Fluppy: Hey friends! Enjoy before results are declared and have a nice time, as you do not know, whether things would be same afterwards or not. I have already taken a vacation to a nearby hill station.

Cliparti: You never mentioned that, Fluppy.

Fluppy: Don't be so angry, Cliparti, I have just come back today and planning another trip with my family. Actually, my trip was not a holiday trip as I had visited my grandparents. But, now since it’s so hot now, so we are planning to go for a holiday trip.

Windy: Smart guy! So where are you planning to go, Fluppy.

Fluppy: There are many options with me, Windy and I have not yet decided.
