Goa trip

That particular year during diwali holidays I wanted to escape from everyone and everything that's why I planned goa trip, didn't went to my home town, i wanted to ease out monthly target & sales pressure for few days. I have a friend who was there at goa running sack, I talked to him & went there, he was building his sack there with the help of some labours, most of the sacks(restro/dhaba) people take on seasonal basis but the place & name if become famous last over the years, like others my friend babbu also doing the same business. Babbu is a short heighted guy having long beards like sadhus, total ganjeri full high kind of person. I asked babbu where we are going to sleep at night as sack was not in a position to live, he said just there on the other side of of arambol beach, he has shown me far away over the rocks. During dusk he asked me to pick my bag, I told him to take me to beer shop first, I bought 6 cans of beer & left for the other side, he parked his bike near a market from that place we have to walk down around 500 metre along the shore , where we have to climb few rocks also. Sunset was beautiful seems like sun was sinking inside the huge ocean, shouting tides were making more noises with the advent of darkness. Babbu told me to walk fast, we have to reach the place before the darkness. I asked where we are going is there any cottage where you are living, he said no just there into those woods I have my tent, I was totally clueless... On the way he met some of his russian friends, talking about tonight's plan, whether they went in day there or not etc & as usual I was clueless. We reached a sweet lake few yards away from the beach, he told me that we have to walk down up hills on the plateau, I said ok as I had no option at that time. After walking up hills around a km which was surrounded by dense trees and plant totally engulfed with the darkness with the help of mobile torch somehow we reached the place which was known as mango tree, as we reached there some one shouted HAR! HAR! Babbu also shouted HAR! HAR! Again I was unable to understand what is happening with me & my trip. A old man having long beard or you can call a sadhu came out of mosquito net which was fixed on ground with the help.of some surrounding tree & plants, at the bottom of tree there was a lantern, a diya and idols & photos of lord shiva, lord ganesha, maa durga, lord hanuman & lord Ram. A chulha, few utensils, wood was there and smoke was coming out of chulha (stove made of clay & bricks). That sadhu baba asked babbu about me, he has introduced me, then babbu said should I make tea and asked him about the dinner whether he had it of not. Babbu stated making tea over there and told me if I want to get fresh then I can take bath inside the pond which was there beside the tree, babbu told me that water is fresh directly coming from top of the plateau, above this area there was no human access along this small river we can say, so this water is drinkable & better than what we drink in cities. I have to belive whatever babbu has said as I have no option. After full day of travelling and humid weather I wanted to get fresh, bared off my clothes and I get inside a very small pond which made naturally with falling of water over the roots of mango tree which over the so many years a small 3x3x3 ft pond like structure has been created, that particular water of that water body ultimately drown down to the bottom of plateau and form a sweet lake near the beach. So I went inside the pond in which there were small very small fishes are there who were kissing along my body, somehow I made a dip inside and what I felt was never the before experience, it might be the most serene bath of a times, I felt rejuvenated, relaxed, I experienced a pure water which was unpolluted, untapped, untouched by any human, what I can say it was a Pure BLISS. While I was relaxing having fun inside the pond, I heard someone is coming, talking to someone, in night inside a wood sounds generally echo. In few minutes a couple came to that place, I came outside the pond and wore my clothes quickly. Sadhu baba introduced that young couple to us, they were from Germany, babbu asked them for chai, they happily said yes, then baba asked babbu to make chilam and after that to make some chapati. Chai, Chilam, Chapati was the unique concept of there get together, those german couple came with some charas which they offered to babbu to make chilam, they came with some music instrument like a flute big flute, babbu also have a tambura to play and the party begins, Dark Night, chai, chilam, chapati & some.self made music, they were totally transcended into somewhere else and I was just sitting clueless, shocked & amazed along with my can of beers which I had not opened it yet. After half an hour one more couple came there, they were from Czech republic, they were also came there for doing the same thing and I was enjoying the moment along with them as it was the night which I have never thought of, it was all around a different experience, a life beyond as usual. It was 1'o clock in the night both couple finally decided to return, it was full entertaining night for them, I had some chapatis too and babbu asked me to carry my bag, we have to go little up from that place where he putted his tent, somehow I went there, slept on a rocky base on which tent has been kept and giving gali whole inside to babbu, who dragged me somewhere which I never thought of, but when I slept in that particular dark night , I can clearly see twinkling stars between the canopy of trees, I can feel the soothing doing of air, which was touching my body like anything else which I can feel today also, I was completely tired so slept soon which I didn't remembered also that how I slept. Chirping of birds, some melodious sounds were coming inside my ears, different different sounds of many birds making a melodious music, those sounds make me wokeup next morning, those sounds are so beautiful that I even can't explain how I felt, that night & morning was unforgettable, unexplainable I can outside the tent and saw all around surrounded by large trees, rays of sun somehow entering between the leafs of the trees, there was smell of plants, soil, I was into the lap of #nature. Now I can clearly see the trees, the small river, the pond, rock, birds and finally I can say for that trip #traveltome is about finding myself, nature & life.
