The Endless Wait

‘Antaheen’, that’s the Bengali word meaning to say ‘the endless wait’. A film goes by that name, released in 2009, and got many prestigious awards.

There are people who remain bachelors or spinsters all their life. Is it that they have not been attracted to someone or that no one has been attracted to them? Some times the answer is different and sometimes there is no answer. Sometimes people want a perfect person with an ideal relationship. Now there is only one Kiran Rao for Aamir Khan, the perfectionist. Sometimes they find that perfect person for them, but soon lose them in mishaps. Sometimes the situations force them to stop finding that someone and be happy with what they have got, even though they have nothing which can compensate the loneliness of not having a partner.

People need a job to do survive in this hectic city. When you start staying in this city, you have to get yourself adjusted and suited to the surroundings first, if you are successful you will continue to search for and wait (sometimes endlessly) for that someone, and if you are lucky enough, you may find that someone who was also lucky enough and was searching for you and found you. That’s life for most people who think they think a lot and understand a lot, understand true love and only want to spend their lives with that true lover.

And those who think they understand love even more than that, they have another feature common to most men. Their number of ex-girl friends is more than the number of 1000 rupees notes they earn a month or sometimes not earn anything a month. And yes the number of condoms they have brought is real life is way more than the number of books they ever purchased.

Most of my friends, who are single, think that waiting endlessly will help them finding true love. Their mind says, “Don’t take a decision in the hurry, your dream man or woman will surely come to you (tonight only in your lovely dream).” And there is another category of men who dream a lot during the day and lives their dream also during the day but not the real world. They have the virtual world of the internet. There they go on drinking around (again virtually) with a host of girls. Actually the looks of the actor who is in your profile picture matters more than your own looks.

Who says that today’s generation is impatient? You have so many people searching endlessly for the match maker.

Now if you are one of these super patient people, then I have one little advice for you. Since you have read till here with your amazing patience, which now I admire a lot, please read the other posts in this blog (notes in case you are reading in Facebook) and yeah, also write a short comment in the comments section. Aaaahhh again thinking of going to some other page!! Aren’t you that patient person to wait endlessly? Now agree to it that you are eagerly waiting for your true love to come your way.
