The Plan

No, it is not a movie review...It is actually the extensive plans i had made for my vacations. Started of with plans to West Bengal. I must say that the place holds a very special place in my heart. After all i am a bengali by birth...ahem i meant place of birth. Having heard a lot about the place from mom and dad which include their childhood stories, how golguppas and jaalmoodi were the staple food when young and after having seen my baby photos there, it was like an all-time wish for me to visit my birth land again. I have always told that i would want to go see our house there and roam around all those places of which only stories i remember. I wanted to enjoy the real sandes and wanted to enjoy shopping in the Great Market which amma so lovingly describes as street-shopping is like heaven with her for i just need to chose what i want and she gets it for me in the price she wants. What do i have to complain about at the end of the day- i propose and mom disposes. So when we were looking for a place to go, it was just an obvious choice for me to suggest WB, or rather i suggested Kolkata along with a tour of the north-east. Then comes the real problem that the tour is on just for a week because Varun had only a weeks time before leaving. So that idea was dropped.

Then my cousin came up with this idea of going abroad with Varun seconding the idea. But here again there was a problem. Since i had turned 18 my passport had expired and i had to renew them, something i had put off for the end of my vacations. Never thought that me becoming an adult was going to be such a big problem! After a lot of discussions we decided to drop that idea and decided to settle for a small trip this year with the promise of an awesome tour abroad to a place (or places ;)) of my choice next year.

So after a lot of planning, deciding and vetoing we finally decided on Madurai- Kodaikanal -Pondicherry. Well in the end all that i can say was that did not prove to be the final destinations.
