From Detesting The Cycle Of Waiting To Relishing It

Waiting is disheartening, lengthy, burdensome and ample of anguish:

When you are heart-broken and expecting to be comforted by someone.

By lonely and aged parents who stay far, to get a glimpse of one's offspring. 

When the date of verdict gets delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. 

Listening to the voice of a soldier, posted at the frontier of our country.

Eyes glued to the ground, contemplating the outcome of an ongoing surgery,

The family of the patient loitering outside the operation theatre.

In the expectation of an interview call for unemployed youth who waits for it 

day and night.

Ask the students and their parents how they were waiting anxiously for their 

examination results to be declared?

Ask the kins of a victim waiting in anticipation for a fair judgment. 

When one is stranded in an island, trapped in a building or mine and waiting

for the rescue team to reach the affected region.

Ask a distraught and traumatised patient who is on her path to recovery.

For a beggar or homeless to satiate his hunger throughout the day.

I am in desperation to get back to my regular life, i.e. to pre-pandemic era.

It is worth to have the willingness to wait, and elation floats on air:

For an exhausted yet exhilarated new mom to hold her baby for the first time.

When you are idling to share the thrilling news with your closed buddy.

To discover the light at the end of the tunnel by a confined and fatigued body.

Watching raindrops fall, making a pitter-patter note after a muggy and parched day.

To procure a ticket to watch the first day and first show movie at one's favourite theatre.

While watching the glow of an exhilarated bride, ready to get wedded.

When listening to the sigh of relief for a coma patient's family after long hours of waiting.

To receive the first salary at the end of the month by the company's new recruit. 

Bagging the project after completing one's task in the nail-biting period.

Jumping high after viewing the flowers blossom in the garden after a prolonged period.

Capturing the moment of utter happiness, on the faces of ladies keeping Karva Chauth

fast when the moon emerges.

Have you ever felt the thrill after an adrenaline-pumping cricket tournament or a soccer match?

"From the Vampire of waiting to suck your blood

cum energy and leaving you listless-

Staying away is the smartest idea in one's life."
