There are some moments of life which one likes to remember. They give happiness and one can laugh. But there are some moments in life which bring you nothing but embarrassment. Unluckily, many people have to go through a situation which they would not want to face again. There is one embarraing moment of my life which I would like to share with you. A few months ago, I went to shop near my house. I wanted to buy a few things for my daily use. I entered the shop. There were many people in the store. I asked the salesman for the things which I needed. He collected all the things and packed them in a bag. Then he handed the bill and the bag to me. I went to the cash counter to pay the bill. The bill amount was Rupees 275/-. There were many people at the cash counter. I stood in the queue (line). When my turn came, I put my hand in the pocket to take out my wallet / purse. To my dismay, my pocket was empty. I had forgotten my purse / wallet at home. I was shocked and confused. The man at the counter looked at me with impatience. There was a long line of people behind me who were waiting for their turn. I felt so embarrased. I did not know what to do. I started explaining my situation to the cash clerk. He looked at me with a funny expression. I requested him to keep my bag with him and I implored that I would go back home and would get the money to pay the bill. He smiled and agreed. All the people who were watching me seemed to be laughing at me silently. I felt really embarrassed. I ran home and got the money. I paid the bill and got my things. After that I could not gather the courage to go to the shop again for many days. I can never forget this incident. It was the most embarrasing moment of my life.
