Xcllnt Road Trip!

Well... the Trip rocked!

This trip was planned on Wednesday evening... We started callin up people on wednesday evening.. Got lots of yesses & lots on Nos!
We landed at the figure of 21 people. Ofcourse most of the people said they would let us know by Thursday.. so basically we had 10 people who confirmed that they will come on Wednesday night...

Thursday morning, I wake up with the Good Ol' Ultra High Freq Yelp of Neo! Aah.. Nice start to the day by cursing Neo..stupid &%*&#*&$# dog!
Oh well.. I check my cellfone.. Get an SMS from prad sayin he can get a bus for Rs. 4150. also get a MSG from Adi sayin he can get it for Rs. 4500. So i tell Adi we can get it for cheaper. That gets settled. Then, through out the day, we contact people.. a few ppl back off.. a few more people join in...Its afternoon time. Rcq and me tired of doin woteva little IEEE work was left, head to the army grnd to see the 3rd Cricket Match our team was playin. We land there to find out that only 9 players had arrived that day.. so we were like subs:-) luckily it was batting side;-). An xcllnt match.. Great work by Atul.. He really kicked some ass! Really close match... It was nice to support the team! Headed to the juice centre, enjoyed some Lime Juice(That was the only thing available coz of the power cut!)
We tell prad to go ahead and book the bus at 4150. This is at abt 4pm. At 5pm we get a call from Prad. He says that the bus we were to get at 4150 is gone! The chap gave it away coz we didnt confirm in time. Prad tells us that the bus will cost abt 5000. So we had a new problem we tell prad to negotiate and get it for cheaper. At 5:30 prad tells us we can get it for 4800. We were still now happy.. we tell to get it for cheaper. Basically the travel agent didnt have any buses & was callin up other chaps he knew to get it for cheaper. Meanwhile, we call Adi & ask him if he can get that bus at 4500 or cheaper.
At 6, Adi tells us that the bus is booked for 4500. We call prad and tell him to tell this chap that we got it for cheaper. This very moment, we have people backing out & a few ppl joining in, with a figure of 22 people confirmed. I give Rcq the list of people & he heads home.
I head to the hostel... All relaxed, listening to music. When Rcq calls me & tells me.. Adis chap cant get the bus! Freaky time! We have the people, the location but no means of travel!!!
But I was chilled out as usual. We called prad & told him to get the back to the other chap. Prad was scared coz the chap was really pissed coz we sed no.. the chap had been callin travel agents all over to get us a bus, & when he got one prad told him no! So, while prad went to talk to the travel agent, i was chilled out listenin to music in my room..
At 7:15 i get a call from Prad sayin teh chap has agreed.. That was great news.. he also wanted a deposit of a 1000bux. Prad calls & asks whether i have any cash. Since i was equipped with an ATM card, and a recently updated balance;-), i came to the rescue! I withdrew 1500 jus for safety sake, bought a ticket to Panvel and went to the stn where i had to wait 15mins for the freakin train to arrive!
Well, finally arrived at Panvel, met up with went to travel agent & got the bus finally booked for Rs. 4800, with a deposit of 1300...I head back to Nerul, meet up with Gautam, have a tea while he has his smoke...We wait for Shreyas coz he was plannin to back off.. haha he had a talk with us & was back on board:-)....
I head back to my room jsut when im about to sleep i get a msg from Adi sayin he cant make it! Oh well... He tried his best.. parent troubles...

Next Morning, I wake up at 6:30am, meet up with Gautam, & head to college by 7:30.. Prad was teh last one to arrive at 7:55..
We get into the bus & the trip has begun! It was amazin.. Finally the Comp class had gotten together to chill together!:-)
The bus ride was awsum.. people cracking jokes, singing songs.. we played killer.. that was fun...
We stopped on the way at Wadakal, had some vada & Tea...The place was a nice change from ur usual hotels. haha it had a Hilarious Sign sayin "Moothari Kadey ---->" & the wierdest Gents urinal.. hahahha we were laffin our arses off!
Our 1st stop was Birla temple. We reached there at 11:15am to realise that it opens at 4:30pm! So we headed straight to Kashid Beach, reached there at 11:45...
Amazin beach very clean.. Felt like one of those Chennai beaches...
Some people changed to shorts, i didnt carry anythin! not even a bag! So, i chucked my wallet, glasses, keys etc into Sanjays bag & headed for the water where everyone was already enjoyin!
The water was awsum.. rode the waves.. Amazin xperience!
By 1:30 we were hungry.. We had told people to get food. So, we had a bit from everyones dabba...Rcq got some tomato rice.. hogged that:-p & also hogged some macroni from sheetal... Also ordered some Omlette pav there... hogged!
After that i lazed on a Hammock while the others played Dog & the Bone...Then they reverted to box cricket.. I lazed arnd for 1 match & played the 2nd.. it was great fun! Prad got all serious abt the game.. idiot..:-D
While playin Box cricket, we were usin a stool of one of the shops as stumps.. Gautam the great chucked the ball at the stumps gettin sumone runout & also chipping off a nice plastic chunk from it! the chap got pissed told us to pay 100 bux for it.. we told to shove off & continued to play!:-) we were on vaction.. the last thing we need to do is fight with the chap for a stupid plastic stool!
After 2nd Match, we played some Dodge ball.. awsum fun! we played that for an hr.. it was great!:-) Rigil was totally fagged out at the end of it! haha he could barely stand.. The girls teh went changed & we pushed off to Birla Temple...
Birla Temple was Truly Amazin! It was an awsum temple.. very clean.. amazin sculptures of teh gods... for some reason it reminded me off college.. but so does everyother temple!
We then headed back.. return trip was fun.. hahahhaa Rigil was as usual pulling sheetals leg.. & me as usual was joinin him in teh same!:-) We stopped on the way back at Wadakal again & bought Vadas for everyone... the driver drove like a madman... we reached in 2 & half hrs! it rocked...Reached nerul at about 9:20pm.
