This document provides a comparison of the theme of "waiting" in the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the novel Madhav Kyay Nathi by Harindra Dave. Both works revolve around characters who are waiting for something or someone - in Godot, Vladimir and Estragon wait endlessly for the arrival of the mysterious Godot, while in Madhav Kyay Nathi, Naradmuni waits eagerly to meet Krishna but he keeps eluding him. The document outlines similarities between the works in terms of the repetitive nature of the characters' waiting, their ongoing hope that what they wait for will come to pass, and the unanswered questions this leaves.
