Last weekend, I went with my team on an overnight trip to Konkan. We left at 545 am from office, reaching Nagaon, our base for the night by 10 in the morning. We refreshed, then went to Alibag where we enjoyed a lovely horse carriage ride through knee deep water to the Fort.
The next morning, we visited Kashid and Murud, and the amazing Zazeera Fort in the sea, taking a breathtaking sail boat ride a la SRK in Swades. Enjoyed the company of our guide "Sahil of the 27", affectionately named so because of the way he called us "27 waale".
Played volleyball with our very own "international player", followed by some cricket and frolicking in the water. Exercised my portfolio photographer skills. Walked on the beach collecting sea shells which were promotly discarded when found to be alive. Handled the rocky outcroppings at Kashid with not much grace, investing a handkerchief in the bargain! Took some sun on the cotton ka zhula, ran around with buckets of water, built a bonfire in 30 mins which took 5 mins to burn out. Ate lots of fish, with and without curry, and then extremely cold ice cream which refused to come out of its pack! Listened to "4 wajta kombda oradla, saku geli panyala..." to our hearts content on the way back, finishing off with an awesome dinner of Chinese Alu Paratha at Lonavla!
Lots of memories... some good, some bad, some of those that were missed, some of those that will be missed... Lage tumse mann ki lagan, lagan laage tumse mann ki lagan... The song played in my ears as we pulled into Pune and I thought about Konkan and my 2 days spent in it's lap...
