One day while I was travelling from hostel to home with the destination just an hour away, I reached for the earphones in my bag only to find random stuff that I’d never seen before.
This is the most challenging situation I’ve ever faced in my life. I had lost not just my iPod and all my clothes then, but also my original mark sheets and certificates at the Chandigarh railway station.
The only thing I carried in my pocket was a battered old mobile phone and 20 Rs. I was at my wit's end and didn’t know what to do. Going home didn’t seem like an option, so I headed back to the station. This, as it turned out, was worse than useless, as the unknown person who had my belongings was obviously not there, and the empty platform just left me feeling forlorn.
Fortunately, however, upon reaching home we discovered an id and business cards of a kindly looking nurse. A few phone calls and a day later a much-relieved nurse and a slightly chagrined I were able to get our belongings back. What I learnt that day was to keep my wits together because when #Murphy’sLaw strikes, you need to strike back.
