I'd like to talk about a time when I had to wait for a train which was really late. A few years back, I was travelling back to my home for my cousin's wedding. On the scheduled day, I reached the station 20 minutes early, and it was the perfect time. But after that, I had to wait almost 3 hours since the train was late.
