The term Time-Pass is a casual, colloquial expression that refers to any activity done to simply pass the time, usually without much purpose, goal or seriousness behind it. It is what you do to keep yourself occupied or entertained with nothing better going on, filling a moment with something mildly enjoyable or distracting with those light, easy stuff that do not demand deep thought or commitment.
A tiny, crinkly paper cone of peanuts, usually with the shell still intact (boiled in salt water, roasted or just raw) is officially called Time-Pass in most parts of the country. It is about the slow, satisfying ritual of shelling and munching them, stretching those empty minutes, doing absolutely nothing, while, oddly, feeling mildly entertained and accomplished.
Each unshelled peanut in this book- Whose Father's What Goes?, offers when opened, everything that you need for that moment of Time-Pass - anecdotes, stories and more varying from global colleagues, cars and cabs, burglars, goof ups, budgets, animals, children and a host of other topics, each with their own unique and quirky tales.
