The moment we hear the word road trip, our excitement shoots through the roof, and rightly so, for this means the days ahead are filled with fun, laughter, food, and friends. There are a few functional aspects to road tripping with friends, e.g., stocking up on fuel, setting the destination on GPS & packing. All of them are essential, but these are hardly the things that you remember a trip for. Below are the 5 things you do on a road trip to make it one sweet memorable ride 😊
1. Playing Antakshari
No road trip is ever complete without an hour of playing Antakshari on the road, two groups singing along to some of the most memorable songs of recent times and our childhood.
2. Retelling old stories
We all have a bunch of those stories that we never get tired of telling time and again. What makes this sweeter is that you have the characters of the story in that very car with you!
3. Looking Outside The Window
This is probably the point at which the group has calmed down after spending a lot of time chatting and laughing. You look outside the window, you see green fields, a dash of sunlight peeking through the trees, animals roaming free, and a straight road ahead. This is a time to self-retrospect and be grateful for the things you have. Soul touching music is a bonus.
4. Playing Old Songs
Like they say, “Old is Gold”, while we enjoy the latest chartbusters of the day, there is nothing like the old melodious songs from our childhood to hum along to while on a road trip. Added advantage: Everyone gets the lyrics right
5. Chai-Breaks
Chai-breaks are essential, what makes them sweeter? The small roadside stalls with a wooden bench to sit, relax, take a break and engage in chatter with your friends, something that we have all lost out on because of our busy, high-tech lives.
