In India one finds a tense( the grammar tense present, past, future) that is so dominant that one tends to believe that if it really were true this country would be one of the most efficient places to work in.This I suppose is called present continuous tense.Because things just keep happening and happening.......
Ask me how?
Ask most of the Indians when will something happen and he say"bas, just 5 mins" or he would say "its happening",or 'it will be done"( how, where , when???).Now if you tend to rely on that 100% with no backup then chances are that you are going to get surprised( pleasantly at times) but shocked most of the times as this process just drags and drags.You ask the same person again as to why and how long it would take for his commitment to translate to reality and he would confidently state" anytime now, its just going to happen" and you again wait with expectations..................!!!
You get restless and are about to loose your cool when you receive his call or its his innocent looking face staring at you saying" look i told you it would happen" because it actually takes place ( as the way you wanted it or not is the next question" or phase 2!!).The respect for others time or the eagerness or anxiety to deliver on committed time is seldom found.
Once we learn to respect that we will definitely be a superior power to reckon with.
