Lockdown March 2020

Lockdown March 2020

Day 1

22nd March 2020

So according to some shitty news channel, the doomsday is here, I personally feel that this is just a phase, no doubt the most difficult hurdle mankind has ever come across but this too shall pass.

Officially our so-called quarantine started from 22nd March 2020, when our prime minister Mr. Narender Modi addressed the nation and appealed everyone to stay at home on Sunday, but this was just the trailer picture toh abhi baaki thi mere dost.

I am 26 and in my life, I have never seen my city so calm n silent, it felt like I have entered a movie like 'I am Legend' or something.

Then the clock struck 5 and a miracle happened, everyone was out in their balconies applauding the efforts of the people who were still working in these tough times. Trust me it was such a beautiful experience, I felt so strong that all of us are in this together and I was sure about the fact that now we can fight any demon in this world.

 It was so surreal that I got a little emotional but those emotions took away all my tensions and worries with it

Day 2

23rd March 2020

Today was not a usual Monday morning there was no hustle and bustle in the house, no one was getting late it felt like the clock had stopped working, after dogging a couple of work calls and explaining everyone what the situation was like in Delhi I started my day

During these two days, I was constantly in touch with my close friends and family and all of us had the same question 'Karna Kya hai ab 9 din?. Everyone had different plans but I was kinda sure that I will start writing during this period and here I am documenting my lockdown experience, I know for a fact that this will not be the most interesting thing to read 10 years down the lane ( if the mankind survives this ) but at least I am enjoying it right now, so who cares

  

Day 3

24th March 2020

Into Day 3 of lockdown, it started sinking in that we have to do this for a while now. It was a usual Tuesday morning I got up a bit late around 11 am and started the day with the newspaper but little did I know that this was the last newspaper for the month.

 I was still contemplating the fact that what should I do during these days to keep myself busy, just then I got to know that our Prime Minister is addressing the nation again at 8 PM.

The clock struck 8, and there he was our prime minister announcing a countrywide lockdown for 21 days, as soon as I heard the news I was literally shattered and was just trying to make peace with the fact that we will be locked down for the next 21 days.

Before I could even settle myself my dad told me to get some stock of essential items for the house. The best part about this was I got out of the house even if it was just for minutes.

To my surprise, I did not enjoy going out because there was so much tension in the air; barricades all around the city, I came home and made a pact that for the next 21 days I will only spread positivity.

The whole night went by on the phone chit-chatting with the friend, the best part about that 2-hour long conversation was that both of us completely forgot about what's happening in the world.

P.S: Conversation with Bhjij

'Me: Bhiji Ki karaenge hun assi 21 dinne liyee?

Bhijji: Puth hass ke kad le chaye roo ke kad le , rehna tha ithhe hi hai hun'

THIS STRUCK ME HARD

Day 4

25th March 2020

Day 4 guys, by now I am getting used to the fact that I have to stay in for quite some time now, trying my level best to keep up the positivity and spread some along the way. So the day started on the same note got up at around 11 am, happily skipped the newspaper which I feel is kinda healthy for a while.

Since today was all about positivity, I started the day by cleaning my room and by cleaning I don't mean just changing the sheets I literally cleaned the room, from doors to shelves to books, photo frames, TV unit everything. Then after that, I went for a hot shower wore some nice clothes blow-dried my hair, basically did everything I could to feel better and trust me 'I FELT ON TOP OF THE WORLD' Lol.

Being on day 4, I was kinda done with Netflix and Amazon prime so I was just talking to friends and watching some vlogs/travel vlogs while having my meals.  

At night I did some crazy ass workout which made me feel so much better, I was quite satisfied by the day but then it even got better we did an epic video calling session on this new app ' Houseparty' played all sorts of silly games and had a great time.

No, the night is not over yet buddy, then came to the ludo sessions and to my surprise, it was kinda fun.

 So all in all it was quite a successful day

'Der Lagi Lekin Ab Humne Jeena Sikh Liya'

Day 5

26th March 2020

Into Day 5, now I am at a point when I can say yaar 5 din ho gaye pta hi nahi chala , lol . So the day starts a bit late same old cleaning up, roaming around and all; the best part about today was I followed my schedule again, I took a nice bath, even pampered myself with a  face scrub so I was feeling fresh as a cucumber lol.

A new practice which I started today was I made a small makeshift workplace in my back balcony, a small table a chair some nice hot coffee perfect weather, I couldn't have asked for anything better during this lockdown. I was sitting there for almost 2-3 hrs it felt like I have been teleported to the hills the sky was so mesmerizing, and clouds were making all sorts of paintings in the sky.

# 'Bhai badal toh zaruri hain '

One good thing about the lockdown is that I have started working out and since I am not moving around, I am not eating much too.

Then as the night progressed I got a house party invite from the Kolkata gang, and then the banter started which lasted till almost 3 in the morning.

So I can say it was a hell of a day, I know this is the 1st time I am saying this since the last 5 days but the fact is, one should appreciate the small wins in life, especially at this gloomy hour.

Adios, I will be back tomorrow with another story another day, till then buh byee shabaa kher, stay safe stay positive.

Day 6

27th March 2020

Day 6 fellas and the weekend is here, not that it would be any different than the other days, still, I am an excited kid. Now at least I am getting used to this lockdown and have made peace with it.

So the 1st half of the day went past in a flash some work calls and cleaning up kept me quite busy. As it was day 6, I have been following my routine religiously by now.

But there is always something interesting happening when you have a khurafati mind, so I decided I will trim my hair today, not recommended but I felt what could go wrong, and even if something did I will be back to my normal self in a span of 2 weeks.

So a couple of YouTube tutorials later, there I was in front of my mirror with scissors in my hand, let me tell what happens when you actually, start trimming your hair, you are completely clueless, trust me it is much more difficult than it looks, I somehow went with my instinct and did a pretty decent job, I was really proud of the fact that I didn't fuck up like some of my friends(One is bald now lol) and can still see myself in the mirror. All in all, I enjoyed it

The second half of the day was like every day filled with all kinds of house parties n stuff, by midnight I was craving for a nice feel-good movie and I knew the perfect movie for this scenario a masterpiece which I always wanted to watch 'Forest Gump', the crux of the movie is never lose hope, as life is all about ups and down, cherish the good times and just stay positive during the bad ones, you will surely make it through, which I am damm sure all of us will

Day 7

28th March 2020

Congratulations guys we all have made it through day 7, one week has gone by and its Saturday again, I hope all of you had made some plans for the weekend, I, fortunately, had a few but I am sure they won't work out like most weekends. So the day started with our family doctor paying a visit to bheeji , a new face after a while we all caught up and I also got to know that some kind of balcony tambola sessions were taking place in the next lane which was really fascinating, especially after that viral video, I so wished I could go there.

My day was just getting started and there I saw my friend with his car filled up with grocery paying a visit ( he has a delivery kitchen so he had a pass) after literally covering up myself with all the things I had at my disposal I went out to meet him. Since I made him feel like an untouchable the poor guy had no option but to leave.

After this, I quickly took a shower, and as it was the weekend wore a nice black t-shirt and my grey ripped jeans, some of you might think I am crazy, but I am just a regular guy who would do any fucking thing in this world to stay happy, I just don't care what people think, if it makes me happy I will do it, I am the kind of guy jo barat mein late laate ke dance karte hai, so this is nothing for me.

In the evening, I was back at my favorite spot, the clouds were wandering in all sorts of directions and the sunset was just magical, I stayed out a bit longer than usual and indulged into a stargazing session with the crescent moon being the icing on the cake.

The second part of the day went past in a flash, one to one sessions with mom, some kick-ass works, house parties and slept while watching a couple of travel vlogs.

BARAGRAM: An Unexplored Heaven

A quaint old village tucked up in one corner of the world, Baragram .I had never thought that a 20 minutes drive from Barot (Himachal) can take us to what I would consider as paradise.The world of hearts which were still full of life and not ruined by technology

Our first encounter was with a family, who unknowingly taught us the true meaning of the phrase it is not about the things you have in life, it is about the things you can give; without expecting anything in return. The whole experience became so overwhelming when one of them desired to hitch one of our friend with her own son. The warmth with which they welcomed us to their village, it gave us the impression that as if we were coming back home.

We started exploring the village and with every step, we could see curious faces around us, be it the lady cleaning her clothes, or the man smoking hookah in his front yard, the only thing they had in common was the way they greeted us and accepted us as one of them.

For a city lad like me, all this was a distant dream, the serene ambiance of the village, and a world without all the hustle and bustle. For the people of that village life had a bigger meaning than just earning money and buying that luxurious car or a big bungalow. For them, life was a peaceful experience,  and surely they had no intentions to waste it on any of the materialistic things that man had to offer

Frankly to be really honest at first when I entered the village I was kinda skeptical and thought how tough life was for the people of that village but after spending some time with them I realised that their lives were far better than the ones we live, trust me what we consider life is is just a rut that we have created and given it a name"LIFE".

While descending back from the village a small little child caught our eye who was so overwhelmed to see us that he just couldn't stop smiling, and his little waving gestures made us fall for him and within minutes we started descending toward his house. There we were welcomed by his family into their house for a little chat up session. Uncle offered us hookah, while we were trying to greet the small little fellow. We sat there in their front yard and explained to them why four people from Delhi were so keen to understand their culture and gain some insights about their everyday life. What made our day all the more memorable was how the kid enthusiastically waved at us while we were leaving. That wide smile and the little waving gesture assured that the greatest privilege in life is to know, help and enjoy the company of others. This little rendezvous with him gave me assurance of the fact that a child's smile has the power to bury one's tension and fill it up with joy.

 Now, it was time for us to get back and leave the beautiful village, but what happened next was something we never imagined. All this while we were accompanied by this cute looking dog who we met at the outset of our journey, that little canine unknowingly played the role of a protector as well as a guide for us in that village. He was so friendly and playful that in a matter of minutes he gelled in and became a part of our expedition. While leaving we cuddled him and said our last goodbye's, but for him, this separation was just too hard to accept, surprisingly he ran after our car for good 15-20 minutes while we were descending downhill hoping that the car would turn and we would come back.It was hard for us as well to see him in such a state,  but as they say, it's sometimes better to leave than to give false hopes in life.It was difficult for the locals as well as our driver to digest the fact that the dog got so attached to us in such a short span of time that he was running after our car with all the strength he had, but sometimes love and affection is all you need to create that everlasting bond

Finally, we reached back to Barot, but now we had a box full of memories with us, which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I still can't figure out, what was it their simplicity or the pure love and care with which they treated us because surely the people of that village had something to offer as when we were leaving from that town it felt like we were leaving with our feet but not with our hearts.

Location: Baragram(Himachal;District Kangra )

Goa:It Leaves You Speechless ,Then Turns You Into A Storyteller

GOA the land of sun sex and beaches,and i being a typical Delhi Launda had the same perspective but they always said experience it once and you will definitely fall in love with the city.

It all started with kanu saying let's go to goa and as always no one took it seriously but who would have thought that this trip would change our lives forever .As they say friends are the family you choose and in the last one week a new family was born.

After all the chaos we all landed in Goa,but to our surprise it was nothing as we expected a small airport welcomed us with a big banner of Sukho Thai Spa (which excited the guys at least). 

As soon as we got out the Delhi Guy in me stepped up and i started negotiating but to my surprise the people were so different yet welcoming.

The drive from the airport to our villa was where it all started ,slowly the hustle and bustle of the city ended and the sea was kind enough to accompany us for most part of our journey .The excitement skyrocketed as soon as we reached the THEEKA(Wine and beer store).We stacked up all the liquor we could and continued our journey.

 Our Villa

After a span of about 1 hour we finally reached our home away from home.the beautiful villa left us all in a state of shock the lush green forest at the back ,the view from  those so called rocking chairs  it was just out of the world.

The Reunion

Our family was still not complete as a bunch of our friends arrived early ,we all went out to welcome them and there he was our so called surprise Ankit Lakhotia (Mera bhai) i always knew at the back of my mind that woh reh hi nahi sakta hamre bina(that he cannot live without us) and he turned up at the last minute to complete SQUAD.

Day One:The Rave Begins 

It all started with poping the liquor bottles and boozing all night, Shiva valley the land of stoners was a very different world from what we wanted but the excitement of the first night was so much that we kinda manged through the night.The so called shikaris(Ankit ,Paraj and me) went out to pull and just to get accustomed to the atmosphere but to our surprise there he was our nightmare Ujjwal Batla staring straight into our eyes and saying i can see the Darihndha (Devil) in you.HAHAHA

The night finally started going down and we reached our villa.
All the hopes of puling anyone was over and i ended up sharing the bed (queen size) with my bhai's PP,ankit and ujjwal because what's better than sleeping in a bed with a woman sleeping with your brothers at least ujjwal batla had that view

Day Two:First encounter with the Beach and Chadha's Birthday Eve

Its Goa so the first thing that comes up in your mind is let's go to the beach but in my case it was different the 1st thing i saw was a sad faced kanu holding medicines in her hand and me being me was like eat all of them kya hi hoga.

The cook in me finally took over and i made some out of the world omelettes (not the best place to brag about myself).

All of us being the self centered lot can never go out without a photo session so the whole gang was busy here and there capturing moments which will surely become priceless one day.

Finally we arrive at the beach and the water welcomes us with open arms,the so called thrilling banana ride and the bumpy ride with anubha was a brilliant start to the beach.The chilling continued at the shack and slowly and steadily we were getting the hang of goa.
The two wheeler gang for the day took a small detour which eventually gave me new couple goals.As kanu and sahil gave us the insight of their beautiful love story and the way it all started and how it was just meant to be gave me goosebumps and let me tell you guys wase to mein bhut sakht launda hoon but wahan mein phigal gaya LOL

The sun goes down , the clock ticks 12 and its chadha's birthday everyone knows its not very difficult to make her happy (choti kushiyan) but i wanted to do something different and in this case it was just a song and she being not the materialistic kinds loved my little gesture
LPK the so called place to party started with me at my best when it comes to negotiating and making up stories.we ended up saving money all thanks to my imaginative friend Imran Bhai.
The daru kicks in, the guys occupy the pole and give the girls one the best pole dancing session's they would have ever witnessed LOL ,we all drank like maniacs (1500 jo vasoolne the) and gave some life to the so called most happening club of goa .

Dinner table always open's up people and in this case it was anubha and we finally had a proper conversation after which she decided it was better for her to throw up LOL. Then i saw a smiling face coming straight at me and said mene scooty chalai ,i always had this feeling that this girl would do anything for her so called Bhapka.
The night was coming to an end it was bed for a few and sofa for others for the last chilling/talking/gossiping(Chadha and ujjwal) session .A cuddled up so called counselling session was all what anubha wanted to end her day and i was surely there to provide one.

The PATI,PATNI and WOH gang (as chadha describes us) needed some alone time to catch up stuff so the three of us me,chadha and PP went for a drive to witness the beautiful sunrise and she witnessed how the 2 of us(me and pp) fight and are normal in just 10 seconds.

Day Three: Chadha's Birthday and the Wolfpack Hunts

The day started with me and chadha having a long conversation and sacrificing our sleep for that ,which is obviously not the 1st time and only we know how difficult it is for us to stop once we start our deep one to one sessions
The day had some minor hiccups which only one person in the world could have handled that being me and i think i did a pretty good job.

Chadha's birthday lunch started with PP ordering as if it was the last meal of his life.The wolfpack managed to get chadha her favorite cake and then we all broke into one big Photo session Hahaha
The next stop was Thalassa which started with a little car-o-bar session and me and chadha going on a long walk just to spend some quality alone time which was must after such a hectic day.

I ended up on the beach alone first, just because i went into a little different phase which only one person figured out who always manages to do that whatsoever
Which was followed up by a mesmerizing star gazing session which took me into a different world all together.

The night took a brilliant turn for the wolfpack (me,ankit and pp) when chadha came and told us you guys should go and chill and without wasting even a second there we were the 3 of us standing at the bar in Chronicles. Hoping to get a bit lucky i got my self into a little necking session with a cute girl which gave me all the more confidence to pull some more.
As the night progressed a lot of things happened which i am absolutely sure the 3 of us will never forget for the rest of our lives 1st the scooty driving lessons then figuring out the way and then the dreadful yet eventful confrontation with the gang ,but it was surely one of the best nights for me
as i drove my so called scooty for the 1st time after which mujhe ishq sa ho gaya banjarepan se.

Then came Fort Aguanda /light house which was such a alluring time at least for me as i was sitting alone far from the chirping noise of PP and enjoying the sunrise ,the drive from aguanda to the beach just increased my love for riding a two wheeler to many folds and we finally ended the day

Day four: Traveler in me was Reborn'ed 

The day started with a brilliant meal at small cafe which served such good food that it became our go to place for breakfast.Then the group got divided into to the ones who wanted to sleep and the other half who would sacrifice it any day.

Not to anyone's surprise i was one of those who choose not to sleep,we took out our scooty and went for the trip of our lives.

I always knew i had a traveler deep inside me which was suppressed  with all things that were happening in my life be it work,family or studies but that day it came back and how.

Shubhit Bajaj the wanderlust of our group took over and the rest of us (me,chadha and anubha) followed.

We started our journey and our first stop was the stunning Ashwem beach which was not very crowded yet full of life, we wasted no time and jumped for a quick swim.

I being the so called clothes concise person was in a different zone all together now, i hardly cared about what i was wearing or if i had any wax on my hair i was so busy enjoying the moment that all these things had no significance anymore.

Our next stop cannot be described it can only be felt a secluded beach in the middle of nowhere which made us fall in love with it in a matter of seconds and we just couldn't leave .At that moment i was just enjoying the water but little did i know that i was discovering myself and the wanderlust in me was coming out slowly and steadily .

Our next stop was a mountain which we started climbing because we saw a path and to our surprise it took us to an abandoned rave party site ,it was scary yet fascinating to see the whole setup that they had created,shattered mirrors fancy paints etc.

Our next stop was one of the smallest yet welcoming shacks where we got to know more about each other and got some energy just to keep up on our journey. 

The last stop of our journey was arambol beach which was full of hot girls,most of which were discovered by chadha and anubha and we ended our journey with a small corn on our way back

We finally reunited with the gang and went for dinner but what was still missing in the this trip was PP getting drunk and me predicting the outcome but not for long as soon i as saw him at the beach sitting i was absolutely sure that he will puke and me being me was right here as well

Our day ended  at water's(nightclub) where at least my energy was at its lowest because sleeping for not more than 5 hours in 3 days takes a toll on you .So i was the first one to crash the bed as soon as we reached our villa.

Day Five: The Last Lap

The day started on a sad note as we had to see off Dhairya and my scooty riding companion shubhit. Then we all ended up at our favorite breakfast spot Baba's cafe for a nice little meal.This day being the only unplanned day left us with some time to chill by the pool and make the bond we all had even stronger.With swimming comes a bunch of my friends who always wants swimming lesson but for some reason never learn anything, first it was anubha's turn to learn how to cycle which went down the drain and then comes ujjwal who wants me to teach him how to swim under water just because he wants to propose his girlfriend one day underwater LOL.

After our little swim we all came back for a pre gaming session but to everyone's surprise i had something else in my mind .I went into a different zone and wanted some alone time to introspect and ended up spending an hour or so in the backyard staring at the beautiful view with a hint of songs that i could hear from the room and was so sure about who was playing them which only helped

The night dawned on us in a matter of minutes at least that is what i felt ,and we ended up on a small little cafe by the road.Singing songs.dancing and making memories nothing new but there was something special in that place i don't know what.

Then came the night we all waited so eagerly at least the guys Club Cubana ,it was huge with people coming in flocks and having the time of their lives.

We all started the night with a shot(which sucked) and then parted ways soon enough as we had different agendas .The guys went out to pull and the rest were chilling .

To my surprise i had an cheeky encounter with a really cute girl who was so confident that she could have given me a run for my money.

By now the wanderlust in me was at its peak and no way in hell i would spend my last morning sleeping and miss the sunrise.Our next stop was chapora fort as soon as i saw it ,it conquered me and i just couldn't stop myself but give in.

I sat there alone on one of the rocks and saw the sun rising slowly and steadily and let me tell you guys there are some things in life which can only be experienced and not described sunrise is one such thing.

We came back from chapora fort and i saw the time it was 8:30 i still had some time before we had to return our scooty so i went on a solo ride without a destination in my mind.I stopped after around 15-20 mins of riding and asked for the nearest beach .This was a secluded part of candolim beach for which i had to cross a small village i was memorized by seeing the beautiful houses around me and people greeting me with such a wide smile.i finally made it to the beach and said the last good bye.

I went back and what followed is something none of us expected me ,chadha ,ankit and ujjwal (PP was sleeping) went down the memory lane and had a reunion of our own .The best conversation we all had till date talking about the good old days,our phela phela pyaar  and where it all started being amazed by where we are now and how special this journey  was for all of us 

Day 6:The Journey Ends

The day finally arrived it felt like these six days ended in a matter of a second ,what i can say is goa changed me for good and in a way i never expected

"Na Jaane Kab kharch ho gaye , pata hi nahi chala woh lamhe jo chhupa kar rakhe the jeene ke liye."

Goa:It Leaves You Speechless, Then Turns You Into A Storyteller

as i drove my so called scooty for the 1st time after which mujhe ishq sa ho gaya banjarepan se.

Then came Fort Aguanda /light house which was such a alluring time at least for me as i was sitting alone far from the chirping noise of PP and enjoying the sunrise ,the drive from aguanda to the beach just increased my love for riding a two wheeler to many folds and we finally ended the day

Day four: Traveler in me was Reborn'ed 

The day started with a brilliant meal at small cafe which served such good food that it became our go to place for breakfast.Then the group got divided into to the ones who wanted to sleep and the other half who would sacrifice it any day.

Not to anyone's surprise i was one of those who choose not to sleep,we took out our scooty and went for the trip of our lives.

I always knew i had a traveler deep inside me which was suppressed  with all things that were happening in my life be it work,family or studies but that day it came back and how.

Shubhit Bajaj the wanderlust of our group took over and the rest of us (me,chadha and anubha) followed.

We started our journey and our first stop was the stunning Ashwem beach which was not very crowded yet full of life, we wasted no time and jumped for a quick swim.

I being the so called clothes concise person was in a different zone all together now, i hardly cared about what i was wearing or if i had any wax on my hair i was so busy enjoying the moment that all these things had no significance anymore.

Our next stop cannot be described it can only be felt a secluded beach in the middle of nowhere which made us fall in love with it in a matter of seconds and we just couldn't leave .At that moment i was just enjoying the water but little did i know that i was discovering myself and the wanderlust in me was coming out slowly and steadily .

Our next stop was a mountain which we started climbing because we saw a path and to our surprise it took us to an abandoned rave party site ,it was scary yet fascinating to see the whole setup that they had created,shattered mirrors fancy paints etc.

Our next stop was one of the smallest yet welcoming shacks where we got to know more about each other and got some energy just to keep up on our journey. 

The last stop of our journey was arambol beach which was full of hot girls,most of which were discovered by chadha and anubha and we ended our journey with a small corn on our way back

We finally reunited with the gang and went for dinner but what was still missing in the this trip was PP getting drunk and me predicting the outcome but not for long as soon i as saw him at the beach sitting i was absolutely sure that he will puke and me being me was right here as well

Our day ended  at water's(nightclub) where at least my energy was at its lowest because sleeping for not more than 5 hours in 3 days takes a toll on you .So i was the first one to crash the bed as soon as we reached our villa.

Day Five: The Last Lap

The day started on a sad note as we had to see off Dhairya and my scooty riding companion shubhit. Then we all ended up at our favorite breakfast spot Baba's cafe for a nice little meal.This day being the only unplanned day left us with some time to chill by the pool and make the bond we all had even stronger.With swimming comes a bunch of my friends who always wants swimming lesson but for some reason never learn anything, first it was anubha's turn to learn how to cycle which went down the drain and then comes ujjwal who wants me to teach him how to swim under water just because he wants to propose his girlfriend one day underwater LOL.

After our little swim we all came back for a pre gaming session but to everyone's surprise i had something else in my mind .I went into a different zone and wanted some alone time to introspect and ended up spending an hour or so in the backyard staring at the beautiful view with a hint of songs that i could hear from the room and was so sure about who was playing them which only helped

The night dawned on us in a matter of minutes at least that is what i felt ,and we ended up on a small little cafe by the road.Singing songs.dancing and making memories nothing new but there was something special in that place i don't know what.

Then came the night we all waited so eagerly at least the guys Club Cubana ,it was huge with people coming in flocks and having the time of their lives.

We all started the night with a shot(which sucked) and then parted ways soon enough as we had different agendas .The guys went out to pull and the rest were chilling .

To my surprise i had an cheeky encounter with a really cute girl who was so confident that she could have given me a run for my money.

By now the wanderlust in me was at its peak and no way in hell i would spend my last morning sleeping and miss the sunrise.Our next stop was chapora fort as soon as i saw it ,it conquered me and i just couldn't stop myself but give in.

I sat there alone on one of the rocks and saw the sun rising slowly and steadily and let me tell you guys there are some things in life which can only be experienced and not described sunrise is one such thing.

We came back from chapora fort and i saw the time it was 8:30 i still had some time before we had to return our scooty so i went on a solo ride without a destination in my mind.I stopped after around 15-20 mins of riding and asked for the nearest beach .This was a secluded part of candolim beach for which i had to cross a small village i was memorized by seeing the beautiful houses around me and people greeting me with such a wide smile.i finally made it to the beach and said the last good bye.

I went back and what followed is something none of us expected me ,chadha ,ankit and ujjwal (PP was sleeping) went down the memory lane and had a reunion of our own .The best conversation we all had till date talking about the good old days,our phela phela pyaar  and where it all started being amazed by where we are now and how special this journey  was for all of us 

Day 6:The Journey Ends

The day finally arrived it felt like these six days ended in a matter of a second ,what i can say is goa changed me for good and in a way i never expected

"Na Jaane Kab kharch ho gaye , pata hi nahi chala woh lamhe jo chhupa kar rakhe the jeene ke liye."

Let's describe the family:

Dhairya and Shubit

Dhairya the younger brother of the group and the one who is full of life and always up for a laugh. 

Shubit aka wanderlust zindagi toh yeh aadmi ji raha hai hum sab toh bas kat rahe hain,the vagabond of our who is always up for an adventure ,u have no idea what you have done to me (shimle ne basna ,kasuli ne basna chambe jana zaror)

Vijay

Munshi ji of our group you take a problem to him and he will make his own and solve it, a brother to keep

Kanu & Sahil

If anyone ever ask me what is a perfect relationship i will get them to you guys,you guys act like the best of friends which makes you the best couple. Chirping kanu and a sorted sahil a perfect combination.

Anubha:

  The life of our group ,the smallest of things can make her laugh be it her jokes or just a gesture .One can never get bored when she is around

Tanisha:

The so called new comer and to my surprise in no time we gelled so well ,to a point she would consider us our boss LOL .Our best audience and the one who always appreciates our humorous side

Ujjwal Batla:

Teeda hai but mera hai ,the guy would not even think twice before touching me and putting me in awkward position .I know this guy since the 9th std and he has been one of the hottest lad's i have ever come across but also the most annoying(Goan accent wala punjabi)

Ankit Lakhotia:

We have literally grown up together from Thailand to goa; from discussing football to gradually shifting to girls,he has been there in all times be it good or bad .The one who never wears anything without my approval and my most regular client when it comes to styling people.The guy who knows if ever he gets into a fight i would be the first one throwing the punch at his opponent not him.

Paraj Primlani:

The one who annoy's me the most; but no one can deny the fact that we cannot live without each other.What we have cannot be described can only be seen and i am sure till now everyone has witnessed it .This para can never do justice to the kind of relationship we share

Snigdha Chadha:

 A lot of you complaint about the fact that i don't open up so easily ,but its different when i am talking to her.From pta nahi to samjh jha we have come a long way and now at point in our lives that i cannot even imagine my life without you.The one who get's its only by looking at me and i have to confess today that she is never wrong.From breaking through each other's armor and pouring our hearts out,from those morning rides to those late night conversations we have been through alot. I know how to make you smile and you do the same unknowingly.You have been my sukoon for a really long time now and will ALWAYS be because you may share your stuff to alot of people but for me its only you.One last thing i may or may not be there for all the good times but i will always be there standing by your side for the bad one's my VICTORIA SECRET ANGEL.

ABOUT ME:

You all consider me as a street smart,hustler ,somtimes a cunning businees man but underneath all the amour lies a cute little kid who still discoveing himself and get's happiness in all the tiny little things around him.
