On 12th May, morning we have started the journey from Thiruvananthapuram. Even though I was ready around 6 a.m. as per the schedule, my friends , who are also advocates residing different parts of Thirvannthapuram, got delayed to reach at place of embarkation, as they are accustomed with the Indian punctuality. Punctuality is a religion in England. That is why they could establish an Empire on which the sun never sets and we lost even our motherland for long period. Even though we were ruled by the British for longtime, we thoroughly failed to copy their good qualities, which we ought to have learned from them. In this regard it is better to quote from Mahatma Gandhi, "we should learn one thing from the British ie., their punctuality". But never materialized his dream, like his other dreams viz, non-violence and undivided India. Ironically, later he himself had become the victim of the violence.
In India everybody use their wrist watch to know how they are slow in their work place as well as in all other engagements. Here it doesn't matter, if somebody a bit late or early and everybody adjusts with latecomers.To justify their delay, they may blame railway time or public transport system or they may find some other reason and others would pretend as if they swallowed their version,as it was. Late comers are often dejected. Those who go first will be served first. Getting up early in the morning and starting our work is the best way to keep a head of others. We should remember that there are people who start every thing early and they quite naturally get the earliest result, which is embodied in the proverb" the early bird catches the worm".
