TOTW #6: Road Trip

It's officially summer! The schools and colleges are out for summer vacations and families are planning trips together.

Some people want to travel abroad to explore more countries, while some wish to pull a Dil Dhadakne Do and simply cruise through the waters. But there is one thing that every friend group has planned for this summer...

ROAD TRIPS!

Whether it's the Goa trip that they never get permission for or the Ladakh motorbike journey that someone backs out of, everyone has something filmy planned for the summers. And today we're going to revive that fantasy again.

Imagine this: you're with your friends in a car, windows rolled down, roof off with scorching sun shining in your faces, wind brushing through your hair, and music blaring from the radio as you all sing along in different notes. It's what we all dream of.

And I bet you can already hear the song that you are singing to.

Is it Khaabon Ke Parinday that you thought of?

Or was it Yun Hi Chala Chal?

Or perhaps it was Dil Chahta Hai?

Hmm...maybe it was not a Bollywood song?

Well, these songs are all perfect to start off any road trip, be it with friends or cousins or maybe someone more special.

And with that, I'll start off our trip here with this song without which every road trips would feel empty. Here is Ilahi from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

Now I pass the aux cord to you to play the next song of this trip.

Aqua, just making sure here: Road trip can be anything na? Like a Bullock cart or bus or train or scooter or bicycle or even good old pedestrian? As long as there is a traveller and they’re on a journey to some place? (Boats and air travel excluded!)

Please ye clear kar dena 😳 - what are the mandatory elements in the song?

Is it just Road and Trip?

Yes, it's basically any trip on the road or land 👍🏼

Awesome! And just the lyrics (& not necessarily the visual) can be about travel and road and trip too I’m guessing?

One should always be careful … road trip doesn’t become highway to hell😆

This is one of their greatest hits

KJ, are you in my head? 😲 cos this was the song that first came to my mind for this theme but I thought I’d post something that actually has a visual of a road trip (and I simply love that song from Guide anyway so it’s all good!) What a banger of a song this is! ⭐️

Aqua - IF doesn’t allow more than 3 videos to be embedded in a single post. So your first post in this thread. You might want to only have 3 videos in it… perhaps :). So they get embedded. I realised this happenstance one day wondering why my videos weren’t being embedded 🤣🤣🤣

Not bad 😉 :). Bryan Adams is still ringing in my head. Kya batao how hope he was yaar. So bad I can’t share the darn videos 🥲🥲… Guide was a great choice. A few Hindi songs came to my head as well .. but talking heads was first. 😅

Am sure you gonna go nuts with this next one anyways. Since it’s Beatles ofc and one does need a car for a road trip. 😎😎😎
