The office staff has told me all the times and location of that area. It is a very big event which is I think like a conference. For that, I started preparation and I was the chief guest in that. I completed all the preparation. It is far from my village. For that, I booked a ticket with return journey. They consulted me again in phone to confirm I am coming or not. I told them everything. I will be there on that day before your time. While going, I reached railway station. After reaching, I asked someone when the train is arriving. Then he told me the train has departed.

An important meeting or event which I missed is my internal examination. It was open elective. In my CEM VI, I was extremely late for the examination because I was got stuck up in the traffic. I was really tensed and angry because of it. I couldn't able to focus on the exam, moreover the examiners scolded me for being late and I was asked to seat myself in the end of the row like it was completely in the corner. Like there would be no place for seating or like completely an outcast. So I feel terrible and pity for being late. It was absolutely my mistake because I can't complain about the traffic. Although it was not in my hand, I could have taken a better step like I could have get myself ready a bit earlier so that I could have reached my examination on time. Therefore, it was...

Follow up questions


How did you feel during the exam after arriving late?
I felt extremely anxious and frustrated. Being late made it hard for me to concentrate on the questions, and I was worried about how my performance would be affected. The scolding from the examiners only added to my stress, making it a very uncomfortable experience.

What steps do you think you could take to avoid being late in the future?
In the future, I plan to prepare earlier and leave for important events with extra time to spare. I could also check traffic conditions beforehand and consider alternative routes or modes of transportation to ensure I arrive on time.

Have you ever missed any other important events due to similar reasons?
Yes, I have missed a few social gatherings and appointments due to traffic or poor planning. Each time, I learned the importance of time management and the need to account for unexpected delays, which has helped me improve my punctuality.

I missed an important event where I was invited by an honoured college for a debate competition for which I worked months and months preparing for it. I missed it because my bus was late and it wasn't an excuse for me to make. But generally that day I woke up late, got a late bus too, then got delayed by everything and I kind of blamed it on my life, how my life is terrible for me, how tough it is for me. And obviously the college that invited me told me that it was my mistake and my carelessness that made the situation worse. They were waiting for me for first half an hour for me to start for the debate competitions with other participants. They had to wait for me which made the event go very very boggless and I had to kind of particularly be felt sorry, apologetic and guilty for what I did. But it was honestly my fault, I missed it and I don't want to blame it on someone else because it was my mistake to be starting with. It was rare, the event took place in Bandra, my house is in Kandibli so it was a huge distance I had to cover in one day. So yeah, eventually I missed a bus which made my plans go haywire and I couldn't complete my vision of the day which was to participate in it and make my parents proud of it. But whatever, I guess it's fate.

Follow up questions


How did you feel when you realized you would miss the event?
I felt a mix of anxiety and disappointment. I had invested so much time preparing for the debate, and missing it felt like a huge letdown, not just for myself but also for my parents who were looking forward to seeing me participate.

What did you learn from this experience?
I learned the importance of time management and planning ahead. I realized that even small delays can have significant consequences, and I need to be more responsible to avoid such situations in the future.

Have you missed any other important events in your life?
Yes, I have missed a few other events due to various reasons, like miscommunication or last-minute changes. Each time, it has taught me valuable lessons about preparation and the need to stay organized.

Thank you for the great question. It helped me jog through my memories and made me remember all of, many of my past mistakes. So the incident that I want to talk about, it just happened recently. It was when I went to give an interview for the college admission. My sister had talked to the principal and I was called in the early morning of 8am. So from Bellagopi to my home, till the college, it was about 2 hours distance. So I woke up early. Now that I look back on it, I feel like it was partly not my mistake but rather of the auto driver. So yeah, let's get back to the question. So I arrived in Mysore at about 7.30 I guess and then I hired an auto rickshaw and gave them the name of my college which is the J.S.S. School of Nursing. When I said J.S.S. School of Nursing, I didn't know that in Mysore there were plenty of J.S.S. schools. So the auto driver left me in another location which was also a J.S.S. location but not my college. So I waited there for quite some time but my sister wasn't able to find me and I was I was not able to find her too. So we lost much time in that finding thing and then at last we got to know that I had been dropped off to the wrong location and then I went to another location and again the driver dropped me off to the wrong location. So that was a very unpleasant experience but thankfully I made it in about 10 minutes late I guess and fortunately the principal was not that mad so I guess it all came out great. But yeah that was a very hectic morning for me but I got the admission, I got the seat and right now I am studying here so

Follow up questions


How did you feel when you realized you were at the wrong location?
I felt a mix of panic and frustration. I was anxious about missing the interview and worried that my sister wouldn't find me. It was a stressful moment, especially since I had prepared so much for this opportunity.

What steps did you take to ensure you arrived on time despite the delays?
I tried to stay calm and focused. I called my sister to explain the situation and asked for her help in finding the right location. I also made sure to keep track of the time and rushed to the correct place as soon as I realized the mistake.

What did you learn from this experience about planning for important events?
I learned the importance of double-checking details, like the exact location. It's crucial to communicate clearly and confirm information, especially when it involves important events. I also realized that staying calm in stressful situations can help you think more clearly.

Answer

It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

It was a Sunday morning when I had a meeting scheduled at 11 o'clock at the local society meet for an upcoming event that was to be held in the month of December. So all the members were requested to come by 11 or atleast by 11.30 and as you can see I was not exactly late, I don't know what I was saying. It was a Sunday morning and I had a meeting scheduled at 11 o'clock in the morning. As my usual Sunday routine, I woke up late. I was late by atleast half an hour, I was running late in my schedule by half an hour and I had to rush the entire routine, getting ready, running to the meeting spot. I was, fortunately the meeting had not been begun, so I got the time to be seated and not get scolded for being late or anything but it made me realize that I should start working more on how I managed my time, especially on non-productive days like Sundays because usually Sundays are my reset day and I do not quite make any plans other than recreational plans with my friends or my family like going for an outing or going to eat out at a restaurant, something like, something that makes me feel relaxed. So usually there are no meetings scheduled on Sundays but as it is an event to be held in the next month, I had to be present for the meeting as I was a part of the organizing committee.

I know that I should not miss any meeting anymore. I will be right on time. I need punctuality. Punctuality is very important in life.

Well, I'm very punctual person. I always like to organize things on time. And I also like to be very organized person. Here I would like to talk about one such about a time when I missed an important meeting. It was two years ago when I was applying for my new passport. And I get appointment for that event online. I booked appointment online. It was scheduled that Monday at 10am. But I noted down it on paper, but I did not set a proper reminder for it. It was two years ago when I booked online appointment. Due to my hectic schedule, I did not have much time to rely on my memory to keep things in mind. There are two reasons why I missed it. First one is I am really working hard on my class presentation for my final year at college. And apart from it, I also prepared for myself a two-part family trip. So this was a juggling. So I had it out of my mind. I completely forget about it.

It is like, on the Sunday, I went to my friend's sister's wedding, and in the early morning I came late to the office, and in meanwhile, while traveling in the bus, my manager called me what happened to me, and asked what happened to me, and why the late, since it is the starting days of my company, I felt very nervous, very nervous, thinking about what happened to my job, and will they terminate me, will they terminate me, or will they cut my salary, and these are the things going into my mind, but after going into the company, I felt some days, I felt 2-3 days like this only, then after that, nobody asked about this incident, and manager also didn't care about this, so I felt that don't think much, and I felt okay, and I made this incident on like past, about past one year, thank you for giving this figure, for describing my past event.
