My Life(2)

Well, I am back with yet another par of my life. This time I am going to talk about my Trip to Thol Bird sanctuary this January.

It actually happened that as you know I am in my final year of engineering and like many of my friends have a very few chances as well as scope of masters whatsoever as of now.So,this means these are those last 6 months or so of my student life and life isn’t going to be same after this.So,Me and my friends decided “why not go on a one day trip( a picnic )supposingly the last one in our student life.Now at other times we would take our bikes or public transport to some places around (o r rather in)Ahmedabad only,But this time we decide Thol bird sanctuary about 35kms from Ahmedabad with no direct means of transport.So I and Sanchit(Mr. Danuchiotau)decided to take our four wheelers respectively but on a simple condition of sharing the petrol(quite simple with today’s petrol prices).

We were a bunch of 8 people although there was an initial planning of 12-14 people which didn’t materialize owing to various reasons. But of no concern we started our trip with the same enthusiasm that we had at the time of planning the trip.
Sanchit took over the responsibility of the girls group and I had to satisfy myself with my bajrang(boys only) group in the car.I called Krushik(Mr. KD) and Swapnil( Mr. Colour) at my home at about 7:30 in morning and we drove to IIM at around 8:30 from my home(thanx to Mr. Colour and his time) where we had to pick Pritam( Mr. DebDas).After that we and the other car(sanchit) were to assemble at thaltej from where our journey was nonstop to Thol.Meanwhile Debdas who was feeling pity(I don’t know why) for sanchit decided to accompany him and sent Ankita S( Miss Smileforfree) to let us bear something but atleast not Debdas.

Well,what then might have happened with sanchit I didn’t knew but he was alive when we reached thol even with Debdas with him.We reached there by around 10:15 or so and had to find our way in thorugh dreadful road(specially for me with my car having about to be flat tyres).Finally roaming here & there and finding where should we stop,we finally halted at a beautiful place.Imagine a small hill(very small call it a tekro in gujarati),we parked our cars on one side and established ourselves on the other near bank of the lake and let me tell you,It was BEAUTIFUL.
Now,wait I missed out two of our other companions : Ankita P(whom Swapnil call as lolak but I would prefer Miss Laughforfree) & Himani( Miss Powerhouse) who were in the peak of their enthusiasm for some reason or the other. Having girls in a trip has various advantages like you get good arrangement(seating) and quite a lot of food as well.But to tell you that I and Sanchit also didn’t miss out on this and both of our Cars were heavily loaded with various stuffs apart from people.

Firstly we started with KD’s bread and butter (you know its an amazing feeling eating something which KD has brought coz its so RARE) and tea by me and Ankita S (i.e.: by our gr8 mothers).then birds dekhe jo ki ab tak jaa chuke the,but sill visible .We started with cricket as we usually do in tours with me ,Swapnil and Himani playing and sanchit,kd and debdas going onto the other side of hill for some serious cricket. Himani energetic as ever was bowling her heart out to Swapnil & I was made to field but oyye swapnil’s shot was near the lake and in midst of fielding I landed in mud.Crap!! My shoes,socks and pant were not so clean now but I had lake nearby(yippee).i washed the soil and having a tree nearby (as their were plenty of trees) decide to dry myself along with my pant and shoes (keeping them on but obviously).This was the best time to showcase my talent with my guitar(dhn te nan) and I called Debdas to bring it for me and to my surprise,he obliged.I got my guitar ,a tree and some listeners(Ankita 1 & 2 ,Himani and somewhat of Swapnil as well).Well sanchit,Kd and pritam toh cricket khel rahe the as I said. I absolutely enjoyed playing guitar in midst of nature and with few beautiful songs atleast enthralled myself if not all.Then as my shoes and socks dried up I & Himani decided to join danu,kd and debdas in their serious cricket while Colour was left alone with the 2 ankitas.But being out of practice from cricket sincelong,I could see that it wasn’t my cup of tea and I can assure this for the rest too except for debdas who thought that he was the only player between all of us (but actually he only thought).

It was food time then, being a picnic and especially with girls around we had lots of food.So much that even the doggies around us had a heafty meal (Colour does colour to the doggy too).Well to mention, Sanchit’s cake was awesome and so was himani’s gajar ka halwa.My mom’s cooking was as good as always and Ankita & Ankita also had some good gujarati taste with them.Mr. Swapnil also had some tasty stuff but most of it went to doggies (colour colour).

Then it was rest time, the sun was around and it was total afternoon. Sun reflected from over the lake and the atmosphere was so silent and our stomach full. There was a lot of wind too. Buffaloes had come out for grazing and swimming in the water they reached the island in midst of lake where there was grass. Finally their master to our surprise did the same too (no I didn’t mean he ate grass but he was swimming with his clothes held high above water).Was a nice sight and a superb atmosphere. What say, Ideal time for a small nap. Well Sanchit also thought so but we didn’t allow him. We started with playing Uno cards teaching them to almost all coz only I, KD and Swapnil I suppose knew it. But to our surprise others won it.Kd was good, Ankita S was better and me …. Well leave it. Next Pritam who cant take this stuff went out wandering (as he usually does coz he cant be with the group any time except travelling).We then decided to play a game of Housie (actually I was the one who brought all this and emphasized to at least use them somewhat).Himani was the dealer with all her wits was having a good tym with her funny taglines after every number. I was the luckiest of the lot winning by more than double margin (made 50 from my 15) and Ankita P wasn’t bad too (25 frm 15).Ankita S finished up with equal figures and Sanchit was a sorry figure (maybe luck wasn’t by him that day.Kd after losing in the first decided that it was better to join DebDas than too lose more (Bad Decision!!!).

Well I think the later part will be continued in the next writing coz I think this is quite a much for one read.So guys see ya soon nd ya if possible plz do comment if u like this coz u know it helps a lot
