Digha Trip
It was a prolonging desire in my heart to go to Digha.
When ppl used to ask me-"Have you been to digha?"...I had to say a little ruefully-"No, but i amay go soon".Living in a wing where there is not a lot of enthu for the trips(infact,we have had no trips in last 4 years...can u believe that?)..Only sometimes me and rajiv crib a lot abt these things...other seems to be in their own worlds(call it rooms/pcs)...
Anyways we might go for atleast one trip i.e. to aquatica /calcutta.
I just came back from an absolute awkward exam of real time systems (timings:6-8 pm)and it seemed to me that i just wanna crash on my bed(i slept for 5 hrs the night before)...In pops a gtalk message..."buddy packup! we are going to DIGHA..taxi booking done"...Even though i was tired,but i pounced on the opportunity and at 3 am we headed to DIGHA.
Its abt 130 km from kharagpur..and takes about 3 hrs to reach DIGHA.Through the foggy night me,khadgi,skm,akm,mohit we 5.... did all kind of bhaat and by 6 am early morning we were at new DIGHA beach(Thankfuly we made the right choice..old digha beach is not that great ...as that is not a beach anymore....!)
We had football and cricket gear with us ...also i think DIGHA is one of the most picturesque beach i have ever been to..weather was just ideal ..
After watching the sunrise at 6 am and breakfast ...we played football for arnd 2 hrs....by 8 am we had perhaps tried all the ways to play football..so as to conserve our energy levels.After the footer we headed for a drinks(narial-paani) break and resumed to play cricket till 9:30...By 9:30 we were all sweating and ready to take a plunge(Some chic/aunty group was also in the waters now..reminding us that water is now ideal to take a plunge in).
As i am the only guy in the group who perhaps has had the luxury of most exposure to females/relationships..so barring me everybody wanted to dive in the ocean.I joined the wagon and we played bit of ball throwing,swimming and floating(using tubes) in the water.The greatest thing about the sea is that u have waves...which provide u with the enormous pleasure,whenever they thud against your body.
By 11 am most of the ppl baaring me were shivering..so we came out took a sun bath and by 12 we were again in the water ..this time we identified another grp from kgp and then started a fierce round of water polo..mohit(being the only person who is a decent swimmer,was our ace striker!)...we were totally exhausted by the end of the game(as ppl summoned all their reserve strength gained at kgp sitting idle :D ) and by 1 pm..we were tottering on our lags.
Ate lunch...and slept like babies under trees..cracking jokes etc....
Watched evening sunset and returned ...
By 9 pm we were at kgp..
I was so exhausted that even after a 12 hr sleep.... i can still feel a sweet ache in my body(and i call myself an athelete in my cv!!)..
Anyways it was a trip to remember and memories to cherish....infact that's what life is all about ...isn't it ?
