Goa galatta

It seems as if a light year has passed since my last blog. Lets not go into the reasons now. I must tell ya folks that i had been to Goa recently with four of my friends - Rajesh, Skely,Akki and Biju.The Goa plan started way back (actually 4 months back) when Akki and skely got a flight ticket from Goa to B`lore for the price of a peanut. Rajesh, myself & Biju could`nt resist to join these guys.

Life away from the routine office work in itself is an enchanting experience. The amount of fun we had is worth a bagful of diamonds. It all started in the train from B`lore to Goa when Biju celebrated his B`day. The Charlston resort in Calangute with amazing rooms on the shores of the Calangute beach was one of the cleanest beaches in Goa. Banana boat ride and Para-sailing experience is worth a mention here. Though i had accomplished Banana boat ride in Bangkok, the excitement level was at its peak. Right from the word go, i knew that the banana boat will be made to topple, and due to this, there was a small sense of fear in me (i am yet to learn swimming).

I have no words to describe the Para-sailing experience in Calangute beach. Sailing in the sky at a height of 80 odd meters with the beautiful view of the beach at your disposal made me wonder why i had not experienced this before. 1200 bucks for 2 of us was really worth the money. Biju had the privelege of sailing twice, coz we were 5 of us in total and 1 of us had the chance go twice.

All the guys were really co-operative and the four days passed away like a jiffy. Except for Rajesh who missed Suki, the rest of us were in semi excited meta-stable state all the time. The car drives from one corner of Goa to the other was like an icing on the cake for most of us who loved driving. There is lot more to tell, but let me stop here for want of time.

I am now looking forward to Bunjee-jumping, snorkeling, scuba diving and similar thrilling adventure sports.
