Ok now i got how to use WaitUntilPasses this method I was trying below small script. 

app = pywinauto.Application() 
app.start('Notepad') 
Win = "Untitled1.txt" + "-" + "Notepad" 
window = pywinauto.timings.WaitUntilPasses(20, 0.5, lambda: app.window_(title=Win))
app.Untitled1.MenuSelect('Help -> About Notepad')

Here after opening the notepad within 20sec i saved the notepad with Untitled1.txt and after saving the notpad title of the notepad shown like "Untitled1.txt - Notepad" So in the above script am waiting for the same title and once i got the same title trying to select the menu option in that notepad but after 20sec am getting here am getting timeout error.

The easiest way is to use pywinauto.timings.WaitUntilPasses

app = pywinauto.Application()
app.start('calc')
window = pywinauto.timings.WaitUntilPasses(10, 0.5, lambda: app.window_(title=u'About Calculator'))
#run About manually in 10 seconds
<pywinauto.application.WindowSpecification object at 0x02DD0DB0>
