Haste makes Waste

Haste makes waste

A Friend of mine was very relaxed and seldom gets upset over smaller things in day to day life. He used to come to hospital late and used to go home late. Even our chief could not change his habits and relaxed attitude. He used to see the departure time of trains and flights unlike us who are very particular about the arrival time. He would come so late to the Conferences and marriage receptions that the organizers know that the last person has come once they spot him.
Once he along with his boss had to go to Mumbai to attend a medical conference. The tickets were booked one month in advance. The d- day arrived and they reached the station in time and boarded the train. The TT checked their ticket and said sir your train is very near to Mumbai; you are twenty four hours late. They were surprised how come they were so late? The TT told them sir your train leaves after midnight there lays the point. They had to occupy a berth in an ordinary compartment reached the conference a day late. He has retired but he still remains what he was some twenty years back.
