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.....
