Gokarna 2013

Me Tina and Rakesh .... A long awaiting trip and a promise to myself that I will visit here once a year come what may.....

The plan had many ups and downs starting with the thought that Payel will join then came the thought of dates there were many confusions there too like adi's birthday then my business meetings .. And what not .... But nothing could stop me from coming here .. This is the place where I be Me....

Well there may be some confusion in the story telling part of the journey because I am writing it in Gokarna..

So out journey started on Friday night we reached gokarna on Saturday morning the bus was a non ac sleeper bus was pretty comfortable we had a double sleeper and a single sleeper by the way as I write I am eating pancakes freshly made with honey and sitting under a tree with low sitting set up... God it's bliss... Anyways so coming back to the journey, we reached around 10am in the morning on the way it had stopped at some place where we had some v spicy rice with coconut chutney.

Once we reached Gokarna it was time to take an auto and reach kudle and so we did, after which begins the process of climbing down the mountain to reach the beach, I was able to hear the sound of waves which was charging me to carry my luggage and walk faster and finally when we saw I told myself "I am here"....

Then we started with the room hunting with heavy luggage of clothes after a long process of hunting we found 1 room with attach toilet and one without the toilet we just said yes and we had a place. 

Then we changed and started the process of ordering food and alcohol ... Lemme skip some part after that coz it's quite hazy. In the evening we were happy high and we went for shopping picked up some stuff, all three of us picked then it was I time to return to shacks and then the WATER!!!!

We came back changed into speedos and popped into the sea it was dark and night and cold and Yay... It was fun. Once we returned we took shower in the open air, felt no less than any beach wear advertisement ;)    

By then it was quite late we ate some drank some and then started the dance ,,, me and Tina and Rakesh trying all lifts and moves to show off later, she hurt her head I hurt my hand but we din stop when were were just badly tired we just dusted the sand off and went to sleep.

It's today morning now... I obviously woke up early saw the beach was just the same but seemed cleaner looked like all that we did yesterday the sea had cleaned it up for me to play again. Then I went to wake up Tina and Rakesh once they woke up and we got ready we came out for breakfast. Tina and Rakesh both felt sleepy again well I did not feel sleepy at all after all how could I avoid a beautiful sunny day and pan cakes and the set up under the tree. Don't have much to write for now.. I am just waiting for Tina to come and we start shooting pictures .... BRB

Well good morning !!! It's Monday morning and lemme bring you upto speed with what happened yesterday so as I was waiting for Tina  ... In no time Tina showed up in a beautiful pink hooded backless dress... along came Rakesh. We ordered for some more food and we started the photo shoot. Ohh before that we played LUDO and tried to get mehendi done which we did not. So now the photo shoot ... We tried lifts and candid shoots though quite pretentious but the photos came brilliant. We could definitely ensure all the shacks were looking at us not just the shacks but the people by the beach and the ones in the water ... It was fun. By the end of it we were tired sweating etc etc... End of it I had severe back ache Tina came handy and she stood on my back and gave me a sigh of relief. After sometime we decided to go for tracking so we came back to our shack or room whatever u call it changed and started walking towards Om Beach ... It was a narrow climb on the mountain and full of monster trees... The photo shoots were on. Once we reached the beach we felt our beach was far better and a u turn and we were back. 

We started deciding what to eat so I had a brilliant wood fire oven pizza with olives and mushroom,,, 

We lazed around for sometime and then we went and sat by the beach played litup candles etc etc ....

Overall a peaceful day, today we will return to Bangalore at night got up in the morning freshened up and then came to eat sitting by the sea shore gazing at the waves and drinking ginger lemon mint honey tea. That's all for now we will do some more photo shoot today and then relax will finish the rest in the bus.

Well now that I have reached Bangalore and lying on my bed at home lemme complete from where I left... So in sometime Tina and Rakesh came along and then some more food. I thought of painting which I did, came out well I was pretty glad. Rest of the day we just wanted to be even more lazy and eat and sleep etc etc and be in different shacks that's exactly what we did. Along with lots of pics and poses.

Then came time to pack and comeback home after packing we somehow had an extreme urge to go to the sea again so we promised we will go next time ;) after all I will come here every year ...
