Drunken Riding or Over-Confidence !!!!!!!



On 16th of Feb, Would also term it as an Historic Day in my Life......Let me explain why ?? ...Early in the morning I was boasting to my Cousin and his Roomie about my riding skills....and the main highlight was I had never met with an accident when i was drunk or otherwise too...And while being drunk, I would reach home the fastest.....could be in less than 15 mins from M.G Road....Listening to tis, my cousin and roomie told, be careful dude...ride slow..and as always, i told them..dont worry I will Ride slow........That afternoon my Best Pal(Anoop) calls me up and told we will meet at Stones(Pub) in Indiranagar,as he was meeting a few collegeues there. Had some work to finish and by 5, I was in Stones...Had around 4 -5 mugs of beer and then planned to leave home, but then our bestfriend(Joseph) calls in telling us that......he's on his way and he wants us join him for another drink......

...First of all...I hadnt slept the whole day,as I had to go with my Uncle and Aunt for their New Flat registration and didnt want to skip meeting my friends too...So I was on this Beer Quest without a single min of sleep... And if u ppl are wondering..wat difference does it make if he didnt sleep during the day..answer is I work at night and sleep thru the day....and that given day I came back home only by 5am from work.......................

.So then ...finally we left to Garuda Mall to meet Joseph....and we parked our Bikes in Indiranagar and went there on Sreeraj's Car( another friend of us)....Once we reached there, i was kind of swaying...as was sleepy and a lil high on 5 Mugs of beer.....(And u ppl might be surprised...how is that I am high on beer.....nor do I....off late...I dont get high on Hard Liquor..but Beer's got a very Bad Effect ;).........Now Since Joseph wanted to drink....we ended up in BULL & BUSH for a few more rounds of beer....During the drink...Joseph wanted me and Anoop to come down to his place...as he had got a new Home Theatre system and he wanted us to have a look at it, Though we all stayed all 3 diff corners of Blore...we finally managed to cnvince our parents to spend the night at Jospeh's place....Finally all Happy and High on Beer...we planned to head to our Pitstop(Joseph's Home)....Since my Bike was in Indiranagar, Anoop accompanied me to pick it up.....We were again dropped by Sreeraj at Stones....After seeing off Sreeraj...
I just started my Bike..and took the very first turn at a speed of not more than 30-40kmph and there my bike skids off ,as there a lot of Mud on the road........I am lying flat on the ground with bike over me, and my pal..made a clean escape...as he jumped off.....
......Someone helped me stand up and anoop moved the bike towards the pavement..and the first thing i ask him is.."Is My Bike Alright" ???


However I am still trying to figure it out......Was it me Drunk which caused the accident or was it my Over-Confidence...........


Anyways Who Cares !!!!!!!! CHEERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

So...after a few hrs of sleep, we woke up at around 11...if u can call it a few hrs :D....then we had a quick shower and then started off on my yatra vahaan..with ur faithful driver....Rocky...we headed straight to Mapusa town, then decided we will go to Baga..and landed up in Baga around 1p.m...then we finally settled down at a shack called louis shack....ordered lots of stuff to eat,as we were all dead hungry....munched on everything possible..from steaks..to manchurians'...Fried rice..and then sat down with a few beer cans..thats when one of our pals..strips all of a sudden and rushes to the beach....we were shocked for a while..wats he doin..rather he told us..chill bro..its Goa and runs away....and the dude was none other than Joseph...if u ppl dont know..he's got this habit of stripping at beaches...and it evn happened on our very first trip from college too :D.....then after a few beers..even me,rocky and kamal also set off on the stripping spree and went into the beach...by around 6pm, we all headed back to joseph's cousins place, as u know it was 31st Evening and it was ne yr eve...so we had to head somewhere for the night :)....finally went home..had a shower again and then headed back to Baga beach again...and it took nearly an hr to reach Baga...as majority of the crowd was on the way to Baga......for New yr eve....Finally we planned to settle down in the same shack(louis shack), but the crowd and the atmosphere didnt impress us much...and we finally walked around for a while..looking at lots of dance parties happening and finally camped base at Britto's Shack on Baga Beach......it was a peaceful place...with some light music..pretty nice crowd and nice service.....all of us started off drinking..however i was blown even before new yr eve,and finally enjoyed a few thumbs up...while my partners started off with VAT69, BlackDog and Royal Challenge....finally at the stroke of 12...the lights went off..and it was raining crackers every where..enjoyed the fireworks for a while and then we started drinking again..and this time, i was back to normal and had a few drinks too. Then finally around 3am in the morning,we headed back to our scorpio and headed back home, on the way..we even found a place to rest ourselves for the rest of the trip...Went back to Joseph's cousins place and then again had a round of Boom and a few beers and there, and then there started iff the heroics of rocky and Naveen...who culdnt stop laughing after having boom...me and kamal were wondering..wat in the world was happening,as boom didnt have any effect on us....and if u all are wondering wat we mean by boom....Boom means..Grass...still u havent got it....it means dope....(Would also like to quote this saying which i found on a lot of t-shirts in Goa...it read...." God made grass, Man made Booze, whom would you trust" :D....wat say ppl ????.....anyways finally i was dead tired and sleepy too and fell off to sleep by 5:30 in the morning.

1st Jan 2008( New Yr & a New Beginning)
It was 1st and it was a Monday morning, woke up as usual around 11am to 12noon, had a slight breakfast and then packed our bags and headed to the place close to Baga beach,where we planned to spend the rest of our Goa Trip. The place " CastaDeGoa". It was a place managed by an ex-army Lt.Dennis, we reached there around 2pm. Unpacked our stuff, ordered food from a resturant which was next to the place where we stayed and then since we all were still tired, we went off to sleep. Woke up by 6pm, all of us had our showers again and then we went to pick up Booze...went down to Baga(calangute city) and then picked up 2 bottles of RC, 1 bottle of 100 pipers and a few breezers and beer . Then we headed back to our rooms and ordered food as usual from the place next door and sat down to drink....finished 1 bottle of RC and 1 bottle of 100 pipers and then had a session of boom again...finished our dinner and went off to sleep by 3 in the morning.

Finally after a lng stroll, we headed back to our rooms and as i was telling...rocky was still on his 2 mins and wasnt ready yet....Finally after a lot of sweraing and scolding, Naveen and rocky got ready....we had lunch at a place close by...and as always...we were feasting on pork,beef,chicken steaks.....all kinds of diff dishes and then headed back to our rooms....Then we finally put on some comfortable clothing and headed to the beach......again...and this time around as soon as we reached the beach, got a bed on the beach and then finally all decided to try the water-scooter's......Rocky & Naveen werent keen on riding them...so me and Kamal...took their share of fun...and had a fun filled and exciting ride on the waterscooter....then played in the beach for a long while..longing at the diff ppl and also the babes....Finally settled down on the shores...sipping on beer and muching on some amazing steaks....While we were doing this, we saw a few ppl selling a lighted catapult...which had a small light on it and once sent in the air, would come back to us...as a boomerang....brought of couple of them and we started playing with them on the beach like small kids....finally around 9pm,we headed bck to our hotel, showers again..and got back to eating again...which we all loved doing.....and along with the dinner..we started drinking and a final round of boom....for the trip.....and to top it off...we had nice music playing from a restuarant close by....where there was live music.....and finally as always..we went off to sleep by 2-3am in the morning.

Second Heaven & Bliss : GOA !!!

Introduction:
This blog is about the amazing Goa trip at the end of 2007. Had been waiting for yrs to make this Goa trip happen. The last trip was in the month of Oct 2003 from Christ college. It was a college trip and it was when i just fell in love with this amazing place....and from then on..every yr...i plan along with my friends to go to Goa....but it would never happen and used to get cancelled due to one or another reason. Finally this yr...me and 3 of my friends made it happen...Again as always we had been planning for this trip for a very long time and it kept getting postponed.Finally we had decided we would leave to Goa on 26th early morning. Had my leaves approved from Office and we were all set. But a couple of weeks before our trip, a huge bomb fell..which was our friend and partner in crime..Rocky had to go to Delhi for his Visa Interview as he was leaving to Czech in January. And here again, we were in doubt about our Goa trip. There was even plans cropping up for cancelling the trip and go to any happening places in Blore for New Yr Eve. And after lots of frustrations and postponing, finally we planned to leave to Goa on 30th Afternoon at 2p.m.

1st day (30th Dec 2007) :
Finally all set,bags packed, we set off from my place in Rocky's Scorpio. The 3 partners in crime were Naveen alias..StirNaveen or KS( Joint CEO of Nirvana Constructions,Resorts & Ads) & Kamal alias Camel alias the Serious Guy( Joint CEO of Nirvana Constructions,Resorts & Ads). And sorry guys...forgot to introduce Rocky alais..Raakesh alias Carkesh....alias Bandaged Mummy alias...Raakesh(CEO of Marking Inc)
Our first pit stop was immediately after we left from my place which was at "TOTAL SPIRITS ", which was 5 mins away from my place. I guess u shld be thinking now,why we stopped so early and wats this place(Total Spirits)...as the name sounds....we stopped to fill ourselves and our vehicle with spirit....still didnt get it, it was a place to pick up booze :). We filled out the Icebox with 40 bottles of Bacardi Breezers and a few Beers. Now finally we were all set for the road...had a slight lunch at a place close by and hit the road. On the way we stopped at Reliance Petrol Station to fill Gas...and then onto National Highway 4. The route which we were taking was from Blore - Tumkur - Chitradurga - Hubli - Karwar - Finally Goa. On the journey we made a few documentaries on Naveen's N95...pulling each other's legs and gulping down Breezers....then we had our first official pit stop at A1 Plaza in Reliance Petrol Station near Ranibennur. Had Kababs and FriedRice and then started off again...But this time around...got a new problem...we got stuck in a traffic jam for nearly 2 hrs after ranibennur...and finally managed to get thru the traffic and hit the roads again ....it was an amazing drive and we had an amazing driver..who made sure our journey was peaceful...we passed thru ghat sections and a few roads which were pathetic..but our faithful driver(rocky) made sure we were safe.....finally at around 12:30 - 1:00a.m in the morning we reached Karwar and we could see the sea and also smell the air which had the aroma of the sea.....after another hr and a half drive..reached goa checkpost....had to pay 50 bucks to the checkpost guys...then started off agian....travelled for a while and police stopped us near Margoa.....we thought we shouldnt have any issues, but to our bad luck, rocky hadnt checked the vehicle papers properly and he didnt have the Insurance and Emission papers of the vehicle...had to pay around 500 bucks....a lil sleepy...and tired...again we started off...again after 20 mins...we got caught by another cop...same scene..finally had to pay him 200 bucks..got some advise and continued with the journey...finally reached...Panaji at around 3am....and all were dead hungry...Rocky told that there was a Pav Bhaji shop which is open at that time and we can eat something there....found the place after a lil look around and filled our stomachs with cold Pav and Hot Bhaji....;)...Then we left to Mapusa....where we were supposed to stay, and our stay was sponsored by Joseph alais..Chali...alias ( Mobile2win -Manager for Telco & Media - South)...he had arranged out stay at a cousin's place...finally after another 30-40 mins journey..we reached Tivim...which was around 4a.m in the morning....Had a couple od beers and a few smokes..and then finally went to bed around 5:30a.m..after a few rounds of boom....this ends the story of the 1st day to Goa. !!!...........................................rest of the trip to be continued very soon.....
