This incident happened about two years ago when I was traveling from my hometown to Delhi by train. It occurred at the railway station just before boarding.
The item I lost was my smartphone. It wasn’t just any phone—it was a recently gifted iPhone that I had received on my birthday.
The phone was both financially and emotionally valuable. It was quite expensive and had all my contacts, photos, personal notes, and banking apps. Beyond its price, it held sentimental value because my parents had saved for months to buy it for me.
I had placed the phone on a bench while waiting for my train and got distracted by an announcement. In the rush to get to the platform, I completely forgot about it. By the time I realized and ran back, it was gone. I asked around and even reported it to the railway authorities, but it was never found.
I felt terrible—frustrated, anxious, and guilty all at once. I couldn’t believe I had been so careless. For days, I kept replaying the moment in my head. It taught me a tough lesson about being more mindful of my belongings, especially in crowded public places.
