And now it was time to pack our bags and head towards Delhi to start our trip to Uttarakhand. There were 12 of us- I, Praveen, Shaggy, Bhruguraj, Mandy, Ravi, Garvit, Ankush, Snakkey, Chintu, Rohil and Sahil. The rest of unadventurous bhaisaabs prefered to stay back at home. We had planned to go to Nainital, Dehradoon, Mussorie, Badrinath all on a 6-day tour. To add to your knowledge, this was all planned by none other than Shaggy. It was just an incident to testify his mis-management skills.
We boarded the insti-bus to Delhi which was very much in accordance with the IST-Indian Strechable Time and was merely late by 2 hours, not to mention the inconvinience of changing the bus mid-way of our route.
As we reached Delhi, I got sick with the pollution and fell ill.
Chintu and Mandy went to their respective homes while the rest of us went to Ankush's home where we had some finger-licking feast.
It was now time to be in the train to Nainital.
And the rest of tour went like this:-
- Our tickets were RAC and so a single seat was to be shared by two. Ravi Anand Srivastava shared the berth with me and regretted doing so for the whole journey as I drifted in sleep and occupied the seat with my long legs. He went roaming around others' seats.
- Chintu stayed back at home and joined us after a day of our stay in Nainital.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- We hired a bus for a trip to Almora, Kausani, Ranikhet, etc. .
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- Then we went to Haridwar which was a 10 hour journey from Ranikhet.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- Took a dip in Ganga. Went to a temple at some height to offer our prayers. Hired an auto for Hrishikesh.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- Meanwhile Mandy borrowed a pair of socks from me. And now this was my turn to regret doing so because a piece of a pig's shit smells better than Mandy's feet.
- Rented three good hotel rooms. Booked a river rafting ride. Garvit fell ill and could not join. Stayed back at his room.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- Started the ride. Enjoyed some roller-coasters in the chilled Ganga water.
- Stopped at a place for cliff-jumping. Snakey's face turned red.
- Snakey refused to jump down the cliff.
- I made a brave, almost perfect dive.
- Others too made a commendable effort.
- Went back to the room.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- Then we headed towards Mussorie.
- Rented three rooms there also. Strolled down the Mall Road. Garvit was still taking a nap in his room.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip.
- It was dark. Shaggy wore sunglasses and posed in front of the camera.
- Mandy was still using my socks.
- The next day we went to Kempty Falls. I and Garvit prefered to stay dry while the others took a dip and posed nude.
- We went to Dehradoon from where we had to board our train back to Delhi. It was 9 in the dark. Sahil went to find a room but got kicked everywhere.
- Thus we had to pass our night at the Railway Station itself.
- Shaggy saved toffees for the trip and Mandy was still in my Socks.
- Morning 5- To our surprise the train was on time and so were we.
- All of us got our share of toffees and I got my socks too.
- Noon- Back to Ankush's home where all parted their ways.
- HAPPY ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! except for one thing- pKs stayed back at IIT thereafter.
