10 Things That Happen When You Plan A Trip With Gujarati Friends

Traveling is fun and even more hilarious when it is with your crazy gang. But before you picture yourself enjoying at the Goan beaches or chilling in the Manali hotel room with the serene view of Himalayas, there is a truck load of shit every group member has to go through or makes somebody go through. Here are a few things that surely happen while planning a trip with Gujarati friends.

Following are 10 Things That Happen When You Plan A Trip With Gujarati Friends

1) The headstarter.

So this guy probably is totally free on a regular day unlike everybody and his mind goes "chalo kyaik jaiye". The next step is bombarding the group with texts and pictures of the previous trip and make all of them go "su jalsa krya ta". Mission accomplished everybody is now nostalgic and ready to move.

2) Chalo ahiya jaiye

The moment somebody on the group says "kya javu che" there is a flood of unaccomplished travel desires of everyone ranging from Mars to Adlabs Imagica! This takes up probably the most of the time and is annoying AF!

3) Failed attempts to convince everyone.

Not everybody goes "maru pakku" the moment the plan is being discussed. There are tedious rounds of convincing all the "busy" folks. Making everybody go from "maru pakku nathi" to "ha chal jou chu" is quite a heroic task.

4) Giving dhamki to that one friend.

Just after things are a little sorted and positive there will be this idiot who goes "mane nathi aavu" and the reason will be the most logical one on the planet which is "maaro mood nathi" Are you nuts? This is when the entire group pounces on him/her by giving life threats and abuses. Too much fun!

5) Fight over the budget, hotels, Hotel rooms no colour, blah blah blah!

By this time every person of the group has been searching for cheap packages and hotels but there will also be some brats who will go "mane toh seven star hotel j joiye !" and Lo the war begins which might have some serious effects like  people leaving the whatsapp group! *Grow up*

6) Convincing the girls to come in so that one guy can bring his girlfriend !

You might want to make it an all boys trip but due to this dude who has the most overexcited girlfriend wanting to fit into the group, You have to call upon the girls because "ena mummy papa ekli nai aava de !" Please understand it is a trip and not your honeymoon.

7) Cursing the friend who Ditched and took two others off the plan.

This has to happen. Ek toh aado faatvanoj hoye! When the plan is almost on, this person will ditch with an excuse mostly which you can not argue on, but something more annoying than that is "aa nai aave toh ame pan nai aaviye !" give us a  break !

8) Creating fake accounts  to get discount coupons.

Whether the plan is executed or not but this surely happens, Aaje nai toh kaale coupons kaam laagse ! Everybody is signed up with fake id’s just to save money which will further on be splurged on the most bizarre thing!

9) Tackling "Hu drink nathi karto toh mara ochaa pasia"

The most irritating task is to get the budget into the nut heads who have such enlightening questions. The money saved by not drinking will fetch him a diamond mine for sure. Bhagwaan sadbuddhi aape !

10) Reaching the point of "Aavu hoye toh aavo naitar bhaad ma jao !"

The zone of tolerance is just not going to widen anymore. All the stupidity has made the "planners" pull their hair.  All they got to do is drop the above message and every group member will act like innocent kids and do exactly what they say! Why so much drama then!

Accept the fact that everything that makes up your world is there because you attracted it with your own thoughts. Realize that you can control your thoughts and emotions. There’s no big secret. Just choose to think better feeling thoughts. Listen to your emotions and chose to feel good. You can decide to be in a place of attraction and abundance.
What do you want to do in your life? What makes you tick? What makes you feel awe? Don’t be misled into thinking that you’re supposed to do anything. You are supposed to do only what you chose to do. The world is vast and full of possibilities. Follow your bliss. Get out of your comfort zone. Stop looking for reasons why you can’t and look for reasons why you can.
