On Time : Courtesy Natural Intervention


Author: Dr. K. S. Kang


I am an infrequent and casual member of the Pickle Ball Game Club. Whenever I have time and proper temperament I visit the club to play a couple of games of this new sport. One day an interesting incident took place when I received a message on my mobile phone to reach the club to play a game of Pickle Ball at 6.15 p.m with a person of some eminence who was interested in playing this nascent game. I was too busy that evening to keep an eye on the inbox messages of Whats App. Next morning when I looked up in the message box of my Whatapp account after going through the newspaper cursorily I spotted this message and after reading it thought that I had missed the opportunity to have a game with this celebrity as I did not see the message a day earlier.


But my sixth sense took me to the club in the morning despite the knowledge that due to my negligence I had missed the opportunity of playing a couple of games with this person of eminence. As I entered the club I was pleasantly surprised when one of my club fellow introduced me to a new person who wanted to play the game. During the game it was another pleasant surprise to know that he was the same person who was supposed to play in the evening a day earlier but some thing withheld him to come in the evening so he decided to come in the morning next day instead. After the gruelling game in equally gruelling temperature of nearly 35 degrees even in the morning I came to know that due to sand storm and a light drizzle that person could not come to the club in the evening a day earlier as planned and so he was there in the morning to play with us. I was glad to know that I had not missed the opportunity rather I was on time due tot he courtesy of natural intervention in the form of sand storm and rain that withheld him to come to the club in the evening a day earlier.
