The Vinodian problem of 'forgetting'

(Pasting from twitter) 

This is not happening for the first time.

 I was on a phone call talking to my friend, and it was time to get off the bus. I took the backpack but forgot the two small handbags. I realised it in 2-3 mins and the anxiety kicked in. I ran across the premises to find the bus back but in vain. I didn't know the bus number or the name of the conductor/driver. To make it worse, some new bus written "Hisar-Rohtak-Hisar" was leaving or entering every minute. Someone suggested getting help from Ticket Booking Branch on the 1st floor (fortunately I still had the ticket).

The Branch guy searched and concluded it was the conductor Sandeep from Hisar Depot itself (thankfully). Gave me his contact number. It was "out of network coverage". Someone suggested visiting the workshop (Karmshala - a place where the buses are parked after the round or during the night). I did. Visited Yard Room. Yard Manager told me that the bus might have left for Sirsa. Someone in the DI room gave Sandeep's other number. I met an official in Karmshala who listened to my concern and called Sandeep. Turned out, the bus had left for Sirsa and would arrive at Hisar again after 3 hrs. I got to talk to the man himself. He acknowledged my stuff was still there, and no worries, I could get back at ~ 5.30 PM at Hisar Bus Stand. A breath of relief! I reached the village at 9.20PM though... but managed to get my luggage back. 

 I wonder if there's any solution to this "keeps forgetting" problem of mine.

Thanks to the officials, conductor, and the system that keeps records of ticket-no.s and buses.

I wonder if phone use at crucial moments is at the root. Maybe. Yes, once/twice I missed the bus stand while busy with my phone. But I have multiple times forgotten some stuff behind while leaving and not using the phone.
