Every person in his/her daily routine life has used this line many a times though they don't actually mean it exactly. So what does it mean actually?
"Just 2 minutes!"
A girl being called by her parents for party and she says: "Just 2 minutes, Mom!"
She's not getting satisfied with her make-up & needs 10-15 minutes more time to give a final touch to her mascara foundation and get the perfection which according to them, they have never been able to achieve yet whenever they sit in front of the mirror!
A bachelor knocking outside the toilet door for his roommate, indicating him to come out soon when he hears the sound from inside: "Just 2 minutes, dude!"
He's struggling inside to finish his utmost important task at that time, which others find it pathetic, but the one who does, takes it as the most relaxing job in the world.
A Girl calling to her boyfriend, waiting at the coffee shop and expecting him to come soon, when he replies on the phone: "Just 2 minutes, sweetheart!"
He's struck in the traffic jam and has decided to take his bike to 80 kmph speed to reach his destination as soon as the signal goes green.
A student being asked to give back the answer sheet in the exam by his invigilator, when he speaks in a hasty tone: "Just 2 minutes, Sir!"
He doesn't want to leave a single answer in the paper which he knows well and so as to make himself assured after the exam that he hasn't left anything which he had been studying since past one month.
On being asked for the breakfast, a mother responds to her child: "Just 2 minutes, son!"
She's already busy doing other household works and while preparing the breakfast simultaneously tries to make it as soon as possible so as to take her child to the bus stop for school.
A salesman saying to one of their customers at their home carrying some product to sell when they tries to ignore them: "Just 2 minutes, please ma'am!"
He has got the target for the day & tries to convince the customer by showing his marketing skills to them with an expectation to sell the last product & getting some percentage of commission on the completion of his target.
A man and his wife carrying his only son to a government hospital who has been met with a serious accident, with an expectation that soon their son will get admitted there and survive from the danger. But unfortunately, the doctor says: "Just 2 minutes, please!"
The doctor doesn't know how much the life of that boy values to his parents being the only child since for him it's one of his patients. He doesn't care about that boy's life but only he cares is the way by which he can fill his pockets by making them to fill the admission form.
A soldier, standing in his home's door and saying goodbye to his family, before leaving for a war for his country, when suddenly his phone rings and on the other side his senior officer asks him to leave soon and the soldier replies in a requesting tone: "Just 2 minutes, officer!"
He doesn't know whether he'll return or not. He doesn't know he'll see his family again or not. He doesn't know whether he'll be able to see his child growing older. He doesn't know whether he'll gift his wife a necklace on their wedding anniversary. Only he knows is, he has got this chance, may be last, to show all his love to his family members and see them off, which may not possible in this 2 minutes. He hugs them and a drop of tear rolls out from his eyes.
Next time whenever you use this line, just think what it actually means...
And ponder for... 2 minutes...
