responses..

Wait for my exams to get over..

Wait for the results.....

Wait to hang out with friends...

Wait for vacations..

Wait for classes to begin again when the vacations are too long.....

Wait for wishing birthdays at the strike of midnight...

I guess you are waiting for this list to get over... ;)

Yeah..I am done with it 4 today...!!

P.S.: I actually wrote this while waiting for someone..!!! Did not know waiting could result in something so long till I started writing..!!!

there is one more thing that gets on my nerves: waiting for the site to open while working on a computer with low bandwidth. :P
Can wait for someone at a bus stop for 30 mins, but can't wait sitting in front of computer for 30 secs. :P
Very well written. Was a fun read. :-)

Waiting is not something to feel bad about. I believe waiting gives you some precious moments to think, introspect and realise.
:) have fun

3 Idiots, Damini's Take (Part - 2)

Part - 1 Our school practised the policy of "Divide and Rule" ... Yes, they shuffled our divisions for our secondary classes but we were of course the students of the same school and we followed our own policy of "United we stand "... This in turn , led to "Divide and Unite..." Sounds strange naaa ?? but that is what happened with me. I became Binal's friend. Though I knew her and Urvashi earlier, we did not speak much. Now, as things turned out to be, I also became their friend and we met everyday during our breaks discussing tales of both the class rooms. Everyone had new friends and their old set of friends too.. So, in a sense, our groups started growing with us..... Then we all joined up the same classes for our SSC and that was one of the best times of my life, spent with my friends. Ours became a group of 5 eventually who always sat together, studied together and partied together... Yes those were the initial years when we started to celeb...

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 16 ; the sixteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . "Yeah pink colour suits you. Buy that saree..." Mom finalised for me. "I had liked that one only from the beginning. ?I'll buy that one only..." & I turned to the shopkeeper. "Bhaiya yeh pack kar dena...." "Haan madam, this colour is perfect for you. Diwali ke din aap khub chamkengi..!!" "Arey, it's not for Diwali.. It is for my reception after Diwali..." "Ohhh... Shopping for marriage.... So Madam, buy more... This would be your last Diwali at home..??!!!" the shopkeeper questioned. I nodded but the enthusiasm of shopping vanished. Every time I try to come out of that mood , something or other pops up to remind me of my last days...... I begin to feel low on hearing the word "Last...

For the first time...

That night, she was very very tired but when she lied down on bed, she just could not sleep.. All the scenes from the day flashed by her eyes... One day.. And so many things in her life had changed... She recollected a dialogue fro ma movie "Life mein bahut saari cheezein pehli baar hoti hai..." For the first time... She had lied at home while going out... For the first time... She got the biggest surprise when she knew that he had got a new bike... For the first time... She sat on the bike with fear but was confident that he would take care of her.. For the first time... She roamed around places, where though she had been earlier, seemed entirely different and new that day... For the first time... She felt like talking and talking as someone was listening to her with a smile.. For the first time... She walked barefoot on the rocks as the water kissed her feet... For the first time... When she was about to lose her balance, someone was there to hold her hand... For the first ...
