Here I would like to share one of my experiences when I stopped in terrible traffic jam. I really remember that a couple of years ago when I was travelling to Surat in order to celebrate Krishna Janmotsav which is very renowned as a Janmas to me in Gujarat. And for that I rely on public transportations. When I reached at Baruch, my bus suddenly stopped and I waited for 15 minutes. Then after I decided to look out and inquire about the situations. Then conductor of the bus told me that Golden Bridge was collapsed due to heavy rain. So we had to wait for more than 6-7 hours to kill the time I called my best friend Purva. Then after I decided to listen to a song which really helped me to keep myself calm and relaxed. Then I started watching web series which is one of my best special ops and I completed that part of one within 3 hours. I felt so frustrated because it was more than 9 hours. Then after I realised it was only about our safety purpose and finally I reached at 1pm in my aunt’s home.

Then I decided to listen to a song, which really helped me keep calm and relaxed. After that, I started watching a web series, which is one of my favorites, Special Ops, and I completed that part within 3 hours. I felt so frustrated because it was more than 9 hours.
