Hello there ! Prem here. I completed bachelors in Information & Technology from one of the Tier-3 colleges in the first half of this year. Currently, I am doing Job in IT company as Software Engineer and have industrial experience of 16 months. This is all about me.

First of all, I take you to the time when i got my phone. After completing my exams of 12th science (aka 10 + 2 / Junior College), I got my phone (I-phone 6- Space grey- 16GB) from my father ( on 10th April 2016, Sunday I guess). This was my first phone means i can put this phone in my pocket for longer span and play games whatever i want. At that time, I am fond of I-phone like others but actually this is not tenacity. Since its 4 years and x months, I am still using that same phone now.

Now I shed some light on what happened to my phone. Its time of Covid crisis and in the time of pandemic, Every country, state and people face severe problems. I was living in Ahmadabad-Gujarat, India and it was lock-down time. We are little bit tense but living life as i was working WFH for company and my father is working for Transport company so that time sometimes he was called by company for work.

One day in Afternoon, we got call from our town (Ladol-Vijapur, Gujarat) that my grand mother died 😢. so at that moment we (means my parents and some relatives) went for our town for funeral & last rites. It was difficult time for our family but problems were not steer clear from us. In the memorial service (બેસણુ / बेस्नु ) of my grand mother, relatives from every nearby towns came and met us. I belong to Rajput family and there, its rituals which were followed from longer time.

After some days, My moti-mummy (Elder mother / Wife of Elder brother of your father) suffered from difficulties. As she is diabetic and BP patient, its usual for her to face this kind of things. but condition become little bit complicated and mota-pappa took her to the hospital. Town hospitals doesn’t have proper technology and instrument so they suggested to move on city side hospital. she is hospitalised by city hospital and take some measures. My moti-mummy tested +ve for Corona. Condition became too critical as his health is also not good and she died in a day. Back to back deaths make us too emotional. We thought that they infected by corona in grand mother’s memorial service. But its our assumptions and we can't do any thing now.

funeral and last rites was done by us and my brother (son of moti-mummy)came to Ahmadabad from Australia in 3–4 days. In the memorial service, as usual relatives from nearby towns came and met us.

At that morning, i put my phone on change in home and sat in compound with brothers and relatives. People from Around 10–12 towns came and sat with us. After some time when i needed my phone for some work and went home to grab it. There was no Phone !! 📱 I searched every where and also tell my mother whether she take it or not. I called in my phone but no one is responding. At last, some one received call but no answer.

Little bit upset but what can i do now ?? Its not mine fault. How can someone steal something in this time. 💢

At that time, i thought about Find My Iphone and take my laptop and search it on google. and i got the location of my phone. Little bit hope !!!!

My Jijaji (Husband of my Sister), Uncle and one Brother (name: mitu) took a car and just tracking the location. After some time Phone was switched off by theft but we almost got that the theft belongs to specific this town (I don’t want to mention name as not everyone in the town is like him/her).

We didn’t get the phone but got the location where we could find my phone. we met the local govt. council of village and person gave a hint as well this person(lady) might be the thief but no one is ready to talk with her as she is criminal minded and use laws / woman card in her on way.

Now we found out the thief but not phone. I lose my hope and i can’t do anything now. I reported in local police station with my mobile bill as i have a proof that my phone was stolen at that time, if wrongdoers use this phone in wrongdoing.

Now the coincidence time, My maternal uncle was also from that town and he also knows that evil woman. He told other people of town that “my nephew was filed complain and IT engineer so he can able to find out phone easily in 1–2 days. He got the location as well. and talked with local govt. of village.” Evil woman frightened by this words and now she got that now i should place this phone in that place where i got my phone. And she placed my phone compound of my maternal uncle. Maternal Uncle called my mother and told her that space grey coloured phone is found from the compound and Is it sonu’s phone?? (sonu, my nick name). And this is how i got my phone back.

Thanks to the everyone who supported me in this time !!!!!! As this present 🎁 is really really important for me.😊
