| Tailor made for PIRT International |
After a lot of Mess and Fuss, PIRT's Go Goa Project was executed. With most of the planning done by Shuaib, it turned out to be an economical and yet very Enjoyable trip.
 |
We landed fresh at Goa, as Shuaib had booked Sleepers. The trip started of with a lot of confusion, rite from booking, canceling and rebooking tickets. Even the bus journey from Tin Factory to Bus stand was eventful with a bus breakdown and Shankar and Shuaib Boarding a Bus without Srikanth and Arvind, Later Shuaib jumped out of the bus accompany Srikanth and left Shankar stranded in the bus. With some planning lapse, we reached the bus stand 2 hours early.

Saturday morning, we reached Vasco, and we went to Calangute and hunted down a room to stay and freshen up. There was a lot of Bus riding in goa up until then, as the Taxis and Autos were over priced. Then We Rented 2 Bikes for Rs. 200 Per day per bike. From then on it was all Rock and Roll. Freedom from everything, We did what we wanted and just rode around without helmets and traffic cops. Every thing seemed so easy, without any kinda stress on mind. We enjoyed some water sports at Calangute beach and then we headed to Bhaga at the evening to have a dip in the sea.Shankar who was ill before even we left to Goa was recuperating and felt better after an hours fun in sea.

Night crept and we stopped at all the roadside eateries and ate everything we laid our eyes on, some of them were horrible, yet we enjoyed the liberty. A lot of traveling on day one, and some fun at the beach, Srikanth and Shankar wanted to hit the bed, but Arvind and Shuaib had other plans - Saturday night market. Arvind and Shuaib went to the market and it was a good long ride in the night. To our delight the market was still on at 12:30 AM.

We took our bikes and put our wanderers cap on, just rode with not much on our mind for destination. We visited Chapora, from there on it was more like a crime scene investigation. All we did is ride and question people there. What are the sight seeing spots here? what do we get to see there? how to get to this place? and so on.... We covered a lot of places and some of the interesting places are Anjuna Beach, Vagator Beach and Marjim Beach. each one better than the previous. At last at marjim, the water and the beach was so wonderful that we fell in love with it instantly and decided to jump into it. We weren't prepared for it, Shuaib and Shankar bought shorts form a nearby shop and it was get.. set... wet... From there it was back to our room and then back to the Calagute beach for a night walk.

Monday morning we again took a walk at the beach and went to see the Agoda Fort, Without the bikes this time. Spent some time at Agoda and then returned to our room saturated with Goa. Packed our bags and it was the sleeper that was calling us this time.... Bangalore, we were on Tuesday morning.
PS: There are lot of openings in the Motivating and Planning dept., and Md.Shuab will be recruiting. Shuaib will now head a new department in our company: Risk Management. With loosing Rs.1800 and lot of time in Gupshup, As the Global head, I think he has gained experience to manage Risk.
