WAIT, will you???WAIT!!

Life is a long wait.

Think about it.

Your mother waited 9 long months to get you to this fancy chauvinistic world where you just waited a bit more.

You waited for the school bus, for the lunch break and for the school over bell. Damn that bell was always delayed, I am sure that was a conspiracy. At 11 you waited to be sweet 16 (ok what’s the deal about 16 anways?) and at 16 you waited to be 18. 18, the mother of all ages, when you get to have your very own car! But then at 18, you realized that you cant own the car you dreamt of so you got to wait a bit more!

Then you saw the oh so alluring whiskey bottle, the one that the shopkeeper said you got to be 21 to buy. So then you decided to wait again. For 21. In between you waited for your results. Waited, peed in your pants while doing it. Your heart beat would scale to 160/min and you almost had a fatal heart attack before it came out. But you survived cause you had to see the fateful hour when you have a F on your report card.

Oh well, at 21 you are graduated and all ready to face this world with a degree and then you wait for JOB. Ohhh and you wait for a job interview. (This is what I am doing RIGHT ABOUT NOW) So you wait for 5 hours, with a smile plastered on your face making it look like the most fun thing to do. Oh well, you have learnt how to fake it by now. So your are bored, hungry, tired and your left leg cant stop twitching cause you are nervous but you say ‘ hey, no problem, take your time!’ (I am never getting the job after this, am I? they are apparently going to read my blog) And after that, you wait for the results, doesn’t end does it?

At 25, you wait for your soulmate. And I am sure your soulmate who is as lazy as you are is waiting too. So basically, the more impatient of you is going to give up and marry the first indolent person he/she finds. And I am hoping, that by this time you ve gotten lucky and aren’t waiting for the first night of lust. If you are, wow you know all about waiting don’t you?

Between 30-45 you wait for some 100 different mundane things. If you are a housewife you are predominantly waiting for the 9 pm serial every night. And If you are working, you wait for the promotion or your boss to die. Whichever is sooner. You also wait for the prices to go down so that you can buy a new house, a new car, a new stove, a new dog, a new spouse maybe? You also got to get your kids married. So wait for your son to make this decision. And you son has this commitment phobia. So best of luck, you need it.

After 45, you wait for retirement. Those days when you can sit by beach and watch the sun go down and the stars come out. Basically the day when you can abuse the shit out of the guy who got the promotion which you deserved and walk off in all pride. Good fun I am sure.

And what after that? Your grandchildren’s marriage, I am sure. That’s what my granny is hoping for. Too much pressure!! And then eternal salvation? Or may be a new life where the wait continues?
Who knows?
Will wait and watch :)
