Expect the unexpected-II

Am Back to post what happened when I switched to American punctuality.Did I continue to be on time where ever I went?

I attend early morning classes where weekly tests are conducted.It is the first test that I was going to appear for.Every thing was fine,perfect and started from home on time.On the way to institute in my two wheeler and it was just 5 more mins to reach.Slowed down as there was red signal and my two wheeler stopped.

My brain understood the green signal that I should GO,but my two wheeler stopped even after seeing the green.I tried to start,kick start,auto start,start,start,start and was totally exhausted.But it didn’t start.I thought there was not enough petrol in the tank.I was unable to find any petrol bunk near to me.After a long hesitation I stopped an auto to ask petrol if he had. The autowalla didn’t have petrol but he directed me to the nearest petrol bunk.Then went to petrol bunk and filled my tank.One of the worker in petrol bunk started for me.

Finally reached the institute half an hour late.It was all because of my two wheeler which made me to suffer and only a week before I got it serviced.Even if I think to keep myself on time there are some evils that don’t allow me.

Expect the unexpected-I


Has anyone appreciated you for American punctuality or has fired for Indian punctuality???????????????????

It always happens with me where I never keep up punctuality.I am always scolded during my school days for not entering the classroom on time.This happenend to me when I was in my 12th std.The reporting time to enter the class is 8.50a.m where I enter only at 9'o clock everyday.My teacher warned me each and everyday.It was warning,warning,warning,................................................one fine day I was caught red handed,ousted from class and restricted me not to sit in the classroom for the whole day.Attended the first period class like outstanding student(LOL)!!!!!!!!
I never expected that my teacher will oust me from classroom.Salty water flowing through my cheeks like water falls,yes I was crying after the first period as my guilty conscious pricked.Ran behind my class teacher to enter the classroom.She refused and asked me to get permission from the principal for entering the classroom.I felt very bad on my punctuality.Then she excused me for the last time.

Reporting on time irrespective of place is to be built from the childhood which I never took it as a serious matter.One of the characteristic feature that each and everyone should adapt is punctuality.This is an instance of Indian punctuality where I strongly determine to be a true Indian citizen.What happened when I switched over to American punctuality.....................................................wait and watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
