road trip 2

Saturday evening. I'm walking down the road, on the phone with my roommate.
"I want to get thrown out of hostel. I hate everyone. I hate everything. F***ing retards. M*****f*****s."
"What happened?"
She is patiently ignoring the swearwords and pretending to be interested. The one day of the week she has leave to spend the night with her boyfriends i call her to whine.
"Somebody stole my watch. My broken watch. I mean seriously, why would you steal a BROKEN little watch?"
"To sell?"
"AAAAAAAAA. Hypothetical question. Anyway, I'm leaving. I hope I get thrown out. I might never come back. Bye"
"Where are you going?"
"To meet school people. YUCK man. Why must I be social. Ok, i've reached the metro see you tomorrow byee."click.

What happened next was unexpected.
We meet.
We politely discuss weather and current events. (How is college? How were exams? How was internship? Is your library open all night?) Yeah that last question was from me.
We bond over bitching about people from school, gossiping about people from school and well u get the idea... school+negativity=very strong bond

So. Next step? Roadtrip. Yay!

We call concerned authorities i.e parents or warden and lie to them. Now we're free.

Let's go to Jaipur. Too far. Nainital. No. Jalandhar. WHY? No. Chandigarh. Ok, let's. Friend says there will be fog.

So we all go to Agra.

Crazy driver who thinks the brakes are a challenge against newton's second law. last moment deceleration and screeeech.
Chai at little roadship dhabas with strings of fairy lights. Peeing in creepy little ceilingless toilets and using quantities of sanitizer.
Sunrise at the Akbar's Tomb in the midst of all of UP's population doing morning exercises. No kidding. They ALL run and do push-ups or yoga.
Then the Taj mahal. Yes picture above. The camera got stolen. That's my crappy cellphone trying it's best. This is the only picture of the trip I have now.
And so one whole day after leaving my creepy hostel without leave I am back. So kill me. :)


p.s- i havent actually posted road trip 1. last week i went to dehradun but i havent got pictures of that yet.

When you're sick of all the yummy pastry try the 'moose' on the menu.
I swear I did not use photoshop.

There are bad bad days. Followed by uhhh days with potential to be good. Ruined by random things like half your hair falling out while applying hairfallcontrol oil.

But yeah. I met two crazy people today. Freshers. Then I told my roommate. And the following conversation ensued in the context of having a party

"Do the new freshers you met drink?"

"I don't know. That's not what I ask people the first time I talk to them. That would be so weird"

"Oh really. What did you talk about today?" (it's like she knows. spooky)

looooooong silence from me.

"We spoke about shit"

victorious chuckle.
