'Can't travel without clothes! Let's cancel the Trip!!' is what Sandhya said when we boarded the Kanyakumari Express Train and leaving the Luggage carrying "all" clothes in the Car :)
I in my best of optimism and adventurous attitude said, 'Hold on', something would work out.. and the train chugged along....
Earlier that evening, Sandhya even suggested taking a cab instead of driving our car, sighting our return in the early hours of Thursday, I rejected it and took the car..
'Whoa!!' we are about a kilometer and a half from railway station and my Car puffed, I need a break!! I said what??!! You just had one couple of months Ago!! On its insistence, I called guys from its fav hangout these days to come and collect from railway station.. My Car, after a lot of convincing agreed to take us to our destination...
There, I asked two of my lovely ladies to go and board the train and wait for me.. and told will join them with the "Luggage" as soon as our Car is in safe hands..
While saying 'tata' to the car, little did I know that I was wishing the same to our luggage...
The first thing I told Sandhya was to make a list of all the things we need to buy when we chugged along... couple of items did enter the list loudly... rest, my lovely wife typed on Google Keep and showed me.. " ".. ;)
We were sure to get Sihi and my clothes easily.. however, Sandhya.. hmmm... that was tough.. that too for a wedding!! seemed impossible..
Every shop we entered or were about to enter, we first enquired for Sandhya... and after 5 shops... we were lucky to have one.. where we shopped "every" cloth we needed in under Rupees 2300!!!!
Our attire impressed literally everyone at the wedding and they started asking.. Where did you buy such lovely clothes.. how much did they cost... and hearing the answers.. they exclaimed.. let us also buy here.. they are damn cheap!!
Our lost luggage story too had got viral.. HEHE!!
The most eventful family outing we have had till date..
Wishing more such stories to be blessed our way.. :D
