“ “I forgot my admit card.” I worriedly said to my uncle who was driving scooter on the busy road of Delhi. We were about to reach my examination centre for my higher secondary final exams. Instead of scolding, my uncle took a U turn towards house. This is 20 years old incidence but it is as fresh as it has happened just now.” Mr ‘M’ narrated me.
“No one is born a Genius though becomes one by forgetting things.” I told him. :-D
Have you ever forgotten such an important thing? ;-)
