This picture was taken while we skydived on our adventurous 2 day trip on the 26th January Long weekend. Pretty Cool eh..??
Well I am lying… this was taken at the beach of Harihareshwar on our boring-not so good turned phenomenal trip and this image has been turned upside down!!
Highlights of the trip:
· The oh so Angrez waiter at some roadside shakahari bhojanalya did not know the meaning of Shauchalya but was pretty sure he had a toilet at his restaurant
· A new revolutionary idea was devised where the bike would carry a stove and bhagauna to cater to the undying need of a fellow traveler whose thirst for “Chai” could never be trenched. (I guess he had like a gazillion cups of tea on the way and I also think he appears somewhere in the hall-of fame of Waghbakri chai)
· The first day was spent loathing the decision of having ever thought of the idea of coming here. Next day we found an awesome beach, one look and all our disappointments were gone!
· Riding almost 400 kms on bikes can give you blisters at such places, that won’t allow you to be seated in the same way that you did earlier, again.
Lessons learnt:
· We learnt a lesson that just a few kilometers away from total disappointment lives sheer bliss. (Comparing the beach of Saturday and Sunday)
· The ferry ride from Dighi to Murud gave new meaning to words like turmoil, doldrums, crisis, and other high quality words generally used by economists world over. I guess the boat was swaying on the waves just to remind us of our younger days spent at Appu Ghar on the Columbus ride.
· Throughout the drive back to Mumbai I could deeply empathize with the pain that Saif Ali khan of Dil Chahta hai would have suffered coming back from Goa to Mumbai on a truck. All this while I was thinking of the pillow that awaited me back home.
In all the trip was like a Hindi movie, unhappy moments, hungry moments, moments of excitement, Moments of bliss, Pain in the ass moments and then at the end of it all you reach home, where the pillow awaits you patiently.
