Why it was important?
Well, this is an interesting incident, and it happened to me very recently. I forgot something essential on January 14, which is the day of the Kite Flying festival in India. It is a very popular festival, especially among the youth. The festival is called Makar Sankranti in the local language.
What I forgot was my sunglasses. It was very important for me to remember my sunglasses because it is the third most essential thing to have after the kite and the thread. It was obviously a sunny day, and I had to look up high in the sky to fly a kite.
One major reason why it was necessary to remember my glasses was that I had taken part in one kite flying competition on that day. On a normal day, I would have managed without it. However, because it was a competition, it was required for me to be vigilant and protect my kite and its string from other competitors. One more significant reason was that I suffer from migraines, and my head starts aching when I am into direct sunlight.
What was the result of my forgetting? Initially, I was very angry with myself. There was no time to go back home and get my goggles because the competition had begun. So, what I did is I found a shade and managed to at least start flying my kite anyhow. As soon as my kite was up in the sky, I gave a call to my friend who was going to join me sometime.
I requested him to come fast and get me an extra pair of glares along with him. He did come fast, and my problem was finally solved. But there were two consequences of my forgetting my sunglasses. One is that my head started to pain badly, and the other is that I did not enjoy the competition due to all the chaos. But yes, I learnt a lesson to prepare in advance so that I don’t miss important things in a hurry.
