◾️ Anika Trivedi ◾️
"Travelling the world is the only goal we dream now. We want to travel with friends just like zindagi naa milegi dubara, a glass of beer and chilling with your besties, teasing and fooling around like never before.
We want to travel with siblings sharing family jokes, laughing on how hard you guys fighted in childhood, rejoicing old memories. Goof up with oldies in your sibling gang, prank them and laugh till your jaw hurts.
We want to travel with our parents, show them the world holding hands just like they did, fill their passports with stamps, Be the ideal child and fulfill their dreams.
We want to travel alone, discovering the world along with yourself, making random friends, chatting with unknown people to learn their story, making memories which you will rekindle years after.
One trip was such where I went .........."
Oh bete ki !! Anika you never travelled ?!! Like the travel wala travel !!... I always travelled with mama-dada to some melodramatic weddings or some old historical place they wanted to awe over.
Gosh!! How come I never realized this!! I can't believe that in 26 years of living and 1 month of blogging I never TRAVELLED with the intention of exploring.
Shame on you Anika!! You are writing a travel blog for such a big company without having any experience to write. Just Great." Anika boss is calling you in her cabin "
" OK I'll be there
This is the most scariest summon I have ever had from the Oueen herself. Can I just complete my last wish before I go in?!
Anika entered the devils cave to witness The Shweta Bose sitting calmly. This was the calm before the storm.
" hey shweta, you called for me?! " Anika said showing her 32 teeth.
" Yeah sit, Anika as you know the blog you are working on is extremely important to our company. I had hired you for this project because I trusted you with this. And I hope I still can. I just wanted to remind you that the deadline for the project is a month away and I want you to give your best as I don't have any other reason to keep you in this company. Hope you understand" shweta said sweetening her tone in the end.
Basically if I don't complete this blog I am jobless. Muttering a lifeless OK I got out of the cabin. Just after settling down I got a message from my landlady saying if I don't pay her rent soon I might have to leave the house. Lovely!! Job is on stake, I am nearly homeless, Month end is near and I suddenly realize that I don't have any travel experiences to write my blog . What a life Anika !!

Anika reached home after a long day and directly went to her room and plomped on the bed ready to take her beauty sleep when her phone started buzzing with notifications reminding her of her messed up social life. In the age she thought she would party and date she was too busy to even chat with her friends. The work she once loved was becoming a burden now. Her life was being crumpled in keeping up. The once socially active girl has never seen her instagram now. Her facebook account must have rust now as it was untouched for a long time now.
Anika had just picked up her phone to check when....
" Hola roomie!!! How was your day?! Wait let me guess isn't this your ' I am broke look '. " gauri laughed mimicking Anika.
" Shut up ri " Anika said shoving her head deep in her pillow.
" Acha listen na!! Guess what I am going on a trip with Om and his brothers andIwantyoutocome "
" Wait a min say it again " Anika replied narrowing her eyes on gauri.
" I said I want you to come with me " gauri replied giving a cheesy smile with wide puppy eyes.
" No !! Not at all, I am not falling for these tactics ri "
" But ani How can I go alone with three lads!! You know Mom will kill me!! Even though Om is my boyfriend and the lads are his brothers "
" What's the use of me coming ri ?! What's my benefit ?! And anyway I have this really important travel blog to write an... "
" That's great you can write and blog there right !! You can even FINALLY meet Om and ru and SHIVAAY bhayya " gauri said jumping on the bed finally finding a reason to take me.
She is such a cutie. Falling for her must be a piece of cake for Om. Sometimes I think what would I be without her. Antique piece she is.
" Hmm.. That's true but i hope this isn't another try to play cupid and match me with shivaay..."
" Nooo !!! Not at all!! Do you think this innocent face will do this?! Look at me!! "
" Well you see I don't trust you in this case as I know that you have a scheming brain when you are a couple shipper " I said giving a smack on her brain.
" ouchh aniii!! It hurts!! Anyways shivaay bhayya is coming because we forced him to take a break from his hectic schedule "
Hectic schedule!?! Am I sitting free?! As if he is the only busy person in the world !! Does someone needs to tell him to take a break ?! Of course after all he is The SSO. Sab alag hai iss bande ka.
"So you are coming and that's final miss Anika !!! Start packing your bags !! " gauri ordered reminding me of my boss and messed up life.
" And stop rolling your eyes and cribbing over life. I want my old cheerful Anika back before the trip You have 2 days to get your shit together Miss Anika Trivedi " gauri said planking a cushion on my damn face.
" Just Anika , Khidkitod Anika is back babe !! And you just started a war " I replied showering her with pillows.
After having a pillow war both of them fell on the bed giggling and laughing. Well that's what happens when two girls meet.
" Where are we going by the way ri?! " Anika said muffling her laughs.
"The Mighty Himalayas for a TREK "
Here we come Himalayas. Be ready to handle me.◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️◾️
