Walk from Candolim to Calanghute

After the Innova got royally bashed on the 31st of December,our plans of going to Candolim beach were shattered.

The next day,we decided to give the car in the Innova showroom and then took a City Taxi for 600 bucks and reached Candolim.
Well well now what to say about the beach.Our guys were mighty impressed with all the lovely ,semi clothed(to put it decently) firangee babes.
We immediately took two relaxing chairs and a garden umbrella, purchased all the necessary apparatus(beer,wine etc) to enjoy the beauty of the beach.The water was serene and wild and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the sea water.

Our guys were clicking pictures in RDB style and jumping with the waves of the sea in the so called ‘ROOBAROO’ style.

Kim was dancing away to glory on ‘Loose Control’ losing his control completely,unaware of the surroundings and enjoying the melody.White Ipod and the blue sea was an amazing concoction.

After getting fully exhausted and tanned by the beach,we headed for the ‘Monico’s Shack,who took almost an hour to serve us something so pathetic that it was totally unedible.

Now Innova had to be bought back from the service center.None of us wanted to leave Candolim so soon.Sanjeev acted as a martyr and said that :

‘Tum log enjoy karo yaar, main jaake le aata hoon Innova.sab log kyun chale”.

Everyone else readily agreed. Manish who was enjoying the bikini babes for a long time now ,felt that he has nothing better to do now ,as he could not enter sea becoz of his damaged condition,and so decided to accompany Sanjeev.Akshu also decided to go with them

Now it was Kim,Nitin and myself at the beach.Kim jumping up and down listening to ‘Rang de basanti’ on his ipod and admiring his new found love.Me enjoying every sip of the wine/beer and Nitin oggling at each an every babe.We were doing this till 6:00 p.m. by which time our stomach’s started to growl for some fuel.

Kim wanted to spend each and every minute of his time with his eternal/seamless love.Nitin and me went to eat something.

When we reached the beach,we were informed that we need to reach a shack called ‘JOLLY JACK’ and the walk wud be extrememly jolly as the walk was a mere a 15 mins one.

We happily started treading the path, in the dark cracking the silliest of jokes and laughing all the while.Nitin was our guardian at this moment.We kept walking through the seaside for almost ½ hour and cud not see Jolly Jack anywhere in the vicinity.

Legs started to ache.I could not inch a step further on the sand and was totally frustrated and fatigued.

Aarti: ‘Kitnaa der aur chalna padega.
Nitin: Aarti,dekho who blue board,’Idea Cellular’ ka hai kya.
Aarti: Nahin Nitin,koi board nahin hai.pata nahin kitna aur chalna hai.Yeh log aa nahin sakte the kya yahaan.Hum log ko itnee door kyun chalna pad raha hai
Kim: Aarti,sanjeev ne bola,hum aa jaate hain,lekin maine hee kaha nahin 15 mins hai,hum log aa jaayenge.
Aarti:15 mins na.Piche aadhe ghante se chal rahe hain hum log.mere paer mein kaanta chala gaya hai.

Phone rings…….
Nitin picks up the phone:

Sanjeev,who jhaalar waalee lightdikh rahee hai kya.Arre lekin who jhaalr tho sab jagah hai yaar

Aarti thodee see door.Tu aisa kar,apnee sandal pehan le na yaar
Arre mere sandal toot gaye hain
Tho le mere waale kitto pehan le.Main chal saktaa hoon
Nahin.
Main keh rahaa hoon tho sun lo.Pehan lo.
Nahin
Nitin throws his chappal in the air.Ufffff…hadd hai yaar.Ziddi ho tum.

Kim and me look at each other and are amused.

Then we started walking again trying to figure out where the Idea Cellular billboard was.

Sanjeev calls up again in a worried tone and Nitin picks up the phone

I get very angry and ask Nitin to give me the phone.

Sanjeev tum log aa nahin sakte the kya.Hum log kitnaa door chalenge.You just do not realize and I went on and on and on.

After this I give up and sit on one of the planks of wood by the beach.A nearby shack owner walks upto us and gives us direction on how to go about reaching Jolly Jack .

Just when she was about to leave I uttered:

I cannot walk anymore.I had just said this much that the lady starts speaking again:

Arre kya re ,itnaa kya,himmat rakhne ka na .
Idhar hee hai na.Jaa…..

When we were just about to leave Kim speaks:

Chal na aarti,jaldee chalne ka na…..To this,our Mr.Social Nitin,says:

Nitin:Kya yaar,thodaa dhyaan rakhnaa chahiye,kee aaspaas koi hai ya nahin.She was trying to help us and tum lage uskee acting karne mein.Yeh theek nahin hai.

Kim:Haan theek hai,I am sorry(sulking).

Aarti:Kya Nitin,hameshaa kyun daante ho.theek hai bol diyaa tho bol diya.Sabko funde dete rehte ho.

Nitin:Theek hai yaar,ab padosi ko jaake tho nahin bolta na,apnon ko hee bolta hoon.Chal I am sorry.

Kim:Mujhe theek hone thodaa time lagtaa hai.Its fine.

And we start walking again…….
Finally we managed to reach Jolly Jack.Food was quite good and wine and beer ofcourse was pretty good.This was our last supper at Goa.We had a great time cracking jokes/fooling around.

We sat there for almost 2-3 hours and were quite unhappy about the Goa trip getting over,the next day.

All I would say ,is that this walk was just one of the most memorable moments of the trip ,but there are so many more cherished moments,which has made this trip such a lovely one.The nostalgia of Goa shall linger around for a long time.
