Can't Wait Anymore !

“Oh wait”,
“Hold on”,
“Please wait in the line”,
“Sorry for the delay”,
“Your call is very important to us, please wait"

Ever heard of these lines anywhere. These are everyday language, used for only one purpose “the wait”

Every other day or night, you either wait for someone or make others wait for you. It happens all the time, waiting for someone definitely irritates anyone, well it’s not much of a disturbance when you make others wait (few exceptions here n there) but ultimately, waiting is a damn boring thing to do, its kills a lot of things, like patience, sanity and mood, but time always survives the kill and in turn taunts at us by moving at a very slow pace. The slowest of sloths will appear to be fast during the period of wait.

There are various degrees and situations of the wait. I have tried to categorize it into 6 types. There may be more to add to the taxonomy but am sure these are major cases.

I’ve also given them a degree of wait on a score of 5. This tells you the level of wait, a human soul can bear on a regular basis.

Without further adieu,

Here are real life situations of 'the wait'

1. The call



You would have definitely been in this situation at least a dozen times or more in your life. You might have experienced in a job interview, hospitals, banks, or even in an airport, where a system is followed. Here there’s no simply waiting, You give your most attention to the person on the radio or intercom; spend a little to a lot of minutes focused with sharp hearing sense that could beat a dog at that point of time. You wait and wait with sweat and tears not to miss the call of your name, number or a flight. Then your adrenaline kicks in, like it’s the end of the world and you run for it. Most times, it’s very clumsy and you tend to irritate fellow waiters who didn't get the call.

The time of wait in this situation is undefined, since it depends on your luck and sometimes logic. Like in job interviews, suppose your name starts with A, then its damn sweet and short wait, but then... if its somewhere in V, W.. Then it’s going to be a long day..! Luck favors when your flight or train arrives on time, you get a free teller at the bank etc...!

It’s definitely worth waiting on this one.

Degree of wait: 3/5


2. The girl



This is a lifetime full of experience for boys and men, the wait for women to get ready and during shopping. Each and every man would have experienced this wait many times (unless, you were an orphan and gay at same time). This type of wait is the most boring and quite painful wait, a man could experience in his lifetime. It’s a wait that you can never avoid or get out. Women, they take forever to get ready to go out and then if its shopping, it’s a whole days work to get one apparel. They make you wait, ask for your comments now and then, but never agree to what you say, even when it’s complimentary. Then choose something, which another person likes and demands for it.

This wait situation is unavoidable and undeniably the torturous wait for a man. But men can survive this by doing a bit of bird watching or little bit of shopping for them.

No luck or logic can change this, you got to be there for the lady, if you want her to be with you. It sometimes helps, if you are a free will who donates credit cards and is unlimitedly rich.

Not really the worth the wait.

Degree of wait: 2.5/5.


3. The help

This situation is likely to be the most dangerous one. It’s basically the wait for an emergency help. When you have met with an accident, held at gun point during a theft, or if your house is on fire etc... All these situations are a matter of life and death and every second is precious. this wait is definitely nerve wrecking and occasionally there's a loss, but definitely no gain, cos you are already in buried in shit before this wait situation occurs.

This wait situation is definitely not a frequent one and the experiences are a lifetime story moment. It’s a very anxious and exciting wait you have before emergency arrives.

There’s no way that you can escape this wait.

Degree of wait: 5/5




4. The digital

Have you ever waited on the phone call trying to call a customer care help line? Then you know what am talking about. The most modern of waits are of the digital world and it’s quite similar to 'the call' situation. A lot of technology was developed in communication for making it faster, easier and to provide minimal wait, but still this wait time can lead to a lot of anger management therapy. Emails, sms, IM, chats... all these digital/online forms of communication are causes for the digital wait.

Of course, all Internet users have experienced this... especially in good old days of dial up connection. you wait for 8 minutes for a web page to open up then sending an email would take another 15 minutes but even in this modern era of super fast speeds, things could get little complicated.. for example: when you are in chat with someone, you ask a question and they take forever to reply or they type n type but never send the msg ( happens a lot and chat bar shows " x is typing" ) and later send something irrelevant to the conversation, it’s definitely a reason to get pissed off for the unnecessary wait. Same goes with emails, sms.

It’s not worth the wait, unless it’s urgent.

Degree of wait: 1/5


5. The leak

I am not quite sure how this wait situation affects women, but men surely know what am talking about. Have you ever wanted to go urgent to take a nature's call, leak or plain ol' piss, and had to wait in line since someone else was in the restroom before you. That wait is almost equal to water boarding... cos when the going gets tough, the tough has to get going... else there can be a lot of physical pain and public embarrassment.

Definitely a situation where waiting is bad.

Degree of wait: 4.5/5



6. The Love


The topic about waiting is never complete without the wait for love. Since ancient times till near future times, the wait for love has been in the hearts for ages. It has been described in every form of media possible and still to date haunts the minds of millions. This wait is deadly, you express your love for someone or propose for a marriage, and then the time they take to decide, even if it’s seconds, that wait would kill you. Worst, when they take a whole truckload of time. The wait for love situation would be experienced by everyone in need of love. It’s the only wait which can go for an eternal time, without having to know the consequence and the deadliest of all waits, even though it actually kills you in only a few cases.

Hey its love, how can I ever say it’s not worth it, it’s totally, completely and 100% worth the wait.

Degree of wait: 5/5




I am sure everyone would have experienced at least one or all of these excruciating times of wait in your life. There’s always some kinda wait for every one of us.

Remember that ‘Time’ isn't punctual every time and there's no gain without a little pain. So the wait is definitely worth, to know the consequence.

LIFE, It’s like a murder mystery, you need to wait till the end to know the killer else it becomes boring.

If you have any funny, crazy or awkward wait moments in your life, please feel free to express it in the comments section below.

For All the Confused Women Out There...!

Warning: The Following post is a ‘FUN’damental view about girls from a guy’s point of view. Some facts may or may not be wrong or offensive and it’s not intended to target any particular person or group.

I recently had conversations with many girls as usual, but interestingly, I found a knot in all these conversations, it was during the topic about the new Tamil movie Vinnai thandi varuvaaya. So before I go into the topic, let me give a brief summary about the movie’s plot. It’s a simple love story, guy meets girl, falls in love. Girl’s dad opposes, girl gives up then breaks up and marries someone else, and guy makes a movie about it. It’s purely about Love. A simple, pretty realistic thing in any normal person’s life.

So what’s the knot? Its Trisha’s character. She’s shown to be quite confused about the relationship; she’s not able to decide if the relationship is important or parents. In fact, she stops her wedding at last moment for her love, but then breaks up with him for a more simpler reason that ‘dad won’t accept’. She moves on with her life, getting married to a guy her parents chose for her... Indian style Arranged marriage.

All the girls I spoke (about 8 girls) about the movie, had this to say. They all had felt connection with Trisha’s character regarding the confusion with relationship. Yes. All of them are in a relationship but still confused if it’s the right decision. They all said the same; they saw themselves in Trisha’s position. Even though the situations differ, coz it was not dad’s opposition to their love for all of them. One or two might have that fear, but other’s had really cool situations. Still they had this confusion all the time. It was only about the relationship. Even though they love the guy, purely mutual and have a lot of feelings for each other and it was not some time pass relationship or a lustful one either.

So why is this confusion? I say it’s a normal behavior. It’s a general characteristic of the female species. According to Darwinian and dawkin’s theories of evolution, it is the key to the road of evolution otherwise called the ‘mate selection’. We, humans and animals are the same when it comes to mate selection. Animals mate only for reproduction. So they look only for the best mate for a better offspring, it is the female’s choice of mate selection; females own the right to decide whom she mates with in order to reproduce. Hence males have to woo the females in different ways to get the female’s attention and attraction. In fact, it’s of the one reason why all the male species have beautiful features than females, ex. Lion, peacock, etc… simply just to attract females.

Since females have the power to choose their mate, it is very essential to use it responsibly. Hence, they find the “Right one”. Same with humans too, but we expect more than just reproduction and sexual pleasure, we need emotional attachment and care for a long period of our life. Hence, female species in humans need to find the “right one” very carefully and so they become very picky or pick everyone.

When a girl likes a guy, then gets into relationship with him, and gets to know him better, she might have a second thought about him and the direction of relationship, if she doesn’t feel that he’s the right one, and then the confusion starts. If the girl has tendency to give up expectations and settle down with the available one, it ends well. Otherwise, the relationship ends and the girl eventually find another one or search for possibly the right one. A good illustration of this character in women is shown in the movie “500 days of summer”. (watch the movie, you’d definitely know what am talking here)

Ok… if women get to choose their mate. What about men? What can they do ? This is where it hurts the male ego. Males have a sense of dominance and a bigger ego that lives within. In Humans, Men knew about this evolutionary characteristic of female species at a very early stage, and then established a dominant society, where the women were degraded to a mere sex machine. In ancient Greek and Indian civilizations especially, women were not given the respect they deserve. Greeks treated women just as a source of reproduction only, so that they wouldn’t have a choice of finding their mate but rather submit to any male’s sexual favors. Indian society especially in certain caste and communities; women were treated even worse, like not being let out of the house kitchen, no education, being married to a man as a child and also burnt to death when dead husband is being cremated and a marriage system where men chose the women as a mate, an inverse effect. although there’s exceptions as seen in epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana, where the bride was allowed to choose the groom for her marriage, in form of a game or sport.

Not only in old times, still in India, many don’t get to make marriage choices for the most part. They settle down with the man their parents choose for them, and live a life, even though the guy may or may not be the right one. Of course, things are changing with the changing times, like in western countries, it is turning out to be a love marriage with parent’s acceptance these days, then also, and most of it is in cities.

So women out there… if you are confused about the relationship, it does not entirely mean that you are with the wrong person, You might be with the right guy, but yet to find that out in him but if you know, you are with the right one. No matter what may come, don’t lose him and Girls know how to get what they want.
