I had to give an interview on Saturday. I hadn't read the venue details properly. I only read about the place where it was situated. There were two place of same name but there were situated far apart.
I started early. It was my habit to be punctual. I went to the bus stop on time. I boarded the wrong bus. When it was moving towards it’s destination a doubt creped in my mind. I thought that I should check my e-mail on my mobile phone. The mail I received from the human resource department of the company had the address were I had to go. I asked the conductor about the address. He told me that I had boarded the wrong bus. He also told me that I had to return to the place where I had boarded this bus. After hearing this, I was blank for some time. The bus was moving constantly. I decided to get off the bus at the next stop. After getting off the bus I asked a shopkeeper where I would get next the bus to starting place. He showed me the bus stop.
As I was moving towards the bus stop, there was a traffic signal. It was red at that time. I saw a bus standing there. I ran towards it. It was my great luck. The bus was going to starting location where I had to go. I boarded it very easily because the traffic signal was still red. The bus was moving very fast. It took about forty five to return to the same place. When the bus reached its destination, I asked the conductor where I would get the second bus. He told me that I would get it across the road. I thanked him and went across the road.
I reached the bus stop. There were many buses standing in a queue but the bus to the destination where I had to go was not there. Suddenly I saw the timetable. I read it. It told me that it would arrive after half an hour. I felt very worried as I was already late by an hour. I started asking people how I would reach to the specified location.
When I was asking the address there was an old man present there. He had to go to the same location. I didn't know why I boarded the same bus he boarded. I sat next to him. He told me that this bus does not go there but it stops at the four square. Four square is the name of a place. In addition to that he told me that I would have to get off the bus at the four square. From there I had to take another bus or an autorickshaw.
I was very tensed because I was already late by an hour. He told me to buy the ticket to the four square. I did as he told me. The bus started moving within five minutes. I was lucky again. He asked me where I had to go? The address contained the name of some school. I started telling him the address. As soon as he heard the name of the school he told me that it is just next to the four square. Secondly, he told me that the place should be nearby. Thirdly he told me that as soon as I get off the bus I should ask somebody about the specified address.
The bus reached the four square in twenty minutes. Both of us got off the bus at four square. I could see the school from the bus. He showed me the school. He was correct. He told me to ask the address from somebody. I walked a little. I asked a shopkeeper the specified address. He told me to move ahead in the same direction and to keep looking to the left, I would find the location.
The old man was with me. I thanked him for his help. I needed his help very badly. As I walked forward for 5 minutes I found out the specified location. I found out the location very easily. I was happy.
This time the old man was God's messenger.
