Ok so let's begin.

I was having a 3 days training at Bangalore office & it was the last day when this incident happened.

My flight was scheduled at 9:15pm on the 3rd day, so I checked out from my hotel room on the morning & took my baggage with me to the office.

On reaching office, I asked one of my colleague if we can book a single cab to the airport and then share the fare.

He immediately agreed & said, "Don't worry brother, we'll go together and we'll split the fare".

Our trainer told us to start booking our cabs at least from 5:30pm & exactly at 6, the very same colleague told me that "Sorry bro we all are going together, make your arrangement yourself".

ME- But we have talked earlier that we'll go together. How would I find cab at this peak hour?

HIM- I don't know man, sorry!

Our trainer ended our class at 6:10pm & now I can see that all the people are going in a hurry to catch the flight at 9:15pm.

Someone told me that, book your cab outside the office premises, it will be easier for you to find cab.

I was running with my luggage and on reaching ground floor, I saw 2-3 guys were also running in a hurry, then suddenly I asked one of them that can they take me with them as I hadn't booked a cab & I am afraid that I'll miss the flight. He said, "Ya bro come with us, we'll manage"

I was very happy and while we were keeping the luggage on the car, I saw those guys who left me at the last moment, leaving for the airport.

Now it was around 6:30 or 6:40pm, we requested the driver to move fast & he did his job really well and we were at the airport at 8:35pm.

(My office to airport distance is around 39.7km).

Now, we boarded our flight.

After the takeoff I realised those guys who left me were not in the plane although they left the office earlier than me.

Next day, when we reported at our office we got to know that those guys missed their flight.

This was my instant karma story.

And yes I forgot to tell you that the guys who helped me at that time are truly gems in real life. Ashu & Abhinav you are the irreplaceable part of my life.

Love you both.
