What Not to do on Trips

Recently I went on a trip to Mumbai for over a week. I had a friend with me a few other people in the group. So the company you have might play a very important role in how your trip goes. So this friend of mine along with one other girl took the luggage and we settled in one of the hostel rooms. There were total 22 girls and total 4 rooms were given to us, so we had to adjust a lot. We had this advantage that my friend was such a bully that no one wanted to share the room with us. So we 3 people comfortably rested in our room while in some rooms 9 people had to adjust. But never mind.

This trip was long waited and I wanted to make the most out of it. But on the first the first day itself I lost my booklet for the fest, which was kind of passport for the campus and tickets to the concert. Say, the only thing we had to keep most safely with us. This was not a shock as I had lost my pendrive and 4k rupees in my Kolkata trip. I expect such kind of things always. Pretty glad I didn't loose any money this time, felt like trauma for some time. Last year I lost 8k rupees in total. So I thought this could be kind of new year resolution, but I have no control over it.

Moving on, I wanted to visit so many places, I had a list prepared. But as I said company plays an important role I had to go where the group wanted. Maybe we should have planned and synchronized our respective lists! But we had fun anyways, maybe sometimes unplanned things are the best( not every time XD).

Then in the rest of trip, I was with my flatmates. We traveled in local trains, buses, cabs, everything economical yet comfortable. We planned to visit Delhi next time as it is connected by metros which makes traveling more convenient. Totally unexpected things started happening when we reached Lonavla. We had new friends who took us to the most beautiful places one could visit there.

Driving any moped in hill stations is itself a thrilling experience. So that's how I enjoyed this trip, all sober! When I lived in Nainital I was a small kid. Visiting Lonavla made me want to live in the hills again. Cause now we can visit a place and feel the ambience, absorb it.

P.s.- If you can drive in the hills without falling, declare yourself a pro!
