   Hindu Myth or Story about Time

   I am trying to trace a wonderful story about Time I heard on the radio   
   several years ago.   
      
   All I can remember is that a man, in some crisis and at a cross-roads,   
   asks Vishnu for help. He is told to go and do something for Vishnu:   
   then, when carrying out his task, he forgets. He meets a woman, marries,   
   has a family...a whole life-time goes by and then, one day, in some   
   crisis he finds himself again at the cross-roads and Vishnu asks him why   
   he has taken so long to return, and has he carried out his task.   
      
   Does this ring any bells with anyone? Do you know the name or source of   
   this story.
