Goa

It's been one month since we planned the journey. Because of the trauma I'm having I needed a break from everything and give some real time for myself. So I didn't say no to shubayu when he planned the trip. Just some days before the trip we started getting negative vibes. Sad news from kerala. News of flood, rain and all. So trip was in an uncertain. So I started reducing my dream of goa. Because I knew if I expecte too much and and don't go, then I would definitely feel bad. So i started feeling in my mind that if we go it's fine, if we don't go that is also fine.
Finally the day came. All the tickets were booked and confirmed. Only doubt was about cancelation of trains. Thankfully trains were not canceled. But it was late.We board in to the train from chennai central at 5.00 pm. Journey was totally fine but I couldn't sleep. Well all my travel stories are like this. I don't really sleep in trains. Anyway we reached calicut by 5.00. We were supposed to get our next train to Goa at 8.45am for God's sake train was late. And we have got to know that train will reach calicut at 11.00. Yeah we have hell lot of time. First of all we both wanted to have a coffee and a smoke. Find a place were we could do both. So it is August 15. Independence day. I don't celebrate independence day unless we really get independence. August 15 was a day which I was waiting. There were 2 reasons, one is of course Goa. Second is Sacred games. Netflix Indian series 2 Nd season airing date. As soon as we finished coffee we went to the waiting hall and started watching first episode. It was really good. Gaithonde is back. After the first episode we really had to spend time. So we started walking through random roads. Talking each others life stories. When two people travel all their secret stories will be revealed. Same happend with us too. We shared our secrets mostly love life and sex life. In both the stories we both have almost same experience. Well I have more. It was a good morning I would say. I felt like I'm so clean now. No more secrets left with me. And we took all the incidents so real and discussed about it. So I was 75% fine. We went to the beach and took some random roads. Finally we found a hotel. But it was basically a hospital canteen. Had iddiyappam and egg. Again walk continued, we were revealing stories after stories. It was totally fine. We had to spend time again in the Station. It was fine. Finally aagaya our damn train. I was literally telling challo Goa. Train journey.. My God. It was so so nice. But we were getting late for hours. Kongan railway has best sceneries. But we were supposed to reach goa by 6.30 we almost reached at 10.
Train journey went by talking random stuffs, watching sacred games clicking pictures. Train was totally empty. I was counting the tunnels I counted up to 8 and went for a walk inside the train. But shubayu told some tunnels already went. So that fun stopped. Met some malayali people, they were drinking all the time. He asked us as well. We said no. That was a good decision we made. I literally lost my sleep in train. I had to mitigate my sleep by sleeping on the day time. But i did not sleep. Looking into the nature like a baby. It felt different.
Writing this paragraph after so many days so I may skip some moments
We reached MADGAON station around 10.00 pm. Amma called while I was entering Goa land. Hanged up the call in seconds and we went outside. Outside the station somebody was waiting for us. Yeah he was the scooter wala. Shubayu already enquired about the scooter when we were in train. So he came to pick us up and rent the scooter. Shubayu went with him to do the procedures and I waited him in front of the station. I went to the parking area and smoked up a cigarette. I had nothing to do there other than judging the people. I saw a couple standing there for vehicle. I was sure that they were in trouble. Somethings were going between them for sure. Well I don't have the ability to read others minds so I diverted my mind to some other people. It was cloudy and cold. Everybody were busy. Picking up people from the station and dropping off people in the Station etc.
Shubayu came with a scooter. Though we were spending only 300 per day we got a bad scooter. There was no brake and headlight was not working properly. Still we managed to ride it. First we had to do was getting our first beer. So we went to a shop and got two bro code just for 200 bucks. We were hungry as fuck. On the way to room we got some spicy chicken fried rice and some cigarettes. While going to our room we met that scooter boy again. He gave us Tata and he left. Finally we reached our hotel. But things were yet to happen
As expected there was some issue before we checked in. Shubayu booked our OYO room via red bus. And the security was telling us there is no rooms at this point of time. But somehow shubayu called up the customer care and managed to get the room. That was a different procedure of check in. We have got a number via whatsapp and we had to open the lock by giving numbers lock on the door. After 30 minutes of arrival at the hotel we open the door and got inside. It was so cold inside. Room was pretty good and it was a 1 bhk. Everything was there in the house. We took a shower and started eating and drinking. I have heard about bro code before
But never got a chance to taste it. It tasted like a red wine. Since we were so tired the beer took all the energy which were left with us. I got so high. We went to the balcony and smoked up some cigarette. It was a nice mood. We shared our stories and talked for a long time. After sometime I fell asleep and went to bed. Told shubayu to play pink Floyd music. I was literally dead in the bed
Day two
Next day we woke up in to hangover. Took a bath and got ready for the second day. It was a nice climate. There was rain outside and I felt a bit cold. To keep ourselves safe from the rain we wore our rain coats and started driving towards north Goa. It was raining in our entire way towards north goa. We were hungry in the morning and we had to stop somewhere to eat our breakfast. I felt the place was so similar to kerala. Because of the green surroundings and good weather. We stopped our scooter near to a coffee shop and had sandwich and a good coffee. There I have seen a cat walking behind me to get some food. But by the time I had already finished my sandwich. The cat was running behind all the people who were coming to the shop. Finally somebody called the cat and gave some fish. We started heading towards north goa. Our destination was chapora fort. Journey towards chapora was really unforgettable. It was raining all the way and I noticed some people are selling some flower in the road side. I see people standing with a hand of flower and hoping the travelers to stop and buy the flower. I saw them every 10 meters. Including kids, youth, and elder people too. I don't know how much they are getting one hand of flower and what is the specialty of that flower. There must be something special otherwise I would not see a lot of people selling that flower everywhere. We have entered in to a big bridge on the way. It was very huge and colorful. Seemed like the inauguration of the bridge has been done in recent days. Because the bridge was clean. The bridge is been called as Atal setu bridge and It carries four lanes of NH66 over river Mandovi. And I should tell about the view from the bridge. It was something which I have never seen before. Atal setu's height was about 30 meters. Of course it's a big number. We could see cruise ships on the river. Must be some parties going inside. I wanted to click a picture of the view. But we were not supposed to stop on the bridge. There is one more thing about the bride,That I will mention later. With the help of Google maps we have reached chapora Fort. I feel like technology is a blessing sometimes. Because we have traveled entire Goa by using this Google maps. It helps a lot. I was having discussion with shubayu inside the train. My doubt was how would people travel across the country before these technologies came up. Now if you are traveling in a train you will be able to locate places you are in. For long journeys how would people track the location say before 1990's. It's a question though. So we were throwing assumptions like they might have used paper maps. And might have marked each stations once they cross it. For traveling inside the city people might have taken help from the local people itself. Anyway chapora was crowded. We had to climb up to the hill. To see the real view. Lots of pretty ladies appeared on my way. But I was not in a mood to check them out. I just walked away like I don't care. We reached the top and it was all green. A purana fort. Where people actually come to click their pictures. Well I was not different also. I was clicking pictures of the beach which we could see from the top. So chapora fort is situated on  a hill which is near to the beach. And the color of water in the see was amazing. I could see different layers of color. Since it was raining some part of the sea was muddy water. Some portion was blue. I asked shubayu to click my good pics since he had a camera I thought I would get a good picture. But his camera could not satisfy me. That is fine. We had to rush to our next location. We started walking back. There were so many good girls. But I was not in a good mood to check out them. We took our scooter and left the place before it was getting sunny. 

We headed towards anjuna Beach. It is one of the famous party areas. I head about this from the train. One of our co-passengers told about Anjuna. Shubayu took me to a famous bar in Anjuna. It's called 'Curlies'. It's a beautiful place I should say. It's is situated close to the beach and we had to step down from the road  in order to reach the place. It's a complete bar. Lot of tables people are drinking beer. Smoking up.no gender discrimination. I found more ladies than men. There were families too. They are also drinking, eating just a cool atmosphere. We two found a seat and started checking the menu. Prices were a bit higher than normal. I noticed lot of bulbs and led set ups. It is for a better view in the night. It would be really awesome in the night for sure. I wanted to try almost all the beers in goa. So I selected Heineken. I have heard about the beer earlier. It's a standard beer like Carlsberg. It was so chill and we started drinking and smoking. So many things were there on my mind. I wanted to come to goa with someone else. I have dreamt about it. But things won't happen in the way I wanted so that trip is gonna be a dream for ever. I hated when I saw couples. That time my mind goes somewhere I don't want to. Well Its time to change the steering. The view was really amazing. Drinking chilled beer by looking at to the sea. Awesome experience. We had to move to our next view point. So we paid the bill and left. But while paying the money we checked the bill again. They have added some money for a mineral water. We did not order mineral water. And we asked the bearer to change the bill. He said it was a mistake. But I didn't believe that. While leaving I saw a bunch of guys entering in to the bar with a boat bluetooth speaker. That speaker was really big and they were playing it in the full sound and music was a party music. Yeah they were chilling. 

Our next destination was Aguada fort. We had to travel a lot to get there. Since I'm writing this blog after 2 months I'm definitely missing so many things. The time we reached Augada fort it was already 3.00 in the afternoon. We parked our scooter in a payed parking place and headed towards the fort. There some people were waiting us. There were some guys who were trying to convince us to join their girls party. So we can just expect what kind of party it would be. We may get chance to fuck, at the same time we can get fucked up too. We said bye bye to them and headed towards our destination. While going I was thinking about the party only. Like we pay them money they will take us to a bar and we can drink, while drinking some random girl would be next to us and smiling, and the next seen would happen behind the bar or in some bed room. Things didn't happen anyways. So we reached the fort, ticket price was around 25 rupee. But personally I didn't like the place, good view was there but too crowded. I couldn't enjoy the place. I see selfies and personal photographer's of girls everywhere. The place is having a lighthouse and a beach view. That's it. I was getting hungry by the time. Next box task was to find a place to eat. We were searching for a cheap hotel where we can eat. But all hotels were big. Seemd too costly too. The hotels in goa are basically restaurant and bar. Where you can eat and drink. You can smoke hukka with different flavors eat good chicken or whatever you want they will serve you good imported and domestic beer's too. Only if you are ready to pay whatever amount you see in the bill. If you are drunk enough you can find extra ordinary items in your bill. They will add things you didn't order. Normally people won't check the bill in goa. They are there for a vacation and would spend any amount for anything. Along with the fake bill people pay tips too. I'm not generalizing the whole place but this situation is live in goa. Because we have also faced this situation in a reputed bar.

We found a reasonable place to eat. This restaurant also bar attached one. We didn't have liquid cash with us. Shubayu went to take out the money and I started searching what to eat. I finally found same fried rice in the menu. Since I didn't like the price and food I ordered fried rice. He ordered something else too. As soon as we stepped out of the restaurant we wanted to go to a beach and drink there. Thankfully there were two good beaches at the same place.
