I am not a person who usually loses my way because I double-check the route when I go to a new place, but on one occasion, I lost my way, and it happened one year ago. I went to a housewarming function of my friend Sarah, and it was in Munnar. Munnar is a hilly area and is known for its green tea plantations. After that, I decided to explore the area, but I was unfamiliar with the routes. I took a wrong turn, and after some time, I realized that I had lost my way. I felt nervous and excited because my phone charge was low, and the streets looked unfamiliar. I felt a little scared because it was getting late and there were fewer people around. To find my way, I approached a shopkeeper and explained my situation. He kindly gave me directions and suggested a shorter route from his shop.
