Where Did I lose My Wallet?

 Where Did I Lose My Wallet?

That morning, I decided to wear a long kurta for a wedding.
It looked elegant, but the pockets were shallow.

I had two wallets — one with cash, another with my essential cards: debit, credit, Aadhaar, voter ID, and licence.
I stood there, shifting things between wallets, thinking about which one to carry.
That little decision somehow stayed at the back of my mind as I left for the event.

During lunch, my phone rang.
It was an important call I had been waiting for - the network had been poor all morning.
I took the call, finished it, and as I slid my phone back into my pocket…
My heart sank.

The wallet with all my cards,  gone!

I checked both pockets again.
Then again.
Then again.
No sign of it.

That familiar panic crept in —
“Did I drop it near the buffet?”
“Did it slip out while sitting?”
“Maybe someone picked it up…”

After lunch, I went back to the hall, retraced my steps, checked under the chair, near the stage - nothing.
Finally, I told one of the hall staff to call me if they found a wallet.

When I reached home, I went straight to my wardrobe, opened the pant I had worn earlier.
And there it was.
The wallet.

Exactly where I had left it.

So, where did I lose my wallet?
Not in the hall.
Not in the crowd.
I lost it in my thoughts.

 

Our mind does that often.
We drift away from what’s actually happening into what might be happening.
And in that gap between reality and thought, peace quietly slips away.

Being in the moment is not just a nice idea - it’s the only way to live fully.

At SuswasaSpace, that’s what we help busy professionals reconnect with -
The calm that’s already there, hidden behind all the overthinking.

Micro-practice:
Next time you switch wallets, take a slow breath.
Feel the fabric, the weight, the moment.
You might just find what your mind tends to lose - your presence.
