Well, first of all, I would love to see that having a map in our phone. It’s really important thing for us. Actually, I don’t usually use math, but when I go to a new place and I find this place, out, or I can do just to go to the things I want this time. I cannot but use meth. So last summer, me and my sister went to Rashi. And this was the first time on you on Rashi because we must have to go there for my uncle, my. So my aunt after going, my uncle, Cindy, are email and, uh, told me about this place, about their direction where we have to go. And then after me and my sister had lost. And, yeah, I just try to stay calm, and my although my sister getting scared, he said he’s gone about car. And I told you, please, be calm. Don’t need to feel afraid. We have to do something. So this might have to just call to my ears and uncles but it was a really hard time. They have no buzz in my phone. And I do not we didn’t find any person who just help just try to help us and anything. And after that, I just, um, you know, unlock my phone, skin, and found a map So this was I must say that I was laughing because a new place, unknown person is really difficult if getting lost and you haven’t to do anything to do, and you have a younger system. So I use this map and put in the location in this phone, and I found my an ankle injection. And that we asked that we just finally we got our uncle house and told everything I our inner uncle and uncle sake. That’s why you didn’t call me? The stimulator, we hadn’t any plans on my phone. So, yeah, this is the lucky times when we used meth.

Well, first of all, I would love to say that having a map on our phone is a really important thing for us. Actually, I don't usually use maps, but when I go to a new place and I find myself lost, or I need to go to specific locations, I cannot help but use a map. So last summer, my sister and I went to Rishikesh. And this was the first time we were in Rishikesh because we had to go there to meet my uncle and aunt. So my aunt gave us directions on where we needed to go. After that, my sister and I got lost. I tried to stay calm, even though my sister was getting scared. She was worried about being lost. I reassured her and told her to stay calm and that we needed to figure out what to do. So I decided to call my uncle, but it was a challenge because there was no signal on my phone. We couldn't find anyone to help us. Eventually, I unlocked my phone, used a map application, and entered the location. I was relieved when we found my uncle's house. We explained everything to him and he jokingly asked why we hadn't called him earlier. It was a lesson learned that having no signal on your phone can be a real challenge when you are in a new place and get lost, especially when you have a younger sibling with you. So using the map was crucial in helping us find our way.
