As I made my way into the tambaram sanatorium railway station for purchasing a few tickets, I realized I was in possession of a season ticket. I looked at the date on it. It read 12/07/2012 as the expiry date. Oh, who cares that they are to be interpreted differently in different parts of the world! Since I just returned after spending five months in the US, I almost got lost on the fact that it had to be interpreted as 12th July 2012 and not 7th December 2012.
I pushed the ticket and requested for a renewal (to avoid the hassle of pulling out IDs again, of course!). The question from the counter was, "Renewal?? Post five months of time on a quarterly season ticket?" Talk of some grounding post landing..! Oh, but dates are meant for confusion, aren't they? ;)
