As I opened my Chrome browser late in the night yesterday this quote popped up!
“Don't think about what might go wrong, think about what could be right.”
I smiled at it. Providence!
Well, let me tell you the story behind it. So last Friday I submitted all my written work. Nearly 15000 words of writing in 15 days. I won't really say I had slogged it out, but surely worked hard for it. Friday night I met a friend at an Iftar party, and over biriyani, we discussed a road trip that we should do. Since it became late that night, we just slept over the idea. Literally slept over it! Next day morning things fell in place. We decided we will rent a car and do a random trip. A trip to nowhere in particular.
And what two days! If you have not tried driving through the villages and towns of the UK on an English summer, you should. Beauty redefined! Well, beauty defined.
And just before starting we wanted to include one more person. But nobody turned up. Everyone was sleeping after the tiring month I suppose. Few were drunk. And one even said, I can't take an impulsive decision like that.
Well, that is the story of an impulsive decision to drive randomly for two days. 500 miles. Four friends! English summer! Greenery! A brilliant DJ with indie pop and Punjabi folk and razzmatazz Bollywood numbers! And well, a whole lot of intense conversation.
What if I had thought about things going wrong before deciding to drive! Thankfully I didn't. Everything went right. And I will let you decide why it is the right decision by looking at some of these photos.
Looking beyond!
No, we did not climb this cliff!
The only word in the english language I know to describe this is 'wow'!
The partners in crime! If impulsiveness is one.
My wife thinks I'm colour blind. Clearly, I'm not. No?
Did I tell you it was green? All over!
Arundel fort from a distance!
This was what we saw on either side of the road. Serene and green!
The drive!

You got to admire the photographer! I meant GOD!
My driver. He used to be an IAS officer! Wink! Wink
