First things first. I have never been a very impatient person as such. At times, I do get hyper, if I feel I am not going to meet the deadline. But that is that. Otherwise, I am pretty chilled out.
But yes, last two years of my life have indeed added on to my patience levels. The initial stint at a radio channel and the ongoing work made me realise that as a journalist you have to be patient. You CANNOT afford to let off the handle easily. I am doing features, so for me the wait for quotes at times, becomes endless. In fact, there have been times where I have wondered will this story ever work out? Will the person ever speak to me? And the person has. But the condition is you have to be at it. Well, if you look at it, this is perhaps the case with life too. The moment you let the reins loose, even God loses track of what you wanted in life. So, the trick is be at it.
