Happy Trip (Pun Intended)

Alright... So it's been a year that we made the very famous trip.. and Now i have to upload this blog for certain reason which will not be told. Anyways... the date 29th of march 2005, Myself and suren sitting in the stinking room, which had taken the toll on us. Cracking the briefs was just not happening, needed a respite. Finally a bulb lit, and I spoketh 'Dude lets go to Diu.', we looked around, Sanju nodded. Hopped in Suman.

Many people wanted to board on, but we had only two 100cc bikes, so only four could go. Got the bikes repaired and we started at around 10 in the night. Distance 450kms. Bought a Road Map. Filled in the fuel and we took off.. There was no looking back... people thought we were crazy spiff on the small 100cc bikes till Diu. we knew we had to make it, we had to make people envy us, we wanted the beer, the beach, the food from the ocean...

Aah. the distance never got onto us... it felt we were getting closer to the place until the Sun came up... regretted upon the pit stops we had to make.. but well the 100cc bitches can't run that far on one go. feeling cranky in the morning... anyhow we reached Diu around 9:00 in the morning.. booked up a hotel room.. washed our face with beer..aah the feeling, the pungent smell of the Fosters and the Zingaros and the haywards.. Unforgettable... Living in Gujarat does raise your intake level of beer... Damn Gandhi.. Good Gandhi.. atleast if gandhi weren't born in Gujarat... this bike ride would have never happened..

Diu gave me the best adrenaline rush of my life.. when i decided to take a jump between this huge void between the two walls of the fort.. and the depth of the void contained.. rusted iron stuff and lots of rumble... a bit of miscalculation and i would have been haunting all the visitors of the fort.. here 's a pic .. which may not show you the risk and crazyness of the jump... as the dude who took the picture was scared to take it from the tip of the wall..

The fort, The Museum, the cathdral, the cave, the beach, the eye warming portugese girls..feeling = PRICELESS.. so we clicked over 2500 pics in next two days... gobbled up as much sea food as we can... the first pot experience in Diu. everything was so wonderful until we decided to get back to Ahmedabad..

We started around 9 in the morning.... Bad thinking... after all the beer we had... we got completely Dehydrated.. so had to take a nice long pit stop for 2 hours.. The HydroStop. The sun was melting us... Mirages happening.. and it did when one of my friend thought that there was a waterfall right in middle of the road so he sped upto it.. only to find out it was a big white cow... Nothing serious though... We got them bandaged and all and couriered them to Ahmedabad from Bhavnagar.. so now Myself and Suren had to get two bikes back to Ahmedabad... it will be fun we thought... We have the same passion in life... He's like a Brother to me... respect him a lot..

So we took off from bhavnagar by around 10 in the night.. and finally stumbled on the Ass-Grater Road... The 24kms stretch gobbled up 2 hours of our precious lives and numbed our ass.. the ditches were insanely deep... it was mayhem... the dust.. the ditches and the dust... we had to take a nice 45 mins break as soon as we crossed the A.G. road but lay our ass on the Khaat for sometimes... we started again.

Many of you don't believe in ghosts.. we didn't either.. but when we took a wrong turn from Dholka and traversed in a perpendicular route to Ahmedabad.. we journed on this spooky road... 25kms of no human sighting - 25 kms of no truck horn - 25 kms of long bushes and peepal trees - 25 kms or suppressed sound - 25 kms of Hope of staying alive. And it finished..

Finally we reached MICA near around 4 in the morning.. but the experience was wonderful. One stop at Chottas and we were sleeping like babies... and the envy started next day... after looking at all the pics... most of the people in our batch were either cursing us or something.. people termed us as Diuds or Diu Boys... aah.. we had already started to miss Beer.. If anyone wants to take a look at some more pics then lemme know. So listen to that thump of your heart which tells you to piston out to your Favorite destination.
