Idea passed. Planning begins.

Vicky

I have no idea about the conversation which Alisha had with Jay but the answer was positive, so yay! This trip is happening! There is so much to do. We have to decide the places. Book our tickets. Find the dates and so much more. Google map is proving to be a lot helpful since we have already chosen our chits. All of us got 3 chits. I am really worried since there is one task on the list which is supposed to be completed by only me, since everyone has completed it long ago. The worst part being, I don't know who got that chit. I was hoping that I would get that one and then I would force myself to do a few stunts in front of a mini public but then my luck is just so bad.

Also there was a big argument by me, Alisha and Zara as a team against Myra. In our list, there is a point where we are supposed to spend some time or at least visit a haunted place, and Myra isn't up for it. So we all decided to meet up later and then one of us would take it up as a mission to get all four of us there. And as fate had it, Alisha got that task. So even if I back out at the last moment, Alisha is going to drag my ass to that haunted place, since a tiny part of me is really scared of haunted places. Not those fake haunted houses in the amusement parks but the real haunted places, where real shit has happened, leading to souls lingering in that place, till this day. That's spooky!

Anyways, September is a lovely month. There's rain now and then. The weather is pleasant. And you just feel awesome. And this September is so perfect that our list can be completed in this month. I don't really like September but I just might start liking it.

This month is also the month when my magazine's first issue will be launched. So, for that, I already told my girls that we'll have to take a 3 days pause at Bangalore. So 15th to 17th September, we'll be in Bangalore.

Thus I have managed to find information on marathons and a waterfall which has got sufficient place for all of us to go on the backside of it, and which is also safe. Because this memorable trip is not supposed to kill anyone of us. What I can't find is how to volunteer for a cause. I mean, there is so much to volunteer for but all those have a month full of volunteering, or even more. It has teaching the kids from the municipal school, or having a book drive, or taking care of children in the hospital, and I am willing to do any of these things, but I don't have time to spare. Today is 8th of September and we all have decided to leave on 10th. And we have to be back here a week before she gets married. And Alisha gets married on 11th of November. so our deadline is 5th November. On that day we are supposed to show up in this house for her wedding.

Its gonna be hard and hectic.

Also there is something as 'Learn a new sport' in that list. Knowing a new sport is easy, and can be done in a day or so, but learning a new sport is difficult. And what can be considered as new for all of us? Like I have played table tennis, and badminton and cricket. Zara skates and plays basketball. Myra is again a basket ball player. Alisha plays games which involves least of her physical energy. So any sport if taken in consideration for her to learn will be new to her. But what about us? So whoever has got this one must be really brainstorming for this new 'sport' for all of us.

So the deadline for all of us to decide on the places is over. We all assemble in Alisha's room with our list of places.

"I have Ladakh, and Secundarabad in Hyderabad," Alisha says.

"Every person has 3 things to do, how come you came up with only 2," Myra says.

"I'd like to hear all your places and then I'll see if my third fits in any of your places," she answered.

"Okay, so I have Lakshadweep, Manali and Goa," Zara told.

"Mussorie and Mumbai," Myra says.

"Where's your third?" Alisha asked

"Undecided."

"Okay, so I have, Srirangapatna in Karnataka and Kariya district in Chattisgarh," I tell.

"And where is your third," Alisha asks. She is doing it only because Myra questioned her on her third one.

"I need a little more time. I'll tell you by the night falls," I told her. "So did your third one fit in with our places."

"Well, we'll be going to Bangalore, wouldn't we? I think my third place will be there itself," she tells.

"And what about you Myra," Zara asks.

"Well, my third place is really not needed. I'll fit it somewhere with all of you."

Different places. Many are known, a few unknown. Especially mine. I haven't really been to places which I have chosen but they fit in our priorities. Plus what's a trip for, if you don't get to explore new places? And as far as I know, everyone has sorted everything out. Which means I'll have to decide on the cause which all four of us can volunteer, as soon as possible. Great!
