Me: Confirm karo yar Vietnam kab chalna hai?

Tejas: We need a mini trip before that. How does the Delhi-Nepal roadtrip sound?

Me: How about Delhi-Lucknow-Varanasi roadtrip?

Gourab: I have been wanting to do a dhaba hopping roadtrip from Delhi to Amritsar. What say you guys?

Me: Punjab? Although I am a Punjabi who has never been there, I have no interest in visiting that place. It's not my thing. We can eat the same food in Delhi anyway.

Gourab: Chal le na yar please. I really really want to do this.

Tejas: I am in. 

Me: Ughhhh. Ok.

Tejas: I need a photo in a field full of sunflowers. Eshan, you must be knowing where we can find such fields, right?

Eshan: Of course yes. I will even let you drive the damn tractor which we have in our fields.
