So, fed up by the weather, you decide to go on a trip with your friends. Here's a comprehensive travel advisory
·
Do not spend too much time on planning. Good
plans never materialise and bad plans are all you would make.
·
Never think about going by trains. You will
never find a vacant seat.
·
Do not take girls along. You'll needlessly try
to be the person you are not.
·
Do not travel light. You'll end up crawling up
to your buddy sleeping beside you at night, for the want of body heat.
·
Do not be too smart and fix the rendezvous time
at quarter to an hour. People would always come at quarter past that hour.
·
Always take along someone who you can make fun
of.
·
Make sure your friends do not take you along for
the above reason.
·
Never carry a bottle of water. The sight of
water drives away the thirst.
·
Never carry 100 Rupee notes. Swoosh and they are
gone.
·
Always travel with someone who carries 100 Rupee
notes.
·
Never take along people who have never been on
long road journeys before if you do not want to learn more about peristalsis
and reverse-peristalsis.
·
Never sit in the front seat. You'll miss out on
a lot of gossip taking place behind you.
·
Always take along someone who has an SLR.
·
Be aware of the guy in the group who tries to
come to the center before each click of the camera.
·
Always try to be the guy above.
·
If you can not Photoshop, always wear dark
t-shirts. You do not want your sweaty armpits to ruin your best
photographs.
·
Do not try those silly tricks of appearing to
hold the tip of the Taj Mahal or swallowing the sun. Not only are they old, but
also they seem ridiculously dumb.
·
Always ensure that the photographs are uploaded
by someone who is popular and has a lot of friends on Facebook. This is an easy
and fool-proof way to ensure sufficient likes on the uploads.
·
Never book the hotels online. What they look is
not what you get. And what you get is way costlier than what looks good and
what you do not get.
·
Always go to good restaurants. Your group would
be conscious of the price and would eat less.
·
You can afford to forget your phone charger.
Every second person carries a Samsung these days.
·
If you decide to jump for a ‘I-was-in-the-air-for-a-moment’
pose, make sure your socks complement the colour of your trousers.
·
Do not carry soap bars. You would not need them.
·
Carry paper soaps though. You might need them.
