Trip to Mangalore

A jouney with no plans..., no preprations... no thoughts.... I just woke up at 10 AM. With heart full of boredom, no mood of going for regular monotonous work, thinking of doing something to amuze myself.

Distnace 365 KM.. no prepration, no vehicle check up.. no SOS kit with ourselves.. we left for Mangalore. The beauty of road was at its best. Lush green forest all along the way. First 120 KMs, mega highway, We drove furiously at speed of 100-110 KMPH. Break in middle of dense forest with tea, black and fresh oxygen recharged me as never before. In between, for some Kilometers road was like it has never tasted asphalt and pits on road deeper than even my height, but it could't able to bring even slight deplition in our over flooded enthusiasm. We coutinued and reached Mangalore at around 10:30 PM. It was so joyous to see my closest pal Rumit and Arun after a long time. We  moved to his house, which was a way far from our expection. 3 bedrooms, hall, dining room, kitchen and balocony. Our eyes filled with thrust and heart pumping too hard to move our feet when our sight fell on scintilating Blenders pride bottle.

Fatique vanished and body felt lively again as the lips tasted and nose smelled the aroma of the most refined alchohol. We sat till 2, discussing long about past, college days, present in which we are getting fucked off and about most unpridictable future. Than we had dinner and continuied talking till 4. Moments made me realized that no matter how far are you... no matter how long you dont talk, but the emancipation of thought comes with your teenage friends..

Next day was aslow start, my mate Ram was tried and had little fever, but the vivacity in his heart was no where diminished. We went to Infy SEZ campus of Mangalore. Infy, continuing its legacy in infrastructure, was on hill top, giving a view of whole Mangalore city. A big cricket ground, badminton court, food courts, gym,development blocks, a view in cloudy wheather below hot Sun made me happy within myself as to be part of this company. Considering as completion of tough mission, we retured to home and had hot paranthe with butter. Awesum lunch and a long round of talk afterword continued our leisure activity.In late afternoon , we left for beach. The calm and cool breeze, furious water and setting sun. Heart got mesmerised by beauty of nature. Setting Sun created an inception of to be there, forever. we had a long bath, had our favourite rum and few packets of cigrettes.  Moment passed fast as never before. Supressing our desire of to be in lap of nature forever, we moved with a heavy heart to city. We had a delicious dinner at resturent 'Chutney'. Day passed like a dream come true.

Second was a day of relax, with no other plans except to Malpe beach. Taciturn engineers turned to voracious mates. Had a long round of talk from morning to late afternoon. Had a delicious lunch, few packets of cigrettes and fews pegs. Around 2 PM, we left for Malpe beach. Destination was around 60 KM from city, but the way was amazingly beautiful. We passed through MRPL, Mangalore port, NIT Suratkal. After a drive of 2 hours we reached to one of most beautiful beach of the world. Long coastline, immaculte water and cocunut trees all around. A placid beach, but giving all joys of life. To support the globalization, we approched two foregin girls. They were from Netherland, Anika and Michelle, flawless beauties. We offered them a drink and a disscussion about Amsterdam, the unique city. We continued our maverick games as they left.  Clock seems to be stucked, no other thought in mind,  not more pains.., no more desires... Fullfilling all our desire to be a sprint racer, soccer player, best catcher, shotput thrower and a world class swimmer.. we sat down on white sand with raspberry in hand, seeing the best sun of twilight. After its too dark, we left the from the heavan to city. On the way, we spent a hour at Suratkal beach. Rocky beach, with a functioning lighthouse. A perfect place for friends to have unlimited gossips. As we had some more specials plans for night, we left.

At home, we started with usual but never ending sheen round of raspberry. To give a perfect end to a perfect round of drinks, we had pizza and garlic bread in dinner. Talking continued till late night, with a mixed feeling... pleasure of 3 fantstic days of adventure and demise that we have to leave next morning... Next morning, we had a heavy hearted bye with best pal and departed from Mangalore. On the way we had Pav bhaji in lunch. Best pav Bhaji ever had in South India. Way to Mangalore is all in western ghats with river flowing along.  Continuing our maverick spirit, we parked the bike a one point, rush down from road to 100 meter deep valley to enjoy the fresh water. Spent about a hour there, scene was awesome, chilled rapid flowing water.. no souls all around, far from hoi polloi... felt the joy of qurrentine in lap of nature. We left and continued riding tilll late night to reach the RRR villa.

No plans, no prepration.. we complted the one of the most beautiful journey... meeting a closest pal... always in vicinity of alcohol... immaculate beaches.... lush green western ghats.... Moments came and pass, but in last 3 days, we havent realised how many moments we lived....we realized how many lives we lived in each moment.... In last special thanks to my flat mate Ram, who without any heasitation agreed to move to an unplanned expedition with me....
