All road trips begin with a vision…which one of your friends has. You meet up with your gang and random destinations are thrown around. Next day, a Whatsapp group springs to life and everything takes a serious turn. The car you guys will rent is decided as well. ‘It’s finally happening!’ you keep thinking to yourself. ‘The whole bunch together on the road…amazing!’
And there end 99% of all trips. That is perhaps the saddest reality of life. The next thing you do is look for reasons, and it’s always a slight variation of ‘a friend can’t make it because of something, so we all decided to chuck it!’. Here’s how it’s better phrased:
- ‘Bhai ditched us at the last moment!’
There’s always that one friend who acts the most eager when plans are made and vanishes on the D-day! Sigh!

That is sad indeed. But wait…does he even have a dog?
- ‘Damn! We’re all broke!’
Oops! Your friends’ savings slipped away while they were still figuring out how to say no to weekend parties.
- ‘His parents are in town this weekend, want a bit of sightseeing, and won’t take no for an answer!’
