I usually don’t go on road trips purely for joy or fun. Most of my long-distance trips were while traveling from Bangalore to remote villages where my grandparents and other relatives live.

Nowadays, I’ve stopped making those trips on my 2-wheeler and mostly travel by bus instead. But I hope to start those journeys again once I buy a new car.

Before any road trip, the first thing I check is the vehicle condition, tyre pressure, fuel levels, and possible fuel stops along the route. I also make sure all the riding gear is ready before leaving. Keeping some cash beforehand also makes transactions easier during the trip.

And someday, I hope to go on a peaceful road trip with my wife after I get married.
