Being a person with an eidetic memory I have never lost anything. But sometimes moving to a new place have the consequence of losing my way. I vividly remember a time when I was lost, i was in the 10th standard. My school has organized the trip to Jaipur.
I went there with my friends as well as my teachers. On the next day of the trip when we went to see the Nahargarh Fort. The fort has a lot of doors which I was a little perplexed or confused.
Me and my friends went further on that journey but after sometime I lost my way because I went at the last door of the fort and my friends were on the other side. I was on pins and needles.
when I reached there I was scared because I cannot see even a single person nearby me.
After that, I started moving further to find my way. It was too scary and I was terrified because on my way I saw too many insects which I am scared off.
I was going on my way where I met a person who was the guide of that fort. I felt over the moon talking to him about the way and I told him my problem.
He tackled my problem within seconds as he told me that moving towards the last door of that fort is the way where I will reach my friends. I took my mind off by listening to that and I went further.
After passing the door I met my friends and my teachers and they told me that they were finding me in the whole fort, I told them the whole story and after finding them I felt serene.
It was all about the journey where I lost my way and found it with the help of a guide.
