Well, I've had to delay many trips in my life due to unavoidable circumstances. If I had to pick one that I was really looking forward to but was delayed, I remember when I finished high school, my parents planned a trip to Chandigarh. I was so excited because it was a dream of mine to explore this city. I packed all my essentials, like clothes, shoes, and even credit cards. I even booked plane tickets, which was the icing on the cake because it was my first time flying. But then, I received a call from an unknown number. When I answered, I was devastated. The person on the other end told me that my grandfather had been in an accident. I was shocked. Even though it was my dream to go to Chandigarh, my family comes first. My parents and I rushed to the hospital and admitted my grandfather. Unfortunately, he was very badly injured, and the doctor recommended immediate surgery. We agreed, and we stayed at the hospital for seven days. As the eldest daughter, I felt a lot of responsibility. It was a tough time. I was so disappointed because I had been looking forward to this trip for so many reasons. My friends had told me so much about Chandigarh, how it was the capital of Punjab and a beautiful city. I wanted to see all the famous places, like the Rose Garden and the Rock Garden. If I ever get the chance, I will definitely go there.
