The night wasn’t getting any younger, and neither were we. It was high time for us to assess our stand on what had come to be known as relationships. The word excitement summarizes our thoughts on the then newly evolved notion. Everyone, including us, was buzzed with the idea. With most of my friends way ahead in the race, my group didn’t want to fall back either.
So, discussing on the topic, and two of the four of us(including me) already committed, frustration was pouring out from the other two. We were discussing how a third one of us was hitting on an already committed girl. The fourth however, wasn’t on any girl’s list. He had a whole list of his own crushes though.
Right then the fourth, frustrated and desperate, with reference to the Indian Railway Reservation System, commented "Ok guys, this is the scenario, you two (pointing to the already involved ones) have a confirmed seat, this guy (pointing to the third) has a RAC and I, well, I am in Waiting”. We all had a good laugh for the next couple of days on that statement. It was, spot on!

P.S. This is if you didn’t get the joke. Upon reserving a ticket for the train, you get one of the following three statuses.
ReplyDeleteConfirmed: which mean you have reserved a placed successfully.
RAC: Reservation against Cancellation that is if a confirmed member cancels his ticket, you will get his berth. A berth is not promised however a seat is.
Waiting: While on waiting list it means that you have to first move to RAC and then to Confirmed status. You don't even get a seat, your request for a reservation is just considered.
My gawd... What a statement!
