How you felt about missing an appointment?
Well, I am punctual person and I always do my things on or before time. Today, I am going to share an instance when I missed my passport appointment. It was around 6 years before (you can mention your passport appointment year here), when I had to reach at passport office, Chandigarh. I vividly remember, my was scheduled at sharp 1 pm. I went there by Car. While travelling to Chandigarh, I saw an accident. A man was suffering with pain, and no one was there to help him, so I gave him first aid. Then, I took him hospital for treatment and informed his family. As soon as his family came at hospital, I began my journey again. Unfortunately, I got late to reach. I was almost half an hour late. After reaching there, gatekeeper denied my entry because I was not there on given reporting time. Even after having lunch, I had to wait so long for my turn. Moreover, there was no one to talk and even my smartphone got discharged due to which I got bored. Finally, my passport appointment was completed at 5.30 pm and after some days, I got my passport. Even though I was disappointed for missing my appointment as I had to pay unnecessarily again for new appointment, but I was also happy because I saved someone's life.
