Over the years, I have quite happily mastered to a great extent, the art of waiting... for long! Knowing that a task is delayed is one thing. Not knowing when at all it will ever be completed is another!
And what better place to practice waiting than at an Indian government office! Of course, hospitals also offer a good practice ground, but nothing beats a government office and officials.
From another perspective, I think deadlines - or rather an obsession with deadlines - do play a big role in the process of mastering the art of waiting. Once you take out the deadline issue out of the equation, then it is another ball game altogether.
Like Buddha taking out 'desire' from the world to end all sorrow and suffering!
