Well, our friends were planning to go to Manali for vacation, and they asked me to join them. I agreed because I was free from work at the time and had been very bored at home for a long time. After some time, we learned that Manali was experiencing a natural disaster, like a flood. My friends decided to change the plans. They then proposed going to Jaipur instead. I was very shocked because I had already packed my bag for Manali. Manali has very cold weather, while Jaipur is warm. So, for Manali, winter clothes were needed, but in Jaipur, summer clothes are required. I had to make some changes to my packing to adapt to the new plans.
