I'm sure all of us have chances to wait for others at some point in our lives. I'm lucky enough to be doing that every work day when I wait for my office cab. I don't mind getting ready early and waiting by the road side 5 minutes ahead of time but that's where the trouble starts. Bangalore traffic seems to make sure my cab reaches consistently late and I end up waiting like a bride at the altar.

 

Those times I spend waiting lets me connect with nature...enjoy the climate before I step into the workplace. It also connects me with people in my neighbourhood - the romeo waiting to catch a glimpse of his juliet, the fitness freak who will not give up till the goal is reached, the elderly couple who bond over a leisurely evening stroll, the mobile wielders who have the device glued to one ear as they perambulate near their house or vehicle. Ok, I'm not really connecting to them but maybe just adding to the scenery they encounter daily :)

 

It seems it's not we who are waiting - the world's waiting for us to join in...to immerse ourselves in nature, in our neighbourhood, and be a part of this society. Care to join in?
