When it happened?
I consider myself as a very punctual person. I remember when I was in college and I had a paper presentation one morning, things did not go as I planned. I had prepared for it with all my determination.But one day before the presentation I fell ill. I tried to make sure that I took my medicine on time and slept early.
What happened?
Unfortunately, I did not wake up in time that day due to the strong medicine dose. I had to reach at 9am but I left my home at 9am and reached my college at 9:30 am. The other students were all set with their presentations, whereas I entered in panic. The cherry on the cake was that I was first in line for the presentation that day. Thankfully, the professor came in at 9:45am. I tried to calm myself down. But I felt very anxious.
Why you missed/were late for it? And explain how you felt about this experience?
By God’s grace that day I managed to deliver my presentation nicely with minor fumbling here and there. I started with a little hesitation but as it went on things were in line. I fell sick suddenly due to which I got late. That day I realized the importance of keeping fit and healthy as it can impact important events in our lives.
All in all, I felt quite anxious because of this incident and became all the more careful about my health and fitness.

When did it happen?
One of the most important meetings I had when I was in school was the selection of the school badminton team and unfortunately, I arrived late. It is the worst memory I have of my school days.
What happened? Why you missed/were late for it?
During my school days, I used to travel by my school bus to reach school, we were never late, however, that day we witnessed a major accident that had taken place on the highway crossing just a kilometer from my school, and the entire traffic was stuck because of this reason. That was the day I had seen so much blood on the road and the two crying ladies were like horror to me. I still remember that for days, We all used to pray for their healthy life.
Explain how you felt about this experience.
Despite all that happened on the road, the worst part was that because of being late, I could not participate in the first round of selection and was just marked as a substitute candidate, and would finally get a chance only if anyone from my team would either deny the participation or be dismissed off by the authorities. After working dedicatedly for months, I felt this was the last time of my life and was badly upset, and emotional to a level I had no control but being a sports person I was supposed to show sportsmanship and just wait for the right time.

When was it ?
While there have been several occasions when I have been late but there is one particular day I remember vividly. I was scheduled to join the wedding of my friend from my university days in Kolkata
What happened on that day?
On that particular day I was supposed to catch a train to Kolkata and I was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. The central rail station is quite far from my place so I started in good time. My train was at 4.55 pm and I started from home at around 2 pm. At first we covered more than half of the distance in proper time with ample time to spare. However, as we neared the station and was just about 3 kms away, we were met with an unprecedented traffic jam. At first I thought the traffic lights are not working, however soon it was clear there must be some other reason for the bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Soon my driver and I got down to find out the reason for the jam-packed traffic. That’s when we saw the huge procession ahead. It was a religious congregation celebrating a special day. The procession moved at a very slow pace and it was impossible to bypass them. After a long wait of 45 minutes we managed to move ahead and raced to the station. We only had 5 minutes to reach the designated platform and board the train. We rushed through the crowded station but missed the train by a whisker.
What consequences did you face due to the delay ?
As I missed the train I could not reach on time for the wedding celebrations and only managed to attend the reception the day after. I still regret not being able to attend the wedding of such a close friend despite all efforts.

When it happened
During my college years, my father was transferred to a different city and due to this reason, I had to seek admission in another college in the place where my father was transferred to.
What happened
I first made a list of the colleges I was interested in and approached them. Unfortunately, in most of these colleges, the admission process was over and I was left with very few choices. However, I was lucky enough to get a call from one of the better institutes. Once the initial scrutiny was over, I was informed that since the admission process was already over, my admission would be at the sole discretion of the principal. The following week on a Monday, I was to appear before the principal at the appointed hour.
Why you missed/were late for it
On that particular day I had all my papers ready and I made sure that I started early. However, it suddenly started pouring and I was stuck at home for a good half hour. At that time I was living in a moffusil area, in a suburb outside the main town of Kolkata, where the primary mode of transport was the local trains. Unfortunately on that day, due to rain, the trains were running late. I managed to catch a train after a 45- minute long wait.
And explain how you felt about this experience
By the time I reached the college, I was already delayed by almost an hour. I was in tears as I thought the principal would probably refuse to grant me an audience. To my surprise, the principal not only met me but after talking to me, he signed the admission papers immediately.

Whenever I book an appointment I make sure I reach 10 to 15 minutes earlier just to ensure there’s no delay on my part. Yet last year, I was an hour late to my dentist appointment. I had to get an emergency root canal done. I had informed my boss timely and managed to get all my work done efficiently in such a manner that I could leave earlier than needed just to be safe. My dentist’s clinic was around two hours away from my office so I wanted to get an early headstart to avoid traffic. Alas, my client had an emergency meeting which went on for an hour. That meant I’d get stuck in traffic and reach late.
And explain how you felt about this experience
I had informed my doctor and apologized as well. Yet the guilt of making someone else wait and also taking up a slot that could’ve been for some other patient made me feel quite low. I arrived pretty late and the doctor ended up staying beyond their work hours due to my delay. Till date, I apologize to my doctor and now I make sure I never reach even one minute late for any appointment with him.

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not disappoint me just as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you would probably have something useful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you can fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.
