b#@!$@@bs on Roaming-Part 1

It was 11th May, 2007 and off we were with the Computer Programming I Comprehensive Examination scam. Thanks to Praveen's exceptional coding skills and his super-heroic execution of planned events that some of our friends got a grade better than what they actually deserved. Though the mastermind himself ( that is I ) could not benefit from the plan.

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.

@Yash- Hann kuch usi type ka hai.
Trip par humne toffees kharidi. Aur shaggy ko pakda di rakhne ke liye. Par jab bhi koi shaggy se toffees mangta to Shaggy kehta ki toffees trip ke liye hain bhi ke liye nahi.
