Observation won...


                                                       Here is a fascinated observation that I didn’t miss the previous day in an art café.

Two guys maybe in their late 20’s or beginning 30’s came over to the café, got seated and right away ordered something. Though I was in the midway through an interesting conversation here with my fellow beings; my eyes caught inescapable glimpses of the mannerisms and behavior of those guys.

In the first instance: 5 minutes elapsed after ordering sometthing. God knows what those men ordered.
10 minutes flew by and there started restlessness. The guy who sat facing me, started turning back as many as 12-15 times.

On the approximate 13-14th minute, the waiter came with a tray.
As simple as that; two cups of lemon tea and some marshmellows. There they were feeling contented as to the order arrived at least then.
There comes the twist then. The guy facing me took a sip and kept the cup down. His companion didn’t show any signs of disapproval. But the “Theory of Influence” was applied by the other guy that made his companion imitate the action of the first. A sense of irritated discontentment.  The guy facing me turned back and waived a hand at the waiter.

The next thing which I saw was that the waiter taking those cups back into the kitchen. Simple observation – The lemon tea didn’t appeal to their senses it seems and went another order behind it.

The same looks of discontentment and irritation for lagging the time for the order to arrive but doubled with disgrace and anger.

The guy facing me starts looking at his watch intermittently, looks back whether the waiter is coming and then says something to his friend. Repeated goes this process until the waiter comes with another tray of two transparent glasses with lime juice.

Blimey! Have these guys craved to drink this, waiting for nearly 40-45 minutes. Seeing the waiter coming, words of dire emotion mixed with stirred facial expressions spitted forth from the guy facing me, but in silence; to which it was audible to his companion only.

No sooner the glasses arrived, than they gulped it as if they had some tablets up their throat and left the area in split seconds!
That was quick but ridiculous but at last Observation won!
