I would like to talk about the loss of my mobile phone at NAD Unieski Karachi. Unfortunately, I lost my newly bought mobile at my hostel. I kept my device charging in the hall of the Unieski hostel. When I came back from the canteen and discovered the loss of my mobile, I was in shock. It was during the first three years of my undergraduate studies in 2017. It was very valuable to me because it contained a lot of personal and professional data. I usually stored apps, and their passwords were saved on that device. It was essential for my studies as well as for connecting with my friends and family. I was living away from home, and I needed to talk with my family and have a chat with them so they could know I was safe. I felt very bad about it, and I was extremely frustrated after losing my device.
