New Delhi, Jan. 25 -- A Bangalore-based IITian couple planned a weekend getaway. However, along with them, many people planned short trips as India enjoyed a long weekend with Saturday, Sunday and Republic Day on Monday.

Reshma Bhagat and Prabhat Kumar posted a short video of themselves standing by the roadside with their bags. They looked ready to travel. The happy visuals made the viewers anticipate scenic vacation videos.
