5 around 5

Team ‘Lame’, that’s what we call ourselves. And 5 out of 7 gang members managed to go on a trip to cover 5 states in India.Aaaaaaaaand ACTION!!

The beauty of the trip was not all about the places we visit, it was the strangers who became our friends.

Each and every place we visited has it own way of teaching the life to the travellers.

I was never a backpacker, my kind of trip would be to escape chaos and this was the same to me untill i realize why people give up jobs to travel.

Travel is a lifestyle, it teaches you to go through shit. Every time in a destination , to experience its beauty we had to go through something tough;it may be long distance walking or walking through gullies or whatever which was not so comfy. Moments cherished would be memories in seconds.

Travelling made me to realize that I’m blessed.Sometimes good company and some food matters it all. We may be broke to hell but that cup of chai and food was always the saviour. Yess!! Food saves your trip. Sometimes we hated the climate and the jam all around but butter roti and butter chicken saved the day.

We were the loudest of all, be it a hostel or restaurant. We killed the ambience. All it was about fun, fun fun.. No politics or religious conversations. It was just “bitchin”,you may have also being a part of our dinner table entertainment : but in a healthier way.

In every bad bus ride, there was always a hand helping you to vomit out, a shoulder to lean and also someone to annoy. Sooner we ‘ll split and go in our own way. Photos clicked will never do the true justice to the enjoyment.

Few years back, all this would be memories which we will share with the rest.It will always be warming to the heart.

Trust me!! Pack your bag and travel with people you love. You’ll never regret that vibe.

You may not get this energy to go on a hike, travel long distances and time to spent. Commitments and Responsibilities will be piled up and only trip that could go would be a weekend getaway to baby sit.
