Beautiful Thing About Life?

Rivers, streams, forest, lake, grass fields, flowers and many more are the things we always want around us, why we want these well every individual has their own reasons. Now let me come to parties, social gatherings, music, and dance one can witness these in their day to day life. But I will not discuss about those thing which give us pleasure and make us feel comfortable. 

What about things and situations from which we always get annoyed and  don't like, one has to tackle with the same every now and then. Let me share one incident, one Friday I had to reach somewhere in the evening the timing was 6pm to & 7pm sharp and last entry was allowed till 5:30 pm. I planned every thing accordingly as Friday is a weekday so office was there so I decided to leave the office at 3:45pm as the place where I had to reach was very far and estimated time to reach there was 1:15mins by bus or by our own vehicle. So as a normal day after reaching office I  started working as per plan so that I can leave early, but that day some external work came to me and I had to spent some time to that also but I was able to leave on time and reached the bus stand, after waiting for 26 minutes I got the bus and started my re-assessment whether I would be on time or not, I was little worried but I thought I would make it. Before that when I was waiting for the bus, also searched for the cabs and other alternatives but it didn't come out as I was expecting. Meanwhile in the bus I was tensed and my anticipation was very high. I was praying for no traffic jams and other faults that might worse my situation, and there came the heavy rain and within 10 minutes or so the roads were flooded and waterlogging was all around, and my bus got stuck in a jam which was due to the heavy rain, that time I offered my seat to a lady and I was standing and assessing the situation, and looking the maps every now then, at last I decided to alight from the bus look for an auto, after asking two drivers, got one the moment I get into, request to the driver to drive as fast as possible and before  that I asked him how long would it take to reach the destination he replied 20 mins the time was 5:14 pm when I got into the auto 16 minutes was there, he also informed that there would 5 red light in that route, at that time I was again praying no traffic jams and no more heavy rain. At one of the red light I asked the driver to provide me his number so that their is no further delay in payment once I reached the destination.

It was an exam for which I had to be at  that place it was the centre I got, after all the hard work all permutation and combination I reached there at 5:40 pm. It was an online exam, in my admit card it was mentioned the gates would be closed for entry exactly at 5:30pm, after leaving the auto I was in front of the entry gate which was closed, two girls was also there requesting the security guard to allow us the entry but they kept refusing us,  there were other fellows also who also reached after us we all kept requesting but nothing happen, we already had lost the hope that we would be able to attend the exam. As all our request were in vain and one by one we got dispersed from the venue introspecting what went wrong, I got myself shifted at one of the corner around the centre enquiring from where I would get the return bus, but my mind was not wanted me to return I was glued there as in my past I had never missed a single exam. Also I had  payed 1200 rupees as the exam fee. That day I realized that if one had given an exam and he/she  not got shortlisted further one would not feel that much disappointed as I was at that  time. As I was thinking all thing a person came near me he stated that "he had an exam but he got late due to rain" at first I replied oh! it was very heavy rain, as soon as I finished my words he further elaborate his experience and I could not resist myself and told him my situation well after he got information on me, I told him that "I reached there 20 mins before he had reached there" he forget about his disappointment and had a sympathy from me as he told me that "I should have been permitted to enter" keeping in mind the rain and traffic jams. 

Well I was already planning my return I asked him "from where I could reach the city station as I had to return my home'' he was already kind and sympathetic to my situation he told me that he would drop me to the station as he too was going that way. I was happy for the lift I got, we started our journey towards the station and were discussing how we were not on time to the centre. Me  was new to the city, but he was a local but he also didn't know the exact route, we had to made many enquiries before I reached the station and time was 8:18 pm. I thanked him for dropping me, he again repeated that" I should have been permitted" that was too noble from his side. 

But I would like to mention that after the whole incident I feel that my disappointment was bigger than him as he felt so,  that actually had compensated his disappointment. That was truly an out of box experience for me. Though I am still not happy as I had missed my exam........................................................................................................................ and thinking about those 26 minutes at the bus stand, rain and jam..............which was not in my control well that is the beauty of life.
