1. The “Bhai Iss Saal Pakka” Phase 🤩
It starts in December. Someone says “New Year Goa mein manayenge!” Everyone gets excited. WhatsApp group created: “Goa 2026 🍻”.
2. The Budget Calculation 💸
“Flight is too expensive, train se chalte hain.” Then someone says, “Hotel ka budget 2000 per night.” Then someone checks their bank balance…
3. The “Mummy Nahi Maan Rahi” Excuse 🙄
The classic dropout. One friend suddenly remembers they have strict parents. “Yaar, mummy keh rahi hai shadi hai relative ki.” (Lie. Pure lie.)
4. The Group Chat Silence 🦗
January comes. You ask “Tickets book karein?”
Seen by all.
No replies.
Just tumbleweeds blowing in the chat.
5. The Lonavala Reality 🚗
Finally, 3 people remain. You end up going to Lonavala or Alibaug for 1 day. You post a story: “Wanderlust ✨” but inside you know… it’s not Goa.
