I'm very good with directions. I've never made such a big mistake using a navigation app. I have many navigation apps on my mobile phone. I am good at using technology. When I was living in Karachi, which is a very popular city, I had to take a lot of routes to reach my job and university. After COVID, I started working in food delivery and had to rely on these navigation apps. I had never experienced getting lost before. However, when I moved to Islamabad and had been living there for over 3 months, my cousins came to visit my aunt's house, which was 3 kilometers away from my hostel. They insisted I meet them. When I went there on my bike and reached the top of the flyover, I was using a navigation app. I got confused because there were 2 flyovers and an underpass. I forgot the way and had to ask a passerby for directions. They told me to go back and look to my right, where I would find the way. I followed their advice, found the road, and eventually reached my destination. I was late, the distance was only 3 kilometers, but it took me more than 30 minutes to get there. My aunt and cousins called me multiple times, but I couldn't answer, making them very worried. A similar experience happened on my way back when it was raining heavily. I didn't check the map and ended up going in the wrong direction on the highway. I eventually got lost and had to ask a traffic officer for help. They informed me that I was far from my location and advised me to turn back.
