| Happy people :) |
With
a hectic schedule and days full of tiring work and responsibilities, I chose to
hit the high side of life by accepting this proposal from one of my junior to
join them for an exhilarating trip to the longest drivable beach i.e Mandarmoni. A night before our journey we gathered at
Lake Side, just behind Gymkhana to do the necessary planning, booking and the
excitement began that time itself. So, I was the senior most in the group,
others being B.Tech and M.Techs. Since I had been to the place earlier, I took
the initiative to book the cab and divided other responsibilities with the rest.
We started at 11:30 pm on 27th June with some amazing tracks, thanks
to Ritvik for the superb collection, it added elements of joy. The driver was a
fun guy too since he was driving safely as well as by being a sport to all our
non-sense. The only thing that was suspicious was the presence of Police every
4-5 kms in the highway road that we were travelling into. In a way I felt safe
because of the presence of Police and on the other hand intrigued by the
thought. A white Sumo following us and playing with the speed of car to match
ours also added to the experience. I was li’l scared but I ignored it.
Throughout the journey, we were cracking jokes, singing songs and feeling
awesome. The roads were quiet and empty, cloudy sky, cool atmosphere was making
me feel as if there is much more to the life than what I am experiencing
already.

After
some time, we reached to a place that was desolated, as if there lived no
people yet there were constructions. We saw at a distance, there were two cars and some
people. When we reached there, we were told to stop. It immediately
filled us in suspicion. Thank God, there were two policeman and they were
looking for something. But still we were in doubt, as to why at 2 am this kind
of thing is happening. The guys went out to speak and we were sitting inside.
One of the policeman who was smoking, constantly trying to look at us. We were
wishing to scurry from this place asap. But our stupid driver, who was fond of
talking, was talking to them for unnecessary amount of time. Anyhow we started
from that place to continue our journey. By the way, there was a loot in bank
on the same day, that’s why this kind of search was going on. We covered 110
kms and were about to reach our destination. We were talking about ghosts that
time and god knows what happened to our driver when he suddenly put off the
lights of moving car and said,”Dayan bulaun kya” (Shall I call the ghost?). We
realized it was all dark, we did not know where we were that point of time. It
looked as if we are amidst some forest where there is no civilization. For once
we thought he was joking and he put on the lights, we burst into laughter but
he did the same again, and everyone got suspicious (Beacause of my love of horror movies, I thought he is possessed or something). We changed the topic and
praised him for driving nicely and he got going. Phew! We reached our lodge. The
place was good and we could hear the sea waves but did not go to see it as we
planned it to go during sunrise. So it was 2:30 am and we did not want to
sleep. For 1.5 hours we talked and had some fun. We played games and had a
great time. The time flew in seconds and there we were at the amazing view of
nature. The vast sea, cool winds, mad clouds and we were there alone. From
dark, it was becoming light.
The
view was mesmerizing.

The peaceful atmosphere brings a sense of relief to one’s
soul. The vast sky and unending sea
shore made me feel like I am nothing in this universe. My existence is
inversely proportional to the expanse of this sea or this sky. The mad clouds
were at their best sometimes channeling out the rays of sun at a distance looks
like it was a cosmic experience. We lolled on the sand, played Frisbee, did
some crazy things. Listening to the waves crashing on the shore, I could drive
away all bustling pressures. I felt life.
