I have one interesting story to tell. My friends were planning something for 2 days saturday and sunday and this is how it all got started. A what's app group was formed, plan was getting shared till friday night ultimately no conclusion. Then i decided to sleep as there was no confirmation on plan. My schedule was straight upright, instead of going to Gym to at 6 i had decided to wake up late and then will go to gym by around 8am.
However my plan got scrambled again by my friends.
They started calling me since 630 am in morning till i picked up the call. Once i picked the call my friends told me plan is still on
be ready by 730 as we were coming to pick you up. I said "Fine". I'll be ready.
I woke up in a hurry, got my stuff ready. Finally 730 am of 16th Nov.19. I was ready with everyhing. No one arrived, no one called. After waiting for half an hour i called my friend ""we were leaving we will be there by 830, okay"" i said fine as plan was still on.
Now it was 830 and then 9 am morning, i was started thinking were these guys playing with me🧐.
I dialled once again and asked them, was anyone planning to make April fool in the month of November, i told April is far enough you could wait for next year, they were laughing like anything and after few slangs and foul words were being shared on call as because of them i missed my Gym once again and still they were not here, finally they convinced me this time ""yes we were on our way to pick you up"".
After a lot back and forth conversation finally 945 am they were here. I feel bit relaxed. I got inside car and teasing each other, finally they told instead of 2 day plan its 1 day short trip now, i said okay. So then they told me we were going to phaltan.
And finally our 130km of journey began.
