Gao Diaries : Day 2.

Day 2s. On a 3 day trip.So different, as in from day 1 with unbottled curiosity and day 3 with "quick, let's not miss anything" vibe. Day 2s are more relaxed. Yeah. So we all got up late, 2 bikes were off. Last bunch, 8 fellas, in one van and a karizma. The stupid bike refused to start. Everything was tried (someone even tried to bribe the bike into starting !) but what do u know : use original MS software. PJ. 8 guys stuffed into a "khatara" van.

Now the Van deserves a special mention here. Had it not been for Satya bhai's nerves of steel and his carefree attitude of : "meein to beita rahunga, chahe jo ho", we would be in serious trouble. The guy's got patience. Truck loads of it. But that doesnt really help an old wimp of a vehicle overloaded with 8 guys to climb a steep slope. Had to get down and walk a little. May the Great Lord kill that cop with a bolt of lightining. Lost the way (Yeah Aaseees was with us this time, what a jinx !). Finally found the way to Baga but sweet old Murphy didn't give his law for nothing.

Flat tire. Ankur's IITK mechanical coming to good use. Reached the Beach, finally ! Again in the water. Damn Hungry. Goan food, yummy. Now people had to split up, the van needed repairs, the group needed money (ATM) also some guys went back home for God knows what. Idyled around on the beach. Took walks up and down. Loads of people. Good fun. Back to guest house.

Nine Bar. Nice place. Correction, very very nice place. Allows stag entry, no entry charges, great music, great crowd. Could life get better ? Nah, but it could get worse. They close at 10. Fools. Back to the beach for a while and then off to : wait for it :: ... yeah : SNB. Saturday Night Bazaar. It was like 1 AM and the place is blistering with people, beautiful people ;). Stayed there for sometime. No, didn't buy anything. Back home.

P.S : Satya bhai was awarded "Swarna padak" for driving the van.
