I have encountered various situations in my life where I lost my way. One memory which came into my mind is during our Indian Ship days at Chennai. I was working as an HR 20 over there. I was new to the city. It was the first day of my work. At evening I was very late due to the auditing in the company. Due to the rush I got into a wrong bus from the place of my company to the PG. Due to the language barrier I couldn’t manage to talk with other people also. It was very difficult for me to stay there. After some time I realised that it was a wrong bus which was going to some other route. I managed to get down from the bus. After that I put Google Maps in my phone. I enquired with my friend through phone to know about the proper bus. After that I managed to get into a bus in the late night. Finally I reached my apartment safely. I felt that I had a considerable experience to overcome the struggles which happened in my life. It was my first experience. After that I was able to manage all the difficulties in my life even though we were facing it first time.
