|
In the hospital waiting room, I join the relatives of
patients scheduled to undergo surgery. Many
have grave looks and tired eyes with worries and
concerns written all over them. Some fill the time
reading newspapers and magazines and a few try to
solve old cross-word puzzles. Families huddle together in
hushed whispers while some with no companions stare
blankly ahead. Suddenly, from the corner a heavy-set
middle-aged woman starts to snore which grows louder
and longer filling the erstwhile silent room.
