“Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be “<\/span>
\nI have admired this quote many a times . \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 . Infact it is one of my fav .<\/p>\n

Today i got a message saying
\n“Hey..Dulta meeting today.. At 8pm<\/span> .. Sun Lab ..Every1 must come.. So be there.. !<\/p>\n

Being confused about whether i am a dulta member or not, i finally decided to attend this meeting . Not because i decided to work dulta, neither i am afraid about chucked out of dulta , but i was jobless and anyway i will be in SUN lab working for my SOC. So i did not mind attending the meeting .<\/p>\n

But things went really great . I never realised that the 8 PM is “dulta’s 8 PM” . And just today i came to know that there is a timezone difference of 30 minutes between IST and Dulta’s Time \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I went to sun lab at around 7.45 (foolish me) and started coding for LDTP<\/a> in the SUN systems. Yazhini<\/a>,
\nPadmini and Deepak Kumar Jha came there on time (all three compsci’s ) . Some 10 mins after that , Nitin (a prod guy ) came to me asking whether there was a dulta meeting there or not ? .<\/p>\n

I was really really curious to know who sent that message. I really hoped that DK sent that message ( he was the only senior present there ) . But seems he did not send that message . Finally i asked yazhini and padmini not to waste their time and they went back to their hostel by 8.30 . DK also went to room saying that he has to finish his English report.<\/p>\n

Finally “the man” who sent that message came exactly at 8.35 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 . I expected him to say a sorry to the members waiting there . But again i was surprised to see him to start directly as
\n“Ok everyone check http:\/\/dulta\/info and i want it to be nitt.edu by tonight . Think we have to work tonight blah blah blah blah …”.<\/p>\n

I also like this quote
\nIf I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own.<\/span> <\/span>
\nRichard Cecil<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I really wish these people learn this someday soon .
\nBut yes , i learnt some new stuff from this strange experience .
\n1. Dulta is always waste of time.
\n2. Never ever make anyone wait for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
