ok its been 2 weeks since i went to that rafting trip and here you go ..
The day started at 5 am with the driver calling me and telling that he is standing outside my gate :) .
Finally at ard 7 we "raced" towards MUMBAI .....
Yes we had this movie to watch at INORBIT , so after a rushed up breakfast (thx God for making women nice cooks) we started for d multi ...
The movie was all twists and turns ... Generally you have twists in a movie , but this was the opposite ,there was a movie in the twists ... After lunch at 3 (Yes almost the whole day gone ) we started off towards Shriwardhan .....
Ard 7 when it was already dark we reached a place ard 100kms from Shriwardhan , since going to shriwardhan at that time didnt make sense as we had to come back to the same place the next day for rafting so instead we went to kashid ...
Kashid is a lovely place , white sands , clean beaches and courteous people . But this time we didnt get a room , The rooms were all booked :( when we had gone there on new years , rooms were easily availabe at that time . finally after much search we found rooms ... and dinner on special request
After dinner , we went to the bech to take a stroll ... as it was a full Moons night ,the tide was high .. the waves looked lovely and the whole shore was visible ... Some snaps ,yes in d dark and then back to the bed ....
Early morning never comes .. though we were supposed to reach the rafting point by 8:30 :) we started at ard 7:30 for a 100kms of unknown route ..
Finally after Vada Pavs and Bread Butters we reached the place ...
and we were the last to reach there :) ...
We were taken to the rafts and given safety equipments and instructions abt how to deal with the raft .
Once the rafting started there was no stopping .... there were around 10 rabids small and big but all FUN ... all thanks to our instructer who let us do thgs which the others didnt even thinks of ...We got our raft overturned , danced on the raft , threw water on others ....
The rafting was 3:30 hrs and by the time we were out of it .. we ll were thirsty ...but the most important adventure was yet to come ... the search for food ...it was holi that day so all the hotel , restaurant were closed ... No highway dhabas , no small time vada pavs ..
Finally after much search we found a place who served us food ... it is rightly said , when in hunger u eat watever is given to u ...We all savored up what was given to us without asking questions,gulping things down with maaza..
Ok .. important things done .. we started back to kashid ... got down in the beach and played in there till the evening ....
Back to room .. nice bath and we were ready to head back to the beach ...
Luckily the hotelguys over there gave us mats which we spread on the beach and sat down for chats which started with ghosts , to gods and then to all topics ....
Good Morning ..all freshened up and ready to Mumbai ..
Again it was vada pavs who came to our rescue ... reached bby ... went to eat at a place in d heart of the city (It took us 3 hrs to navigate through the traffic)...HAd food .. dropped all my frnz there and back to pune ...
And then at home it was time for my culinary skills ... made dosas ...ate them heartfully and dozed off ...
