- why you changed it
- what new plan you made
- and explain how you felt about changing your plan
I have made a lot of plans in the past, and most of them materialized without any issues. However, today I would like to talk about one specific plan that was not successful.
The original plan was that I would go to Kolkata by train. The travelling time from Delhi to Kolkata by train is too long. It takes a whole day to reach there. Therefore, I decided to use this method of transport instead of going in my personal car or by airplane. I had to travel to Kolkata for some business meetings; therefore, I thought that if I drove my own car, it would be impossible to effectively attend those meetings as I would be so tired from driving.
So, I booked the train tickets in advance, a week before my travel date. But the day I went to the train station to catch my train, I was told that the train had been cancelled due to a technical issue on the tracks. Further, no train would go to Kolkata till next week. I was devastated by listening to this and confused about what to do, so I called my friend, and he told me that he’s going to Kolkata by plane and has a ticket available.
Therefore, I bought the plane ticket and picked the flight on time. I felt relaxed after boarding the train because I would not have been able to attend the office meetings otherwise. So, yes, this was one time when I changed my plan.
