I'm not usually late, but one of the most terrifying experiences I've had was during my passport appointment last month. I was about 30 minutes late. I woke up late in the morning, and then there was a lot of traffic on the way. My appointment was in Ludhiana, which is a two-hour drive. When we arrived, they were about to close, and I had to reschedule. I felt terrible and guilty about being so careless. We also saw an accident on the way, which wasn't serious but caused a lot of congestion and arguments, which added to the delay.
