This bag was really important to me.

It was my first time travelling between these two cities. I was alone and a little nervous because I was not sure about the exact spot where I had to get off the bus. So, I decided to put Google Maps on my mobile phone. Accidentally, I put my handbag on the seat next to me because it was empty, and both of my fingers were busy on the phone. When the bus stopped, I got so excited to get out and totally forgot about my bag. I realized after getting out of the bus. But it was too late to stop it.

When and where it happened?
I am an extremely finicky person so it hardly ever happens that I misplace something or lose something. However, around four months ago, while organizing and managing a family event, I lost something that would make my mum taunt me for life, I’m sure.
What it was?
It was the only gold ring I owned, which had cost around 40,000 Indian Rupees.
How important and valuable it was?
Considering the cost of it, it was extremely valuable because in my family, we invest in gold and even jewellery quite rarely. The one time I did, I ended up losing it. Moreover, I had bought it just two weeks prior to the function. So, that added to the hurt.
How you lost it?
Honestly, it wasn’t completely my fault because I had given it to my cousin to take care of it while I did a chore. She ended up misplacing it. But since it was mine, and since I could have, in fact should have, kept it in the cupboard safely, I do blame myself mostly.
Explain how you felt about the experience.
I was on a rollercoaster of emotions at that moment. From feeling confused and upset, to feeling nervous and angry; I felt it all. After hearing a lot of valid scoldings from my mum, I realized that when I have something as valuable as a gold ring, I have to be extra cautious, and also ensure I don’t give it to someone else to take care of it.

What was the item and when did you lose it?
On my graduation day, my grandfather had gifted me an exquisite watch. It was a Swiss-made watch with a transparent dial. What made the wristwatch so unique was that the machinery inside was visible due to the clear dial.
Why was the item so precious to you?
I was so fond of the watch that I wore it only on special occasions. Every time I wore the watch my friends complimented me and invariably enquired from where I had bought it. The watch had a black outer dial and a matching snake leather belt which accentuated the overall look of the wrist watch. Moreover, I could accessorize it with all my outfits owing to its neutral colour.
How did you lose it ?
Once I graduated, I managed to secure a job with a reputed company. On my first assignment, I had to travel to Bangalore with the team. We all checked into the same hotel and stayed there for two days. As this was my first assignment I thought I should dress well, and therefore had carried the watch. However, on my return I could not find the watch in my luggage. I immediately called up the hotel, however they could not locate it. I was heartbroken as it was so precious to me. For the next few days I could not get it out of my head and I was depressed.
I had given up all hope of ever finding it but after two weeks my colleague stood at my door with the watch. Possibly it got mixed up with his belongings as we both shared a room during our stay in Bangalore.

When and where did you lose it ?
During my last vacation to Lansdowne, I lost my mobile phone while roaming around the market during the evening hours. I was roaming around the quaint market, looking at the different local items available, and did not at first realise that my phone was missing. It was when my coat pocket felt lighter that I realised it was missing.
What did you do to find it?
I started panicking and my friends and I scattered around the market looking for it. My friend advised me to block the number immediately, in order to avoid any kind of fraudulent activities. We searched for the phone for more than an hour but we could not locate it. It was getting cold and the market was shutting down, so we had to abandon the search.

I went back to the hotel with a nagging worry and could not sleep through the night. Next morning we decided to go the local police station to lodge a complaint. As we were waiting for the personnel to lodge our complaint, a person came into the police station with a phone in his hand. I immediately recognised my phone as it had a shiny casing. This individual was the same person who was selling local fruits in the market. He informed me that after returning home he found the phone underneath the fruits in the basket.
I had probably left it there while buying the fruits. I was simply overjoyed to get back my phone and thanked the fruit seller from the bottom of my heart

What you lost and when and where did you lose it?
I am such a cautious and vigilant person that I am always the designated caretaker of things in my friend circle. But even then, I did lose something extremely precious back in 2020 while I was travelling via flight from Delhi to Kerala – a pair of gold earrings. I was at the security check at the airport when I had to take out certain things like my laptop in a tray to get it all through the scanner. As I took all that out, I probably also pulled out the jewelry box with the earrings and dropped it.
What did you do to find it?
I was oblivious to the huge blunder I had just made. When I reached my boarding gate, my extra-cautious side kicked in and decided to do a quick check on all my belongings. That’s when it hit me like a truck and I froze. I ran to the security check and told the officials about my situation. They tried to find it but told me, with a hint of pity, that anyone who’d see a box of gold earrings would take it with them if they have ill intentions. Somewhere in my heart I hoped that that wouldn’t be the case, but it was. And after multiple failed attempts, I returned to my boarding gate empty-handed.
Explain how you felt about it
I think I was filled with guilt and fear of my family, but the most prominent feeling in that moment was that I was extremely disappointed with myself. I couldn’t fathom that I let this happen. Ironically, I had kept the earrings in my bag so that they’d be in my sight constantly. Now that it has been so many years, and nothing of the sort has happened again, I feel better but I think I’ll never forgive myself for losing a pair of gold earrings at an airport.
