(Case study)

Mr. Kumar realized that he had forgotten to take his laptop from train, only
when he got into a taxi from Howra railway station. He had to travel to the
airport from the railway station to catch a flight to Chennai. The flight would
leave in 90 minutes and he had to travel 45 minutes to reach the airport. He was
in a dilemma as he could not miss the flight, but what he would be losing will
be his valuable research work. People gathered around him as he cried out in

duty, who was there among the people while Kumar was complaining about his
lost laptop hours ago. Rai decided to help Kumar to trace out his lost suitcase by
finding out Dina since he felt it was his duty to help Kumar as all these
incidents happened in front of his eyes. He took Kumar to different corners of
the area searching for Dina and complained to their leader about the theft Dina
did to a non-native traveller. All the efforts went in vain as they could not find

Dina even after searching for one hour. Highly demoralized Kumar was about
