    As we have no riding today, we get up at our own will. In fact, we got up only because there were butterflies inside our stomachs. But soon, the owner (of the room) came and informed (rather threatened) us that since we were 3 people more in the room, we would have to pay 1000 bucks extra per person per night of stay, which we agreed (to pay him back in the same tone later). So after an hour long session of grooming, we start our search for decent places around. Instead of finding a good place, to have the breakfast, we stumble into a person who has accommodation VACANT










    mean while, antz orders some biryani to fillup the vacant table... siezing the oppurtunity, i click some pics...



    and one more when anup s resting and not happy at me at the cam...



    While we (at the hotel) are having our rounds of the golden fluid, we discuss all sorts of mindless stuff. Soon, Alankar and Satyen get enough of getting laid. So they join us. Soon, the beach is filled with party animals of sorts









    Then, the man inside me wokeup and started clicking on excuseses of hot chicks.



    And this....





    Soon (after precisely 1 minute, 25 seconds), the Chicken Biryani was finished! Just to have an idea of how fast we were, I have to put some geeky numbers, A group of piranhas (the fastest eaters on the planet) take about 8 mins to eat a similar sized chicken.but, we had chicken with biryani , 1 min, 5 seconds flat! Now, if you noticed, had chicken biryani, yup, I had joined PETA gang (for the time being that is). Yeah, I know that i am gonna be comdemned to hell for this by my "gonna be gf", and that the rest of the life is gonna be haunted with "you did not keep your promise but. whocares when there is a chicken lying arround.... Soon, prawns followed,



































    So we tried our level best to understand the intricacies of photography.




    but before i continue, there was an angle having food (amidst our rantings, firangi music) , and satyen captured her in the cam... she was so engrossed, that she did not notice satyen clicking a pic...



    Soon, we realized that it was getting dark and we had to return to our rooms and it dawned upon me that we had to leave this place behind. The last few moments of daylight of 2010 were the moments that I will never forget. I had the best moments of my life with 5 unknown people. All I knew was we had just one thing in common. The spirit of biking. We had all sorts of bikes from the common ore 150 cc hunk to the 160 cc RTR to the 160 cc r15 to the fastest Indian 220 cc pulsar.








    There were some more pathetic excuses of pics by me but i will skip them for the last part of the log.





    After all this drama was over, we return to our places. Soon I realize that something was cooking. Actually quite literally, something was indeed cooking. It was my birthday cake..








    More to follow... we float in the sea, some one gets high on sauce, we have lots of bums, and I summarise my stay in goa

            He he... You are right antz had called for it... But it was a good gyan session.. ..

            i have the hideous video to prove this.... Lol... The only problem is that in the video, only the sound was recorded cos a dumba$$ called rockrz, fingered over the camera.

            Sachin was high on sauce but the effects were seen the next day.... Hence i skipped that part for this day.....

                        Living the dream & later returning to Sanity - 1st JAN 2011 - AKA - Day 3

                        A normal day in my life is filled with infinite snoozing of the alarm, followed by my mom kicking me out of the bed. This is generally followed by me brushing my teeth half asleep, and then the normal daily chores follow. This day is no different except for the large shot of excitement that has been carried on from the night before. So, I get up at around 10.00. This is followed by my daily job of kicking up the other lazy asses (that includes mine) after hour long sessions of snoozes. Soon, I wake up the team of burgers (yup you read it right). I somehow drag everyone to the breakfast table (not really cos they dragged themselves out of the bad and then to the table. But no one is gonna challenge me right? So I lied) and soon, we are filled to the brim… If you are imagining the damages, its Just a shade below 1500 bucks. But now, we part ways with another xbhpian. Yup the sad moment arrives when he has to leave for earning his bread. He has been on a tour since the last week. He has roamed the landscapes much earlier than what I had been riding. The very shy and soft spoken guy amongst us has to leave. So, we make it a bit easier for him to continue his journey ahead by insisting for him to have the breakfast with us. Soon, he leaves us, and we walk to our rooms.
                        The hotel where we had the breakfast…


                        One thing that I have not mentioned is that we had the rooms booked only till today morning. So now, we are also having one more task of finding ourselves a new accommodation. So after we get up, we all decide to shift to a new place that is nearer to the beach and whose owner is not a money hogging fella. Since I am no good at bargaining, Satyen and the Mumbai gang threaten up the owner to surrender one more room to us at the earliest or face the consequences. The poor fella simply gives up and we are now having 2 rooms at 2500 bucks. Not bad. We (I mean everyone except me), got him down to this price from the earlier 2500 per night per room. Here is the pic of the Mumbai gang threatening the owner…
                        Ps: Don’t go by the looks on our faces… Just observe how scared the owner is… (Right side of pic)



                        Btw, this is where we stayed



                        Soon after the threatening session, we decide to try our hand at threatening someone else. Actually, we could not threaten the (earlier) cottage guy so we thought of venting our frustration somewhere else. Lol. So we decided to go to the much talked about butterfly and honeymoon beach. As soon as we reach the beach, we immediately get a boatman ready to take us to the beaches with a group of Sardars. Meanwhile, we get the cold drinks and our food packed so that we can have something to fill our stomach there. Soon, we are off to our voyage on the boat... so the boatman does a couple of corners where we almost get drenched even though we are light-years away from water. Soon, the cams start clicking… I will let the cams say everything for themselves…





                        And finally the best one....



                        Soon, the aliens land on the honeymoon beach and we got off the boat, and rushed to dump our luggage on the shore so that we could get drenched on this hot summer afternoon.. but we had a couple of views waiting for us. like the set of stones which looked like goliath dropped his bums there have a look here…



                        Oops… sorry for that.. this is obviously not the bums of goliath… its this pic…



                        Sorry again because neither is this the pic that Intended… it’s this…



                        Sorry again… but in this pic, Alankar is shaking something after having a gorgeous view of some xl sized bums. Look at his face… oopsie that bum is mine…
                        so enough of all this bum shit pics… we will move on.. here is the actual pic… enjoy the view of the gorgeous Goa’n bum…

                        (my appologies but the pic is not being uploaded. I will put up the pic soon)

                        after having made the but of all pics, we decided to comit suicide here by trying to drown… satyen tried to measure the depth of water so here he goes first…



                        But the water gave away.. too scared to take in the dreaded poojari gang leader…
                        So I tried next….



                        But who would dare to take the “breather pipe ROCkRZZZZZ”? so I was spared…
                        So we threw in Sachin hoping for some luck…



                        Then Antz tried. But, ironically, he said “jai hanuman” and suddenly, he grew in size… infact so much that mountains seemed like small rocks. They can be seen behind him… We had to hire this pic from a local television channel named “Goa BEACH TAK”.




                        Ok! enough of this bluffing here, On the beach, Satyen was showing us some key survival skills like floating in water. I must agree that even though I know swimming very well, I found this more usefull than swimming around(thats because I posess a lazy butt). Its basically better explained by Mr. Satyen, but just to brief you (as i deciphered it), its loosening your body to the extent that you naturally float on water. All you need to do is to keep your nose above the water level. And after a couple of tries, everyone was floating around. We loved it so much that no one wanted to get out of the water to click pics. So here we are without the pics for the most usefull part of this day. but thats because all of us were busy floating around. but anup did manage to get a pic of satyen trying to teach us infants in the waters (gai bhains pani mein).





                        Finally, when everyone had enough of floating around, We had our lunch and then captured some pics… they are as follows.
                        This is us cleaning up the place (after the lunch) by putting our leftovers in a polythene bag and carrying it till the nearest dustbin (on the main shore i.e) ..



                        Soon, the boatman had to leave so we had to pack up.. so all the shutterbugs went mad and started clicking pics. a couple of them are these.









                        and then, Satyen takes a pic that I somehow like a lot… I don’t know what I like in this pic, but stil I love this pic…



                        Soon, the posers inside us woke up and here come the respective pics



                        The true poojary....





                        we get to the Palolem beach courtesy the boatman. On the way, we see a couple of dolphins, we experience the sea with the motorboat shut down. And I get lost. This vast ocean surrounds us. The vast unboundary-ied horizon of unparalled views. Never in my life have I been so calm even after seeing so much water. I am unable to stand straight on the boat but my mind des not want to move away from this place. Finally, after reaching the Palolem beach, we thank the boatman, pay him, and then discover that the actual goan new year celebration is on 1st night i.e today. But we are too tired and have a riding day tomorrow, so we decide to have some rest and head for the room. but this is not before one more final pic



                        Soon, we take shower, Get Refreshed and then head for dinner. Since, we are tired, we decide to check out the hotel just opposite our room. Oh what a mistake… actually, mistake is an understatement… this is aggravated by the fact that we have been having the best of foods for the last 2 days. And hence, we hate the decent food that is being served here… make no mistake; had this been our first day at Goa, we would have probably liked the food. But not after having so good food for the last 2 days. Oh dear, we hate this. Finally, we sum up the bills, we settle the scores with each other, I get reprimanded for riding near to the next rider at corners, and after an hour long session of discussion on next day’s riding plans, we finally call it quits and get to our respective beds.
                        However, none of us is gonna sleep tonight. For some it’s because of the sheer exciting ride tomorrow, but for Alankar, it’s a matter of survival. That’s because he is sleeping besides the bed on the bedding we carried. Wait a minute, if you think that he does not want to sleep on the floor, it’s not the case here. Here, Satyen is sleeping perilously close to the edge of the bed and Alankar has a gorgeous view of his bums. He fears that (god forbid but) if Satyen falls off the bed, he might be made into a squash of flesh and bones. But after staring at satyen’s bums for way too long, he loses intrest and falls asleep.
                        I was wide awake till the midnight. And the reason was I was beginning to realize that this is my last night in Goa, so I might as well make the best of it. For me, Goa was always on the top of the to do list. And the reason was very clear. nice long roads leading to this place, reputation of this place in my mind, beaches and all. But I never imagined Goa to be this beautiful. The whole night, I was re-living the best 3 days of my life. In the flashback, all that I could recall was the pure serenity of this place. As far as I am concerned, the only pic that we clicked and which best describes our stay in Goa is this. A beautiful pic by Satyen…



                        This pic pretty much sums up Goa for me. The vast waters, denoting the calmness of the place. We, the boatmen, a very small group of tourers, having explored a very small bit of the place. The distant ship is our next (wannabe) bike, waiting for us to get onboard, for a new set of challenges. Taking us a step further, a step into what we will recollect as experience in what we will eventually call as the journey of life. The open sky, denoting that only you can limit your achievements, only you can set a limit to what you can achieve, Only you are the restriction to yourself, And the ultimate fusion of you and your destination is what defines your life.
                        The distant horizon is the ultimate destination for us. With every meter moved, it seems to approach us but we know that its still at the very same place where it used to be.
                        The waves are the people we meet. We like some, some, we don’t. But they all contribute in making what we are as a whole. An individual capable of taking on the world as it comes. Ready and prepared for what the world might decide to throw at you. The path unknown, the destination unknown, the people unknown yet a experience so desirable.
                        All that I care about is to close my eyes and feel Goa with eyes closed. And I do it. Oh god, why did I not come here earlier? Why was I unaware of this place? why do people need Sanyas? The better way is to Just come here. All worries start disappearing.

                        Oh dear... oh dear... give me more… please one more time. Give me one more reason to come here again. somewhere amidst these thoughts, I fall asleep. Oh I wish I would never wake up from this dream.
