The week that was ................

Last sat...Reached GOA (thanks to Anand bearing the yes and No from me…and arranging the stay), landed at Ronil resort. Got fresh soon and all set to get outt!!! Our first spot was Baga beach, just 5 mins walk from our hotel, thatz what our Goa Guide Mr Ruzan said (took 15 mins though). Debs and Anand cudnt stop playing with the ball on the way (American Football FYI) The guys swam a lot there and dragged Anand into the water since he wanted to go back to the hotel all dry. Seeing the incident Krishna decided to plunge in himself. Debashish also managed to get 2 dead snakes and fish out of water and kept chasing us with it.

Lunch time was the awesome food....prwans,shark,fish,squids,chicken,crabs (I dint eat them...i had the opportunity to see all the non veg guys freaking on it...including our diet conscious fellow..all his diet went for a toss), the lunch would last for minimum 2 hours, Later in the evening we went to TITOs/MAMBOs where the mocktails (especially the names) were good, and then the dance. During the day Ruzan almost broke his right arm ()thatz what he said) while chasing debs at Baga beach (wonder why he was doing that though ;)) and then had to hold the right arm everytime he had to sip his drink. Guys, That was a new dance step for all of us at TIITO’s:)))))))) We then sat on the beach at 1:30, looking at the lighthouse(will visit it in my next GOA trip).

Day 2 had a little late start with KINGSIZE breakfast, then hired the Gypsy and started towards South GOA. Clear weather......no pollution no traffic signals...great gypsy whose horn hardly worked when needed..no mirrors..rather not a single glass with the gypsy...good gears(somebody actually drove it on 4wd and used the normal gears..it took a while to figure it out )), the great beaches. It was fun driving the open gypsy..gave me a convertible feeling, though my friends say the guys driving behind us, kept a safe distance of atleast 50 mts from us when I drove, but I don’t believe them .

Rest of the day was more of sightseeing. We got very good pictures , the digital camera does extend the photography skills. So Krishna and me grabbed Anand’s camera along with the regular SLR. Night time, there was party in the hotel itself. We all got into the Jhaango shirts we bought for the night and sat there watching people doing ‘Latin Dance’.
Late night debs and Ruzan insisted to go to Calangute beach...where they started talking spooky stuff which kinda scared me and they had a gala time laughing at my expense. I feel sorry for Puja though coz my shout in sleep must’ve scared her at night(I realized my throat hurt at night..so I wonder how loud it was) sorry puja.

Day 3, the last day… saddy saddy look on everyone. We spend most of the time stopping the car by the new IDEA billoards and ruzan posing there for the pics. Kept driving towards Margoa, figuring out where the Dolphins were... landed at Majorda... cool beach with white sand and no Dolphins and no pther humans too:((((((((( returned back from there to Baga... had the best lunch ever there for like 2 hours... got ready soon and sat in the bus to reach office on Tuesday morning all tired and tanned.

We had a visitor from Palo Alto office so there was a meet and there were plans floating for an outing just so that people get a chance to know each other. So Saturday we all went to ‘Lohgarh’, 6 cars catching up with each other reached the foot of Lohgarh. I trekked or should I say strolled for a small distance where I got a beautiful waterfall and I stayed back to let others conquer the fort. Sitting besides the waterfall, all alone amidst nature reading the novel and watching and clicking butterflies was fun and very relaxing. The conquerors returned and we had ‘Faqruddin’s Biryani’ (just to people who don’t know ….he serves the best biryani veg as well as non veg in Pune) and some delicious ‘Chitale’ sweets.

Sunday was meet time with my selectican friends again. Zee had invited us for birthday dinner. We got a chance to meet her parents her school/college friends and the gang again. It was fun.She had 3 cakes to cut and we had them to eat

That was my week……. Filled with loads of fun, masti, calories and memories.

P.S: I started drinking…………….port wine got back 2 bottles home from Goa.
