I am back

Was away for a long time. I had gone to Goa with the love of my life and some other friends on a holiday. Holidaying and partying with the people you love is definitely the most wonderful thing in the world. And in a place like Goa - well its like we are bang in the middle of paradise with angels singing to us our favourite songs.
I started in a gigantic hurry on Thursday afternoon - had to rush through my classes, which dragged on till 2 p.m, struggle to get a gate pass from our hostel warden - a real AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGH in the worst of times. Then i had to drag my bags (thankfully i had the sense to pack the night b4) till the main gate (a good .6 km) until i got an auto and then i left for the airport. I freshened up, gobbled down a chicken burger and then got into my flight.

The flight was brilliant. It was a light cloudy evening, and I was flying above the blue-green Arabian sea through puffy clouds which were in different shapes (there was one shaped like godzilla with its claws stretched) and the setting sun's rays refracted off them in all directions, making the whole scene a sight for sore eyes. I landed in Goa airport an hour later, and then i took a cab to Baga.

I met him there. All of us freshened up, dressed casually in slacks and then went off to Brittos, which was recommended to us by the hotel manager. We had a great evening there.. we partied hard and had an excellent time.

The next day, much to the great surprise of the manager we were awake by 8 a.m. We ate a hearty breakfast, and after renting a couple of activas, we set out to hit the beaches. The first one, Arambul, was a good 20km away. But the view and the ride was simply awesome. It was like a bursting of greenery, well kept roads, and the glittering sparkling sea in the bright sun dazzled all of us.

At Arambul, we ate at a shack, where the host have us the most exquisite fish curry and fries we had ever tasted. It was spicy, juicy and yummy. We also feasted off chicken and parathas, to finish with tasty masala chai, that was a Goan speciality. We spent some time on the beach clicking pics. But the beach was too dirty for us to venture into the water. Its hard to understand how people can feel like dirtying such beautiful places with food, cans, plastic bags and rubbish. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and people should always remember that no matter how much money u have or how many branded stuff u own, true class shows through your habits. If you are filthy, then no amount of money or godliness can make you a better person.

By now it was burning hot, and I realised that i had forgotten my beloved Lakme sunscreen lotion :( We tried to buy some local brand, applied it and then set off again. this time we visited Vagatora and Anjuna. They were gorgeous, but almost totally ruined by the groups of locals who ll keep pestering you to but accessories or tattoos.

After this tiring day we trudged back to the hotel and snored for about 2 hrs. Then we got ready again and went out to Cape Town Cafe, where we partied and had a great time with foosball and music.

The next day we visited the fort where DCH was filmed. It was a lovely place, but sooooo much exercise to reach the top :( :( Totally exhausted we headed back 2 the hotel again. After completing our packing, we went to the beach and enjoyed the rest of the evening with good food, wine and music.

The next day all of us had to leave early. He and the others came to drop me off at the station. It was a very sad departure, both of us were feeling very sad that our beautiful holiday had come to an end.

And now I am back to the life of exams, classes, ppts, n more ppts :( :( Still.. i guess life goes on. Will be back soon later
