Goa


There was rain..
The waves were not so inviting like it was last time...
The journey was tirin...
The driver was temperamental...

However, the rain did not last forever, the waves are always better when you take a dip, the journey was much much better than last time at least (we even saw a movie!) :) and I thought I heard the driver rapping by the end of the trip ;)I also learned how to ride a scooty...though a friend of ours had a lil scooty accident :(

The Food was better this time...though your capacity limits, you anyhow find a way to take that 11th last morsel!

Its always so nice just to take a walk in the beach or sit in a shack and stare at the waves...gets you thinkin by default. You kinda think that every wave will encompass all that you feel inside but its still animate...its there and you are standing where you are. I dunno if I am being vain but life is so much bigger than the waves and tides. We feel what we feel and you can never contemplate enough...nonetheless I love the waves...it make you realise your realizations. I had some thinkin to do...thought that by the end of the trip the answers will come clickin but I still dont know what I want or need to do... guess there are no real escapes...we just gotta deal with it....anyhow.

If I had my way I'd move to Goa anyday...anyyyyday! :D

Cant wait for the next trip...

Pre Goa Road Trip

Finally... The road to a dream seems not far...(15 hours by road!) And this dream is going to be an ESCAPE...THIS is the most perfect timing if I ever had one. I got things to think about besides swimmin, romancing the sunset, and drinkin wine ;)
I am but on a Double break!!! :D The beach and the sunset s goin to give me a new lease on life...and course the fact that Goa is the only place in India where you can wear anything without people gawking at you is awesome :)

Goa here I come....again!!!


Ps: Hope everything works out...

Did someone say swimming?

I discovered swimming!
Not that I can glide or dive like my other friends but hey they say that whatever I did IS swimmin ;)

There are so many things in life that you wish you can do or achieve. The list is unendin but the results are always otherwise....I remember in my other blog I wrote about my determination to learn something new and stylish (Salsa!!!) and the usual blah blah about how there are so many things that you wish...

Alas it remained Half- done as many of my other "projects"...
Anyways, coming back to my swimming...I am so proud of myself! Its still half done but I plan to perfect it on our Goa trip which is gonna happen in a week s time frm today :)
So we went to this resort which was like an hour away from the city. After the initial ooh ahhs about the place we jumped right into the water. Like any other day I relegated myself to the safer end of the weird shape pool or watever. My two friends with whom I had gone to Goa the first time...as usual were flaunting their skills while another friend of mine was struggling to learn the 'art'.
An hour pass...my friends almost gives up on me ... suddenly I see my other novice friend. She ackwardly but is swimming and I see that she glides underneath the water. I get inspired and immerse all my body underneath and let loose my friend's hand. Lo and behold I am underneath and moving!!! but I still have a long way to go...
Price paid: Tan

A week after this we plan another trip for a place called water world or something (enthu me!)
And I have never screamed or taken water rides like that since I left college! It was exhilirating...the speed almost gave me a stroke! And then we swim and swim and swim. I am much better :)
I also laugh at my ex-novice friend who is now bent on improving her diving style. What a pout and sight! :D

mmmm am I stupid or a loser to just discover that we can actually open our eyes underneath the water and SEE. I felt like Jack Johnson in his upside down video ...well er I thought that the whole deal was thanks to technology. I tend to blame the wonders of technology for every illogical incomprehension that is on tv! :D
Not stupid but definetely a loser! :D

Price paid: Tanned and how!
