Pop culture makes you believe that a roadtrip is everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing with a bunch of your friends. It’s liberating, it’s cool and it’s smooth AF. But no-one really says how it turns out to be in India with your ‘Items’, your ‘Bantais’ and your ‘chaddi buddies’. This is what the Indianest Indian roadtrip would be like.

‘Side mein rokh na, chai and sutta petein hain’. *half an hour later*. ‘Chai pee ke time ho gaya hain na, ek aur petein hain’.

‘Playlist has become repetitive, let’s switch on the FM’. *Switches on FM to ‘Blue eyes hypnotise teri kar de hai mainnu’. Switches off life*.
