Mr. Last Minute


Well it was my last exam (second semester) at Heidelberg and the day before i would start my career at Triumph. I planned everything in advance but as always as my Nick name suggest had to make lots of last minute move in order to reach the station on time.

The story begins!.
My last exam was Cisco online exam which started at 10 am and shortly after my exam i had to catch my train to munich which was at 12:40 . But the sad part was that the duration of exam was of 3 hours and train was at 12:40 so you can see i had to do everything as fast as possible. I was trying my level best to complete the exam before time and i did the same in 2 hours 36 minutes( Gosh i am really super fast :-) )
By this time it was 12:36 pm i was left with just 4 minutes to catch my train. I just ran to my instructor’s office and God he took the longest 1 minute of my life to check the exam paper and yippee i got 88% ( 2 Fat boys ) being sarcastic now, I was continuously thinking about every single minute wasted. I am left with 3 minutes only.

Time 12:37pm left instructors room with 2 roller bags, one bag pack and ran like I was a soldier and going to a war thanks to my PR skills i made some great Friends there and one of them who was from turkey came to my rescue he helped me in carrying the roller bag and helped me reach my goal train station that to on time.

The longest train journey has just started but for just 6 Euros. My starting station was Heidelberg .

From there train will reach to Ochsenkopf then to Würzberg. This was just the beginning of my great Journey and the Longest one too now from Würzberg train was moving towards Nürnberg and after that My destination was waiting for me München. It took me 7 hours to complete it.

Time check: 20:00pm, Totally exhausted, tired and still 1 hour journey to the place where I was supposed to stay, Schwabhausen (bei Dachau). Struggled to find the right platform and when I reached, train after 1 hour to Schwabhausen(Bei Dachau). I managed to reach till Dachau at 21:00pm. And on top of it, heavy rain. No train till next 40 minutes, quit and paid 20 euros to taxi( Damn why cant the train directly go to my new home) and finally reached home.


Moral : Managing time is directly Propotional to saving money
