Goa

I met Mathilde and Maude on the beach some where near Panji. I was so lucky that I found a guy with bike who charged 200 rupees to take me to Panji from Goa Airport. Mathilde's cell phone had some network issues she texted the directions where I must come.
The moment we saw each other, we jumped… me from bike and they from their chairs, we three of us hugged together tightly. It was happy to see each other. Here is the surprize, my mom sends them some home made cookies and sweets which she made during festive season.
we went to the Candolim Beach, it one of the beautiful beach of Goa. It reminds me Gold Cost, Australia. We chilled on the beach, swim, drink beer and stayed in the water until Sunset.
Now its time for a real party, instead we hit a bar or join any party bought stuff from the market and came back to the beach. it was dark by now, but we find a nice spot close to the water where some light was coming from a restaurant. we eat there, we drink beer and enjoyed until we lied down on the sad and started staring at the stars. it was such a precious moment, an unforgettable one. 

We were somewhere on a planet, far away from our homes. I was in different state as they in a country. We were trying to find the faces of our dear ones who we were missing or who must have been missing us. When you find a place like this, with someone who is new for you but understands good, then you start a new journey of friendship and togetherness. Thee bond we make, it teaches us love. I am sure you can imagine these wonderful feelings, you must have felt it in your lives. That was the moment I wanted the earth to stop rotation.


Mathilde and Maude had a scooter on rent and the crazy girl Mad (Mathilde) was driving, Maude was in center and I was in the back. Its called tripling in India. We were lucky that police did not catch us drunk. However, we made safe to the destination.
They were Couch surfing in Goa, they already informed the host that I am going to join them. Gurpreet is a nice gentleman from Punjab. His place is nice.

Goa is amazing...  Wasko D Gamma ruled this city for decades so it’s look is inspired from Europe; northern Indian will not feel it as India. Second, ts a foreign tourist season so you will see lots of international  people either  you go to the beach or the market, you will see just foreigner only. Today we visited old Goa to see Churches and museums.
Everyday is not a lucky day, finally that unfortunate moment came when the police caught us three on the scooter. More bad that our driver, Mathilde was not wearing helmet too. Well, yes it’s a scary moment but requested them to stay calm and I talked to the police officer. I played my journalism wild card, tried to request him that I am a journalist, we are sorry, please don't give us ticket and  its our first and last mistake. Well, they were nice and jusat give us warning and let us go.
