What you did?
Well, traffic jam is a common scene especially in big cities where people waste a lot of time on daily basis in jams. I would like to share one such experience when I was stuck for long time. I vividly remember, last month I planned to go for shopping on weekend with my friend in Ludhiana. We made a plan of shopping in a mall and watch latest movie followed by a meal in a restaurant and we were really excited about it. Unfortunately, in the morning my friend cancelled the plan for some reason, but I decided to go alone. I boarded the bus to Ludhiana which takes around 1 hour to reach. I still remember it was a hot summer day and the bus was not air conditioned, but still fully packed. Somehow, I managed to get a seat but the journey was really uncomfortable. I was listening to music on my mobile phone when all of a sudden, the bus stopped. I saw a long queue of vehicles ahead and I thought the road would be clear in 10 minutes, but the situation got worse. To be honest. It was more like a torture to manage in this crowded bus on such a hot day. I was sweating all over and the loud horns and toxic fumes of other vehicles were giving me headache. I decided to play a game on. my mobile phone, to kill the time. However, just in 10 minutes time my phone battery got dead. Later we got to know that the jam is because of an accident which may take long time to clear until the police let the traffic move. It was the height of my pationce and I decided to get out off the bus and hail the bus on the other side of the road to travel back to my home.After wasting 4 hours I was back home and I was really frustrated as a traffic jam ruined my weekend.
