The Way It Happened !!!

Sometime during August'15.

Me : " Ae chal na... jau na apan kuthetari trip la. College nantar kadhich ekatra kuthe gelo nahiye. "
She : " Haan chal jau."
Me: " Kuthe jaycha? India ki India chya baher ? "
She : " Baher jau . Thailand Singapore kuthetari"
Me : " Chal. Me ready."

That's precisely the START of Thai trip'16 for me.

Date : 13th Feb 16. 
Time : 6.45 am

Whatsapp ping : Mom(chat) : Gm. Pochalat ka ??
                                        Me : Gm. Ho Kaku. Me pochlo 2 hrs adhi. Dipty land jhali asel. Alyavar sangto ikde reply karayla. 

And the very moment, she is standing in front of me. 
That is the filmy START of the Thai trip for everyone 

And the start also of a very fine 7 day tour with 3 very genuine friends.

All of us Bhukkads for starters. That's the common trait which bonded us straightaway. I know . I am speaking about Dipty too.

We headed straight for KFC and Starbucks. Knowing , but still ignoring the fact that we are not in India. And we spend 1200 Baht the very first hour . The START again 

We hire a cab to our Suvarnambhumi Hotel. And Shalakha - The City Planner sees Mumbai in every corner of Thailand. All the way with 2 girls high on anticipation about the quality of beds in the room and the hygiene. And should I not mention , the way both scolded Tanmay and me for not bargaining against the cab driver. 
( I wish I had option of entering emojis over here) 

The Lobby. I believe, even while reading this, Shalakha would have said -" Aee yaar, kya sahi tha wo hotel. Mujhe fir se jaana hai. Ae chal na Dipty . Jau parat" . No. I guess, she said this even during the trip.

The Rooms. Special mention for the lightings . And the washroom door . And the glass . And the cozy bed. 

Day 1. BANGKOK .  

Lunch at McD (First experience of "Mala Bhook Lagli")-- Knock on the door of Madame Tussauds Museum --Wat Pho Temple( Where we make Shalakha stand in queue) -- Wat Arun temple ( Where Shalakha sends RF Cap for a toss and loss)--The Boat ride( Only 5Baht / person. The cheapest thing we did throughout the whole day.) -- The Photo Evening -- The getdown at front of Thai market -- The Love-for-thai-food-wala-vomiting-feeling experience -- Thai dinner at our room -- Night .

Highlights of Day 1 - Shalakha in half-sleep mode says to Tanmay -  " Agar Dipty wo chips kha rahi hai , toh woh kitne acche honge. Bhook lagi "

Day 2. KRABI . 

Don Meaung Airport -- Flight to Krabi-- Little Home (All White) -- Ao Nang-- Tanmay steals the better-view-wala room-- Indian Restaurant -- Dipty ki Bhendi -- The Beach Side Stroll -- Paani me ki Doobki -- Evening time -- The HillTop-- Raat ko again Beach side stroll -- Tanmay ka Crescent moon at 1.45 am ka gyaan -- Tanmay tries to assist a foreign girl on photography -- Night 

Day 3. KRABI

Chicken & Tupa Islands - Snorkelling - the lunch at island where Shalakha puked - Tanmay and Me playing Hide and Seek with these two on the island - the ride back and realizing we were fooled of an extra ride worth 200 Baht each - Back to Hotel

Handshakes , Hi-fis & Hugs !!! [Part - I]

HANDSHAKES      Admission to KGCE and four years of life to be spent at Karjat . Mentally, I was kind of prepared for the slow, boring , monotonous college life I would have to face . Friends would only be the only thing that could make  my journey worthwhile ,it felt       In these four years , time flew , new faces came in my life , some old faces faded off , while some still hanged on to me through each phase . Relations were made, bonds were formed , various strings got attached , and vice versa too.      This happens with everyone of us , in any journey , still I feel each handshake we make makes a difference to our journey . Many handshakes in the past 4 years of my life, but some brought more much than friendship with them to me.   Time - August 2008 Place -F.E 'E' The first day of my engg. college life , having met a few known faces , I walked in the classroom and took a secluded seat . Lectures we...

For 2013 and rest !!!

A new year , new day but not a new beginning to life !!! Life will continue from where we left it in the past year . N life will follow it's trends this year too, for all of us . Just some nice lines I would like to put forward related to this . These are part of a short essay , from my 7th class Scholarship notes . " Life is not a bed of roses , nor all beer & skittles , nor always full of pleasure , amusement and ease . Ups and downs are bound to occur , but we should all learn from the Japanese , who with incessant , persistent efforts have overcome all obstacles and attained pacific heights in technology field. The failures should learn from them that , 'While there is life , there is hope .'  Remember , positive attitude and not aptitude decides one's altitude in life and helps one reach pinnacle of glory. " If  life was good to you in 2012 , success was what you tasted last year , then do not loosen up. Keep your good work going and continue pu...

The Fall & The Rise !!!

     Having lived through common ups and downs with exams and results throughout school days as any other student , I had eventually tasted 'Success' in SSC when i scored 90+ % . Success brings alongwith itself a lot of things like happiness , good fortunes , joy , satisfaction ,confidence ,etc. But life has it's own terms of dictating. All good things come to an end and so did mine .      Failure struck me during my 12th board exams . Unaware about my fortunes ,  I was living life ,as usual in my own terms . No. of different entrance examinations were lined up during the summer days . Sure that I would live upto the expectations of atleast myself , I was preparing on a regular basis for the exams at home . Exams came and went . The feeling was obvious that i would eventually make it through to a decent engineering college through atleast one of the many cards i had played with. Summer ended with exams taking a leave from my life and along...
