Keeping our tradition of Ctrl-C Ctrl-V alive, I will start with borrowing the first line from one of our frens story telling ways.
Once upon a time we went to GOA.........
Beach DAY
It was a 2-day trip. We had started on Friday night. Spent the Saturday on Calangute beach. A laid back fun filled day. Experienced some water sports too; bike riding on the waves, though missed para sailing because of off-season. Enjoyed the beach by playing in water, drowning the ones who were scared of it, some of us got ourselves tatooed, we discovered a mermaid too (in pic). A truly GOAn (there's no better word to describe it) experience.
The SATURDAY NIGHT ;-)
If the day was laid back experience the night wasn't to be. No, we didn't go into any club/pub/disco etc. But instead watched INDIA-AUSTRALIA T-20 World cup semi-final match in our hotel room. Everybody fitted into one room to watch the match. Each ball was commented upon, every shot was cheered and emotions/advice were flowing from each one of us with some of us overdoing it the SREESANTH way. ( 8-| Specky smiley). It all paid in the end when India won the match. I bet nobody in the world would have enjoyed the match and celebrated the win as we did.
A dig into history
The Sunday was going to be even more eventful. We started off with a visit to a famous church in GOA and then to the Archaeological Museum just in front of the church. Both the monuments are reminiscent of GOAn culture and architecture.
JOSHiley
Then while going for lunch we saw the church shown in the movie JOSH. We were "joshed" up too :-); stopped there. And took some shots(took pics only :P). It was nice little fun with Habeeb standing posing in the middle of the road to take a pic of rest of us who had formed a V on the footsteps of the church. The passers-by were gazing and were amused to see what we were up to.
It's F1 Season Dear
After lunch, we went for GO-CARTING. Another 3-4 hours of fultoo fun highlighted by Beena and Jitha's S......................................L.........................O..................................W driving, Habeebs crash with Amit and Ruby, exhibition of great driving skills by Shweta by not allowing Fahad and Avin to overtake her. The most exciting phase came when it started raining whilst some of us were giving the race track a second try. The cars started skidding; I crashed twice. It was like a godsend rain which made our experience much more fun than we would have imagined. It was pure luck which made us experience both dry and wet driving F1 ;-) conditions.
Pirates on the Ship
It was evening by now and the rain wasn't showing any signs of stopping. We were a bit apprehensive about our final target; the CRUISE might get spoiled. But it wasn't to be as God was planning things well. The rain stopped right in time for us to board the CRUISE. We all were pumped up by now because of the excitement and the fun we had till then and that extra energy was spilled to the hilt on the CRUISE. Our group was the center of attraction on the Cruise, first because of Habeeb's antics(ok dance) on the stage, then the wonderful dance display by Avin,Shweta,Habeeb and Beena and finally some energetic and to some extent wild dance by rest of us. This iTunes team was making people dance to their tunes. We were certainly CRUISING...
The last supper
It was a fitting end to a wonderful wonderful dream like trip. Had our last supper (of the trip) and moved back towards Mangy. But those 2 days will always be part of our happier memories.
