Road trip-1

This is one of the funniest trips I’ve been on. The day started with my night-out thereby leaving me sleepy and tired. Dad asked me to leave him at the nearby bus-stand. I thought- “Well, that is easy. Then I’ll take my sweet old nap.” Alas!

No bus is available. What should be done? Then a ray of light shines and a bulb lightens up. Idea! I asked dad to ask his driver (in the other city) to come half-way and I’ll travel this half. The motive was to save time. Thus began my journey of an hour that somehow became funny.

Traffic jam was the beginning. Swamping and scrambling I moved through the trucks with my not-so-tiny swift. Finally, it was not possible to do so anymore so dad suggested to take the village road. And I was then passing through villages and roads that can have only one car on them.

Returning was more fun as I was not time bounded. Enjoying the scenery I realised that villages are really fun to travel. Even though, living in them is out of question.

I wish I had a camera that time. It would have been an amazing experience to show. Even though I was sleep-deprived and hunger-stricken. Now it is a memory waiting to be downsized by the brain during memory crunch.
