This Retired Couple's Delhi To Kanyakumari Road Trip Is Pure Relationship Goals

Going on a pan-India road trip is a dream of several travel enthusiasts. Now, a retired couple is living this dream and they are sharing their journey with others via social media. The couple embarked on a 52-day long road trip from Delhi to Kanyakumari back in January. For the road trip, they got a campervan that is fitted with a small makeshift kitchenette. Most of the videos shared by the duo involve them documenting the sumptuous meals that they make while on the road. Both of them work together to prepare the meals and take turns to drive.

Recently, one of their Instagram videos went viral with over 15 lakh likes. The video shows the couple making a pit stop at the Aurangabad highway to make their lunch. Despite having a limited set-up, they prepare the nourishing meal of aloo-vadi curry with rice. The man enthusiastically narrates their lunch plans and says, “Aaj apni camper van mein lunch mein bana rahe hain aloo vadi chawal, Aurangabad highway par. Ek imli ke ped ki chhaaon mein, aur kar rahe hain apni life ko enjoy. (Today we are making aalo vadi curry with rice for lunch in our camper van. We have parked under an imli tree and are enjoying ourselves fully."

In the comments, people wrote encouraging comments for the couple. In India, it is rare to see an older couple going on a road trip and prioritising their hobbies. Therefore, this couple sets a unique example of people living their lives to the fullest even after they move to their 50s.

An Instagram user commented, “Finally, at some point, parents are living their lives and making unforgettable memories." Another person wrote, “That’s what all parents need to do! Enjoy life, they’re also living for the first time." Actor Kavita Kaushik, best known for playing Chandramukhi Chautala in SAB TV’s sitcom F.I.R., noted, “Proud of you! Inspiring…more power and love to you both."

Many people mentioned that they see the couple as an aspirational figure for their future. Expressing this sentiment, an Instagram user mentioned, “Future me with my wife in my 50s." Another person asserted, “This is the dream." Someone else stated, “If this isn’t me in 20 years, then I don’t want it."

Even though the couple goes by the name “Retired Punjabi", they have settled in a scenic cottage in Mukteshwar, Uttarakhand.
