Miss the bullet The idiom “Miss the bullet” refers to missing out on an opportunity. In a city like Chennai, notorious for its traffic congestion, it is crucial to plan ahead when catching a train or a flight. I recall an incident where an individual from Chennai was invited to represent their organization at a conference in France. Despite planning ahead and leaving home an hour early, they encountered heavy traffic on the way to the airport. Unfortunately, they missed the opportunity to catch their flight on time. However, the good news for Chennai residents is the availability of metro train (CMRL )services these days. The efficient metro system enables us to reach our destinations promptly, ensuring that we don’t miss the bullet and can make it to our desired places on schedule.
