Have you ever sat in front of the laptop and just wondered wish I could just go there and experience how it feels to be in that place? Well, the answer would probably be “YES” I guess. Have you ever wondered why you haven’t? If you think money is the constraint then no, I mean it is a constraint but most of the time it’s what you think; like should I go or not will my parents allow me how will they react.
So, when I wanted to go on vacation to Manali Kasol and one more place I don’t remember right now, it was a bit offsetting for them because for them I'm still one of the youngest sons who can’t do anything without their guidance or watch and I can’t manage things on my own. Soon after when I tried to convince them they were reluctant to let me go, but I already made up my mind that I have to go. And soon after they agreed to the trip, they were ready with THE QUESTIONS 1. have you booked your tickets? 2. Have you booked the hotels? and some other questions, so when I told them I'm going for a backpacking trip and not a luxury trip they were like WHY? And I was like I need this vacation for my sole benefit, I want to relax my mind, enjoy the moment and if between that I have to think about bookings and tickets and other stuff how will enjoy. I'm not saying just go unplanned plan the places that you want to visit on the trip but don’t rigid yourself by preplanned stuff just go with the flow. It was one of my best trips and the only trip to date but then also I loved it.
When I reached Manali I went crazy seeing the ice just like a toddler and my friends were like we don’t know him, this kid is not with us!! Hahahaha lol. My mind was blown and then I decided that once a year I will try my best to go on a trip. But I think God had already made different plans for all of us that’s right all of us with covid-19 pandemic and that was my last trip.
And when I said earlier that I argued with my parents about the trip that doesn’t mean you have to fight with them, in the end, they always want the best in the world for you. I choose to argue because their only concern was how will I manage and I convinced them on that part, first listen to their concern then take any action.
Then I saw this profile on Instagram @avantikaaaaaa_ the idea of trip came only from her profile. When I saw how it feels to pamper yourself with a vacation and to meet new people. She was like that one push that one everyone needs to do something that you want to but not able to find that one kick. And I'm very thankful that her profile crossed my Instagram feed and I took the step. A big thanks to you Avantika Garg.
