Despite being notoriously impatient on the roads, some Indians do have a tendency to be unpunctual. An Australian woman visiting this beautiful country highlighted this habit in her hilarious video. But what prompted her to make the video was when she reached a party over one hour late but only to realise that she was the first one to arrive.
“Indian Standard Time!! I can’t get on it! No matter how hard I try, I’m always early!!! How late should I be to things so that I am on time?” podcaster and Instagram user Bree Steele wrote with her video.
