September 29: The Waiting Lounge has been written by Chet Kamal Parkash, an alumnus of Padmashree Dr. D.Y. Patil College, Pimpri Campus, one of the most esteemed colleges of Pune. He has setup his work in the Contemporary Fiction genre that keeps you engaged not just with the story but the way it is narrated.
The story of ‘The Waiting Lounge’ unfolds with a young boy, Akash, who is visionary about his life at an early age. He passes his matriculation and moves to different landscapes, doing well in his life. The story paces with Akash entering into the college of his dreams, staying away from his parents into a new city. He mentions about his experiences living with roommates, fun, pranks, late night parties, Sunday-laziness, delayed assignments, college library moments, and most importantly about choosing the right when self-realization hits upon. He narrates well about discotheque moments; the student can’t live without after entering into college life until they experience it. He has summed up the moments and incidents of college life that depicts how life is different at different times.
The story also highlights the emotions of father-son, mother-son, brother-sister, responsibilities, and expectations of people and the world, the society issues, the real struggles one may face during the course of life. The journey of Akash takes you to the different stages of life and its priorities with the times. The next milestone you reach is of his life’s journey into the corporate world.
