Sharma 10.0

The staff was amazing! I accidentally left my phone when I was coming from the airport. I asked for help from the night staff member, who is a bit older. He went above and beyond—he called all his connections, helped me get back to the airport, talked to the security, explained the situation, and we even checked the CCTV. In the end, I got my phone back, which was pretty crazy!
