With just a few days left for the real puja to begin and while the whole city rather when entire India is drenched in a festive mood....am back home for my vacation(which is yet to start officially) and sitting back at home I am engrossed in the sweet memories
of my last vacations which was a 25 days trip to the mesmerising city of Goa.
Last vacations...i.e. summer 2008 has memories which is still as fresh as the morning lily, and i dont really have to go down my memory lane to pen down the unforgettable memories which are etched in my mind.
Though I wasnt visiting Goa for the first time...neither the view of the frivolous blue sea was new to me, but the feel was quite different this time as I was on a fun trip to Goa with people without whom I cant imagine my life....my college life to be more specific...yeaah you have got it right...I was on an exquisite trip with my buddies(courtsey..NETTECH and GOA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT....... I am not going in details about nettech and the networking course which led us to our dream destination because it would be unfair to just make it a mere part of something while it deserves a whole space dedicated to it) and thats the reason why it was different and so special.
So starting it from the very beginning....
The day we got to know that there is some summer course in GOA, our eyes twinkled with joy,
obviously not because of the course and hence it is some course,but because of the oppurtunity we were getting ...the golden oppurtunity of spending 25 days...twenty five days..with friends who are my heart and my soul in no other place than Goa-the place which most of us crave to visit. But, life isnt that easy... the first, probably the biggest , and hopefully the last hurdle we had to cross was to get permission from our parents,which we got after convincing them in the best way we could but,*****CONDITIONS APPLY***** on the condition that they will escort us to and forth Goa. Well it is quite understandable, afterall parents will remain parents!
Finally all set and here comes the respledent and splendiferous GOA...the Goa of our dreams
beautifully decorated with the divine nature surrounding it , it is said that "Nature is a volume of which god is the author" and this place seemed to be one of the perfect and finest chapters in that volume , with its string of beaches and the huge and elegant churches.
Excluding all the details of the GIM campus and the course...which I promise to deal with in due time, after reachin goa our first day out was going to a Cruise .
The day was perfect with blue sky ,green pastures and rattling and howling wondrous sea which had a hypnotic effect on me. We had a short voyage of about an hour ,though it was short we were neither deprived of observing the dolphins nor of the butterflies in the stomach which is experienced while moving on the sea .
The next day out was to the beaches for the adventurous water sports.
Eventhough I have been to beaches umpteen number of times but everytime, it has a magnetic effect on me. No doubt I love the sea...the vast spreading sea...meeting the sky at the horizon and whispering some secret to it.
It forms a perfect picturesque and is a delight to watch.
Now coming back to the adventure sports , we had para sailing,water biking etc.
I was the first one ( and the brave one too!) to go high up in the sky, hands clinged to the parachute which was moving with the boat it was tied to. It was extraordinary feeling being there on top of the world ,flying like a bird with the sea beneath and the sky above , only then I could realise how beautiful the world around us is with such scenic beauty in splendid. I probably cant express it in words, it was fabulous and out of the world.
Next comes water biking, now this was real adventure. Imagine the thrill and excitement we experience on a bike, racing down the roads. Water biking was having the same kinda fun with thrill and excitement which is beyond compare. Venturing the rough sea with high and low waves and making a way out of it with cool breeze blowing, on an apparently self driven water bike is mindblowing. It was awesome!
And as there is an end to everything, even our stay had to end but the trip was one of its own kind,a perfect blend of fun,excitement,joy and thrill. Our recipe of a vacation couldnt have been better than this.
My stay at goa - the place which is beautiful, marvellous and unique in its own way, will always remain a cherishable and exceptionally enjoyable and probably once in a lifetime trip , and I would take this oppurtunity to thank first and foremost my parents , then my friends who form an integral part of the whole episode and last but not the least.. team NETTECH which has all the credit to make it happen. Hats off to you all...........you people rock!!!!
