Patience

what is the meaning of patience?

is it waiting for the doctor at his clinic till he calls you?
is it sitting with your child who cries for candy, which is forbidden?
is it waiting for a guest who is very late to arrive?
is it listening to a long  lecture of a speaker, who holds on to the microphone never to leave it?
is it taking care of the mother who is bedridden?

the one who overcomes all this is not a man but God!

unforgettable incident - waiting for auto!

It was in 2000 june. We were going to Delhi to attend a wedding. Our train time was morning 6 o'clock. We were to leave the house at 5o'clock and had told two auto rickshaws to pick us as we were 7 members.

The rain started the previous night and continued the next day too. All 7 of us got up early morning and were ready by 4.45 am waiting for the auto. The autos did  not turn up. The drivers coolly forgot!! My husband and son went out in the pouring rain to find another auto, but they could not get one, They had  to walk quite a distance and then they suceeded to get one who was returning from station leaving folks who were to travel in the same train as us!!

All of us squashed ourselves into  the auto with our luggage and reached the station in spite of the heavy downpour. We did reach late, but the train was late too!! And so we could proceed!
