WAIT!! he's late..

Today, probably for the first time ever, I went for a meeting 20 minutes late and found – to my sheer delight- the others waiting for me, waiting so that I might arrive and the meeting may begin, wasting away their time having nothing to do but wait…and wait…. I had imagined this situation over and over again in my dreams on numerous occasions..each time building upon the pleasure I felt in that moment….However, now that I am finally here, I somehow don’t feel happy, I feel guilty, guilty of doing something totally out of character, guilty of doing something that’s so not ME…sorry guys, I shall never be late again ..

I have been like this since childhood you know,never being late, always being ten minutes before time than being 1 minute late…but never in all these years have I found sum1 who concords with my point of view regarding punctuality…..yes the school princie did talk about not being late blah blah blah but he was late for the only appointment that I ever had with him..

Now heres to all my friends ..i have waited for you always…I have waited for you at the bus stop, I have waited for you in the library, outside your home to pick you up, in my home waiting for you to pick me up ,in the middle of the busiest crossing in Calcutta during the peak of summer ,when you were an hour late, I have waited for you alone at the resto when everyone was staring at me, when I was the odd one out at a place where everyone else had company, I have waited for you outside offices when you were late for the appo ….cumon guys, its high time you learnt to be on time,atleast for me, how long do you expect me to wait?? You don’t know how it feels to wait..its too damn boring man!!Remember those long , unending hours you have waited at the bank, or in your mess, or on the doctor’s appointment; remember the utter disgust, the frustration, the anger you may have felt when those people kept you waiting and waiting……don’t do this to me….no matter how much I try , I can never be late – believe me , I have tried—so the only feasible solution is for you-my dear friends-to be on time.. ALWAYS

As George Bernard Shaw said “Better never than late “—well, u better follow it—for if you don’t , trust me “ MUJHSE BURA KOI NAHI HOGA “ :P :P
