Up To The Hills

Prayana, like her name suggested, was fond of travelling, and that was the reason why she took Travel and Tourism as her Graduation subject. Finally, after the completion of the course, it was time for her IV. She was excited about it as their journey was to Manali. The whole crew was all set to go, but Prayana’s best friend, Zimraan, informed her that she was not coming for the trip. It was her marriage, and hence her parents were not allowing her to go. Prayana was so upset hearing that. She had huge plans to enjoy the voyage with her best friend. She wanted to make memories for a lifetime with her. Prayana found the urgent need to talk to her parents. She, along with her parents, went to Zimraan’s home. It was hard to convince them, but somehow Prayana won in her endeavour. Zimraan was able to accompany Prayana on the trip. She thanked her and hugged her with happiness. They both went on the trip as planned. They played in the snow, skied together, went Bungee Jumping and trekking. They saw Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani movie together. They enjoyed each other’s company and made some unforgettable memories.

A girl’s dreams and aspirations are not something that should remain unfulfilled. Let her travel around the world and explore various adventures. She also has the right to be happy. Support her in all her ambitions. That’s what this short story of Prayana and Zimraan show to the world.
