Well, I'm a very punctual person and always try to reach everywhere on time. I got this habit from my father, who is very disciplined and strict about being on time. If I have an appointment, I take myself extra precautions and try to arrive ten minutes before my appointment. But sometimes I have been late due to reasons such as traffic congestion and traffic signals. The last time I was late was for my friend's birthday party, which he organized in his garden. I arrived after the time I was supposed to be there. He invited me to his birthday party in his garden. He has a huge garden that consists of four parts. The first part consists of flowering plants and has a variety of flowers. The second section is actually ornamental plants, and this section is very popular among the visitors. The third section features ornamental fruit trees like mangoes, bananas, and other seasonal fruits. The last section of the garden is empty for events. He organized his party there. I was late due to a traffic problem, and I felt terrible when I arrived. He was staring at me, and I was very ashamed that I was late.
