Waitin for Godot....wat da heck

The professor that used to teach us Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot in the final year of English Hons at DU was quite hot and for the major part of the lecture all we used to do was to write silly post its and circulate them or giggle...so never really paid much attention to the play except when i studied it for the exam....but even then not really delved into it but one thing that really attracted me to the play was the title and ofcourse later on the subject too....i think one of the greatest plays ever written....but right now i jus wana concentrate on the title...the title is a synonym for "modernism"....i think it clearly defines the core of modernist writings....all the lit lovers know what the title leads to and who Godot is....i often use this as my status message in which m supposed to write what m i doing at that particluar moment....and i guess 99% of the time in my life I Am waitin for Godot....i guess most of us are.....there is this endless longing to see him...ENDLESS ofcourse.....I woudnt wana kill the beautiful irony for those who have even a lil inclination to read the play or rather experience it....but i guess everyone should know about godot....its insanely universal.....
