“What can happen in two minutes?” huffed my
colleague when i asked him to be patient so that i could prepare the report. We
were on it the whole day and may be his remark was honest! But new train of
thoughts began to honk inside my tiny li'l head and i began to wonder..
TWO MINUTES!
Its those precious 120 seconds we can sleep before
our alarm can buzz off again! (Ahh.. the bliss!)..
You can run away from an uncomfortable situation..
and hide in a place no one can ever pull you out from (the restroom) in those 2
minutes!
"Mom! I’ll be back home in 2 minutes!" i
used to scream at my cell phone held in one hand while the other was supporting
the start button of my bike!
"Two minutes! I’ll be there" is a popular
cliché for girls getting ready (Wink Wink)
"Just two more minutes" is what my
husband asks for when he's held up between watching a cricket match and
attending a function!
Two minute Maggie was a life saviour to heal my
habits of getting unusually hungry at 2 in the night
A two minute song that can change our mood
altogether
The two minute charging that we crave for before
our mobile gives up on its life
Under two minutes you can change your relationship
status from "single" to "in a relationship" to "it’s
complicated" and finally back to "single" again! (Try it
sometime!) And for amateur writers like me.. those two minutes are more than
sufficient to draft a write up and finally laugh at ourselves after reading it
for the twelfth time!
The list runs to unvaried lengths. But while you do
all this.. you still cannot make an inch of move in this Bangalore traffic!
uff!!
Anyways.. i can still hear the footsteps of my
nervous colleague pacing towards me and i can see that there is still loads to
do before we can submit the report.
He stands beside me eyeing suspiciously at the
document open.. and realizes that I’ve not made a single change since TWO
MINUTES!
There is a new mail desktop notification from our
manager and he says something about an emergency and he would leave expecting
us to submit the report the following day.
We glance at each other and i wink.. "See..
What did i tell you about the two minutes!" and he has nothing else to say
except to read this article and smirk!
