Well just as any other Saturday night, along with my friends in a bar, was drinking away to glory.. Was a little excited for the next day to come but with a bit of frown. It was past 11 PM and we started moving towards my friend's place to crash. Past 12 started the flow of calls wishing me for a brighter day and a year ahead.. It was my BIRTHDAY.. By the time i hit the sack, it was 2 AM with bodies filled with liquor and few with weed, lying peacefully and annoyingly snoring next to me.. As usual, I woke up with a very bad hangover and fled hurriedly to my place only to see my brothers eagerly waiting for me at home.. they wished me warmly an so my day started, pretty well i should say..While on my way to a Temple to pray for world's peace and happiness (Just kidding, prayed only for myself and my family) I got a call from Munni wishing me a warm bday and asking me to come to the railway station to see her off as she was going back home(Goa). Also that i was getting a bday gift too : D .. It was routine for me to receive her and see her off, every time she came to Bangalore. 70 out of 100 rs was spent on chocolates ans misc.. so there i was at the yeshwanthpur station with 30 rs in my pocket waiting for the train to depart. Accidentally there was a technical problem and we were told that the departure would be delayed by an hour. Well thought we should give her company until the train moves an so we were on the platform chatting non sense when i suddenly realized i din get my gift from her yet. When asked about it she said come along to goa, every expense of mine would be taken care of.. I was like yea sure.. play along lady! i have frenz waiting for me at adda with a cake.. but she's not the kind who would just let me live in peace so she started pestering me come along. Well not gauging the depth of the situation I asked to first buy me a ticket and then would go along. Well... she went and bought it. HOW THE HELL COULD SHE????? I had no choice but to call my bro an tell him that i would be off to goa. Well when i did that, his first sentence was... Taagunnava ??? (are you drunk???) :P well i said my frenz were off to goa and one of them backed off for some reason and that there was a sea available for me.. I guess he too was in the same shock as i was an he finally said OOKK.. The train finally started and there i was looking out the window and trying to figure out what had exactly happened a few mins ago.. I was speechless, Mind blocked and completely NUMB.. Thats how my Journey to Goa started with just 30 rs, a cell phone and an empty wallet in my pocket.. Well folks, I survived for 5 days with that money in Goa and even more shocking news for you guys is that 10 rs out of that 30 was left over while i came back to bangalore.. The memories of the journey and my stay in goa for 5 days are still fresh and lively in my heart.. an unknown smile shines on my face whenever i think of those 5 days.. (to be contd....)
