Sleep did help with the uneasy feeling last night. But it wasn't fully gone. I fetched my phone and sent a text to the group,

Me: Guy! All ready?

Ramya: No dude. Still confused about what to pack and what to leave.

Me: Same here. I've to still make a list and go accordingly or else I'm 100% sure I'll miss something.

Shreya: Once you are done making the list share it on the group.

Me: Why?

Shreya: So we can also check. I'm too lazy to make a list so, I'll check yours and add extra if I want.

Sahana: Wow! So amazing!

Shreya: Thank you! It's a good idea, right?

Sahana: I was sarcastic but it is a good idea.

Me: OK fine.

Keeping my phone aside I started to make the list. The trip was in just 3 days and I had no idea what to pack, which suitcase to carry, my medicines to stock, OH GOD! There's so much to do.

Surprisingly, the list didn't take long to come along. Which made me doubt if I'd added everything. After double-checking the list twice, I sent it to the group and began to start keeping stuff aside as per my list.

Time skip.

After putting all the things needed aside in the spare room, I looked at the clock. I took 45 minutes sorting everything. Wow!

I video-called Mom to show her everything I've kept aside and to ask if I've missed anything.

"Ma, this is for the flight. This is the saree I'm wearing for the dinner at Oberoi Udaivilas..."

(Oh yes! We got a reservation in Oberoi Udaivilas and not Taj Lake Palace - a small relief for me, that dream of mine was on repeat)

"... this is for the safari, this is a spare..."

And I went on showing her everything.

"Anything I missed?" I asked, hoping she would point out something. And she did.

"You haven't kept the petticoat for the saree."

"See I forgot such an important thing. Wait, I'll go get it."

I ran to her room and got the satin petticoat.

"Anything else?" I asked, ready to go get it.

"No! Everything else is there. Even if you miss out on basic things it is ok. You will get it there. Don't worry." She said assuring me.

I nodded in confirmation.

"What else ma? When are you coming back?" I asked continuing the conversation.
