jab hum saath me hote hai tho pagal pan to hota hai..

we started playing games. like antakshari, mobile Ludo, chidiya udd.

some people were staring, some were laughing, some were enjoying our madness.

then we decided to play atlas - were a alphabet will be given and you have to name a place name.

this game got so interesting that the whole coach was playing with us - all uncle and aunties and young girls and boys.

we all had a great time together.
