June 2020 – Figment of boredom and love

If it is not already clear, I love planning trips and am always looking for a chance…Bhavesh’s birthday, trip!! Oh it’s my own Birthday so trip?? ‘I am starting a new job’ trip, ‘there has been no trip for so long’ trip. Here’s to hoping I get to do a ‘OH COVID’s DONE? TRIPPPPPP’!!

Bhavesh’s journey through these trips goes like ‘let’s see…you check everything out first…what’s there to see in that place…office ka leaves check karta hun…okay chalte hain’. That’s exactly how our first ever trip together to Amritsar on his birthday happened. He literally had to just pack his bag and show up at the airport…THAT IS ALL! Entire trip was a gift and a also a surprise. Yet, he took so much time to say yes…I will never get over that. Oh and the harrowing questions about where are we actually going? Does it rain too much there? Is it sunny? Is it hilly? Ugh! He did not know how a surprise works. Must say, he is much better at it now. I’d like to pat myself for that.

So after very many hurdles, he did show up at the airport and snatched the tickets to check where are we headed. But the story really, just starts here. Due to last minute booking, I had only managed a connecting flight with a small layover in Delhi. As amazing as my luck is, our plane kept hovering over Delhi airport due to congestion. It just wouldn’t land. We had a layover so we were okay with some delay, it was when we starting getting closer to the time of our next flight that I started panicking. Oh and our plane started running out of fuel and guess where they landed to get refueled? AMRITSAR!!!!! There was not a person on crew I din request to that they should allow us to land, but no that was not going to happen, so I did what I think was absolutely the need of the hour…CRIED! Oh you wonder what Bhavesh was doing during all of this? Laughing…AT ME! Yep, he is that mean.

Anyway, our plane finally landed in Delhi where we stayed for a night in a hotel and booked another flight to Amritsar for next morning. This time, we ACTUALLY made it to Amritsar and had a lovely stay in the magical city with lots of yummy food. Sharing the snaps of the amazing Golden temple clicked by my very own boy BHAVESH!

Ya, he will never tell or accept that I am his muse so I am just gonna call myself that. I mean, he doesn’t have much choice now anyway!

Like everyone else, I too love to travel to new places too and Bhavesh is an obvious choice for a partner. His idea of travel and mine are distinctive and he says I drag him on my travel expeditions like a suitcase! Hmph. I mean that’s so far from truth, I actually drag him as my personal photographer. ‘Yeah, right’ that’s what will be your reaction when you read this. Am I right or am I right? Swiftly moving on, fun fact time! I am a HUGE critic of my pictures, no matter who clicks them. My pictures are rarely flattering and I just feel awkward about them in general. On the other side, let’s just say Bhavesh is not used to receiving criticism for the pictures he takes and he was flabbergasted that I did not like the photos he clicked of me 🤣. He wanted to know exact details of why is the picture not good, those were some discussions, eh? However, my boy did not let it stop him from clicking me. Documenting moments is fun and I am a sucker for it so I really appreciate when a good scene is captured and even more when I am in it!!

There are some pictures that he has clicked of me which I love extremely and cherish. I never get to posting them, i have no idea why. So this is my way of letting you know that they are appreciated and loved. Umm, I obviously want you to keep clicking them so this is also a bribe. Take, enjoy and report to duty once the pandemic is over 🐒
