Trust your gut. It knows what your head hasn't yet figured out - Source Unknown
I hadn't ever rebuked my instinct so blatantly as I did a few weeks ago. I am still trying to organize my thoughts so that I can paint the whole scene up here.
I did this in Sydney, an evening prior to my scheduled return to India, while I was on a business trip with a colleague. We met outside our hotel at around 8:45 pm in the evening, all set to visit The Star, the second largest casino in Australia. When I reached downstairs, my colleague reminded me of carrying along my identity proof i.e. the passport. I had forgotten to bring it along, so I rushed back to the room to get it. While I was back in the lift heading downstairs, a strange thought popped up in my mind "What if I lose my passport while I am here(in Sydney)?". Before I could answer the question, I had already reached level 0.
As soon as I stepped out, I realized I was not carrying my bag, just had the money in my pocket and the passport in my hand. As it was just a 5-10 mins walk, I asked my colleague if he can keep my passport along with his own. He agreed. Now this is really strange, that right after the moment I handed it over to him, I again got the same feeling, that I had while I was in the elevator. For once I thought of asking him to give it back to me but it did sound really rude to my own self and I could not think of a reason for asking it back. So, I dejected my instinct.

Mukta,
Very interesting! You are keen observer, do very good analysis and learn from that. Waiting for part 2 of this article. It's good that ultimately you got the new passport in minimum time. Please provide also experience of that process. I am sure you are feeling sense of accomplishment and happiness which comes along with it.
