Indian Standard Time (IST)

A running joke among us Indians who always come late to any kind of fun events (parties, celebrations, attending religious worship, etc). We usually come 15 minutes to 30 minutes to an hour behind schedule due to laziness, procrastination, or having families who take forever to get ready.

It's also hypocritical cos we end up early for boring stuff like school and examinations because if we don't our parents will whip us for it.

"Hey Sanjay, you came here so late dude! you missed out on cake, shots, games, truth or dare! How did you get here?"

"Hey Jake, I only came here in Indian Standard Time (IST)"
"What do you mean Indian Standard Time?"
"you live only 20 minutes from me, so I left exactly at 7 pm when the party started, and then I realised I forgot to get your present halfway through, so I drove 10 minutes back home to get the present, only to realise my dog Sultan pissed on the couch so I spent another 20 minutes cleaning the couch, then I had to take a 20-minute shower to get the stench off me, and my girlfriend Preethi told me to do the dishes so I spent 20 minutes on the dishes, then on my way to your place the shortest route had a car crash, so I took the route that made me late by 30 minutes, and I'm here now!"
