After a Long period of time we were discussing about a taking a break from our dismay lives. Finally after months of contemplating and failed attempts to convince our friends to tag along , we were Off to the Hills without giving a F**k who came along . The journey began in the middle of the night when i reached a train station and got a bus after snooping around . The bus want exactly a deluxe heaven with the ac leaking water overhead giving us the idea that it was raining and we had already escaped the humid wretched environment of the city.The bus journey was awkward as the head rest was short, making it hard to sleep and the over sized human who sat next to me wasn't exactly comprising on space. So we finally reached mid way at early morning with my friend coming to pick me up at the depot.
We crashed at his home and slept like babies as the bus journey didn't give us a minute of sleep we wanted. In the afternoon we decided to leave for the hills as planned although we were already behind schedule. So we were off ...off to the hills as planned....leaving all our miseries behind and the first thing that came to my mind was
ALCOHOL . Got a couple of beers and a bottle of rum and lucky me, all the driving was to be done by a teetotaler . Drinking the booze the journey seemed a blur but after some time the curvy road did take a toll on my stomach.We made our first stop at a car service station where we met along a couple of friends who had come to get their car serviced. We made it to a place called paragon , which was a nice restaurant. After strolling through the main market for a couple of hours we decided to take off,cause we didn't want to travel in the night.
We set off and the hills kept on throwing us its curious roads at each bend. Finally we reached the forest resort where we had decided to stay for the trip. It had beautiful rooms and unluckily my friend got bit by the dog of forest ranger who he decided to visit. a unlucky start but we somehow managed to get the shots done and my friend decide he didn't want to dampen our spirits so he encouraged us to go to the mall. A couple of drinks at a local pub and we were all feeling alive, which was followed by a nice dinner comprising of chilli paneer and chicken. Tired and wary we decide to crash at the resort.
The next day was a pleasure to wake up to with the amazing weather beckoning us to set foot and enjoy the view at the top of the mountain. The mist was flowing through the hill as a river passing through a rock , giving it a surreal felling of heaven. The next day was also planned to be spent on the mall. After a couple of hours we were all so tired we decided to head back to the resort and pick something on the way to eat. We set ourselves for dinner and binge drinking , a friend of mine who had tagged along gave us the scare of the century when he woke in the middle of the night, sweating and saying these exact word " I Need Medical Help " . Me and my other friend tried to calm him down and told him to go for a walk to beat out the heat he got under the covers.
The next day our friend decided to leave as he wasn't comfortable and his anxiety was building on us. So we decided to visit our old friend and chatted . Then we hit the mall with the same old routine of drinking and eating. This time gin with lemon surprised me as it turned out to be an awesome drink. Realizing our journey was coming to an end we were a little sad but we decided to love for some cheap love but it turned out to be nightmarishly hideous so we were back on the road, and back to the same old routine we dreaded. An escape to the hills gave us a realization of life can be short so Keep it pleasant.
