I found this interesting study on Indians getting lost and how people in different cities cite different reasons for it.The first point is worth contemplating for all Indians!
Indians, along with Brazilians, are most likely to get "completely lost" abroad, a fascinating survey by Nokia in 13 countries on people's sense of direction and navigational habits, has found.
Other interesting India specific findings include:
Indians most likely to miss a birth of their child
New Delhi is among the easiest city across the world for tourists to navigate around
Indians love of shopping seems to help them with their sense of direction. More than one in ten use local shops as a point of reference to help guide others to their destination
One in ten Indians confessed to missing a wedding because they got lost more than double the global average
Indians are the most trusting when giving directions, with less than a quarter (23%) admitting to deliberately sending strangers the wrong way
One in ten (10%) people who live in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Pune will miss a job interview
People living in Mumbai are the "most stubborn" in India, with one in ten (10%) never asking directions from a stranger
Homely residents in Delhi and Ahmedabad are the least likely to get lost when in their own city (2%)
A third (30%) of residents in Kolkata blame tiredness as the cause for getting lost
Residents in Chennai get lost the most when at home (11%)
In Bengaluru, people prefer to put faith in nature, as nearly one in ten (7%)guide themselves by the stars
In Hyderabad, nearly one in ten (8 %), double the national average, believe in science and think that a sense of direction was genetic
