It is a common problem in the big cities to traffic jam everyday. I saw on the road and here I would like to talk about a dead type. When I was stuck in the jam also it was a normal day and I was travelling from my place to Chandigarh 6 months ago. I was on my way to attempt my exam. The road was already congested with traffic and I had no idea what I needed to do. I was stuck in this traffic jam for an hour. I made the most of my time by catching up on some work and I had some email to reply to. I did that while I was stuck in the jam and I tried to stay at home but at time was passed. I became more anxious to bring late because I had my exam date on the proper time. I was late at that time. I felt I was going to blow the moon because I had no idea what I needed to do. I was stuck in the road also. At that time I felt very good and I was so nervous because it was my real exam. If I cannot go there at that time I just felt disappointed in my life because it was a career of my life. I felt very disappointed on that day because it was a very horrible situation for me. I think that I was just stuck in the jam because I had also an important work. I felt very disappointed and overall it was my first experience and it was a very bad experience to get stuck in the jam. In the future I will take time before reaching the place. I am very conscious about travelling and overall it is the thing which I stuck in the jam.
