Wait- worth or waste?

Wait- worth or waste?

The first thing that popped in my mind when I looked at what I clicked on my way back from my office at 6.06pm [i am very precise with the time of sunsets you see;)] Wait.. How long? How much wait is too much wait? Wait for whom? For him? or For it? Dissimilar, how the traffic light signals WAIT but the car said STOP! What the car must have thought before saying so? Was not the signal was misunderstood? Ain't we all misunderstand someone or get misunderstood around some point in our life. I were to envisage their conversation, it would go like-

Signal: Hey! Wait.

Car: I would just stop instead

Signal: But why?

Car: Cause I sped up, and I know I have been rushing all along the drive

Signal: Rushin' from? Why don't you just wait up here for 78 seconds until I go green and let you go?

Car: I am tired of waiting. You see, all the day I waited for the driver to come up to me to atleast park me in shade but he barbequed me at a temperature of 48 degrees celcius. Still, I waited.
There had been days when he did n ot care if I existed or no. I have so much to rant about why I just don't second the thought of waiting but we just have another 20 seconds to chat with you:)

Signal: I agree with your unlikeliness to wait. But have you noticed all your wait has been worth it! Have you realized, your driver has taken care of you all this while in order to maintain your charm? He genuinely cares for you. Believe me, he does. All I would want you to know you wait is worth and not a waste. I see a gazillion cars, bikes, trucks, ambulances, traverse by me. Some wait here with patience, some leave just like that as if I am transparent. Nevertheless, you have been waited here despite your aversion. I appreciate! You may go now.

And just like that, the signal turned green thereafter. It was an ephemeral event happened between the two. Been read with that little piece of dialogue, what you go with what the car said or what the saffron signal exclaimed. If you have waited for something or somebody, how passionate was it? If you would ever wait for someone how long it will be? Will you wait for your self-serving reasons or would you be altruistic? Has your held-up resulted in nothing but a waste? Would you still choose to wait with absolute stoicism? 

Howsoever, the takeaway (not of your burger/ pizza order) would be, are our wait(s), worth or waste?

Macroeconomic perspective of Finland's Economy.

Image
  ABOUT FINLAND The government does, however, exercise a monopoly or a major role in several sectors of Finland's economy, which is essentially based on private ownership and free entrepreneurship. Finland had not yet fully industrialized after World War II, and a sizable section of the population was still working in forestry, mining, and agriculture. Primary production gave way to industrial growth in the early postwar decades, which thereafter gave way to a service- and information-based economy. As the nation took advantage of its strong economic ties with both eastern and western Europe in the 1980s, the economy expanded quickly. However, Finland was in an economic slump at the start of the 1990s, which was caused by both the loss of its main trading partner with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and a wider European economic downturn. Midway through the 1990s, as Finland proceeded to retool its industries and reorient its trade predominantly toward western Europe, the econ...

Explore. Experience. Enhance.

The 3'E's' I follow which has helped me grow and get out of my bubble. There were times when I questioned myself before trying new things but then I had this answer in the interrogation format: "IF NOT NOW, WHEN?" Believe it or not, this really helped me pull through. Do you really want to be a 10 year older version of you or do you want to turn back to this version of you 10 years later and acknowledge for doing this? The choice to this and the answer to this is really subjective. In the light of following the 3Es, I practiced GRATITUDE too. You have to thank the person who makes you aware of a new thing or probably pushes you to try a new thing. Be grateful! On that note, I want to thank my Statistics Professor, Vineeth Sir for enlightening me with the idea of a blog website and to explore myself as a blogger. The page, the journey has just started. I wish to take it much forward.  This is merely an introduction to the page, I will post about relevant material r...

Introspection of the Consumer Behaviour for the last purchase.

Image
ANALYSING THE CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR FOR THE LAST PURCHASE My most recent purchase was a set of air pods from the Boult company. New Delhi-based Boult is a manufacturer of consumer electronics. Varun Gupta founded the business in 2017; as a result, we can conclude that it is a fast-growing Indian startup. One of the few Indian electrical brands with prices that have been compared to those of Chinese goods is this one. However, the brand has drawn so many customers to its boult items because of its excellent build quality and appealing appearance. In India, Boult is the brand that is expanding the fastest. Numerous audio goods from this company, including speakers, earbuds, and headphones, are selling like hotcakes.  Especially the boult air pods are high in demand amongst the youth population for its wide variety of designs, colour, durability and features. The price of boult products does not fall under cheap price range but still it enters the ‘affordable’ column. Ø   ABOU...
