Transit


 In transit word mostly used in the logistic operations but here I am going to use it to explain one of the real life incident. This word explains that the sender has send the thing but receiver has not yet received as it is in the middle of the way. So in this case the thing is neither with the sender nor with the receiver. In a way there is no one's ownership on things or rather I would say that the things have not left the sender's side or not accepted the new receiver. I came across such situation recently. 




I and my husband were going on vacation recently along with some close friends. It was most awaited vacation and we all were excited. So our trip begins from my place, we all decided to meet up at our place as it is near to the airport. We had chosen half way through flight and then road trip to our destination. As all of you are aware we get lots of instruction from parents when you go on some random trips where you already know that mobile network, internet access will be almost none. Those instruction contents call us by end of the day everyday, call us when you reach, update us about your plans etc. 


With all the excitement and instructions keeping in mind we started our journey. After few hours of journey we landed to the destination from where we had to start road-trip. As next step we all gathered near the luggage belt waiting for our luggage. While standing there I started observing people and without no time I found my all friends are on calls including my husband. So I gave some more attention to find out this common behavior, Surprisingly that common behavior has common thing as they all were on call with their parents to inform that we have reached to first place of our journey. I felt very awkward in this situation as It's not like that I had nobody to call like this but it was extremely painful situation to understand dilemma going on in my mind between calling to my parents or my in-laws. I decided to explain this dilemma to my husband and fortunately when I started this talk he quickly understood it and he explained that he already noticed the same on airport but due to lack of time he couldn't took the action on it. I feel so lucky to have him in my life who can understand this small-small things by just looking at my face. 


In above case to standing on airport and have dilemma on whom to call is perfect as transit where you can't decide on anything. I got recently married to Ruchit 5 months back. At the airport I did not understand whom to call whether to my parents or my in-laws as I find myself in transit where neither I could call my in-laws first as they are new for me nor to my parents otherwise the people will think that I still give first priority to my parents. I felt like every girl must have been through such kind of dilemma where they can't decide the priority of the parents. It is very sad that because of social pressure we had to sometime choose the thing which we never meant to choose.  


Oh yes, I have a choice!!
