“It truly feels like Prayag called me. Because I had no idea or plans made initially, I was busy working, and then one thing led to another. I booked my flights, stay n got a backpack n here I was. Searching routes amidst millions. My dad happily hopping on to all my last min plans, but this was truly once in many lifetimes, so no questions asked. An experience & a memory etched for a lifetime.”
