Goa trip

30^th Sep 2011, Morning 6 AM

Today I got both good news and bad news. The good news was that I was going to Goa with my best friend Sankalp and his family and the bad news was that today was my computer SA. Wish me best of luck because if I mess up in my exam, my mother will cancel the Goa trip.

After 12 hours ……

I am glad because my exam was way easy than I had thought of and now we are ready to go to Goa. Yahoo!!!!!!! We took an auto and rushed to the Majestic Railway station. After we reached the railway station, my Dad called up Sankalp’s father – Sandeep Gupta. We found our way to the platform where the Guptas were waiting for us. I met my friend and was glad to meet the whole Gupta family – Sankalp, his younger brother Vatsal and his parents.

1 hour later

I thought we were going to go to Goa directly, but I was wrong. We had to go to Mangalore first! Mom and dad told me that they couldn’t get tickets in the direct train to Goa. I was happy for that mishap because now I would get to travel one more place - Mangalore. Soon the Mangalore express came and we boarded the train.

 As soon as we boarded the train, I started felling hungry, so I ate 1 packet of wafers. I was felling bored too, because the kids of the Gupta family were just watching out of the window. Sankalp is an artist and he loves to watch nature which is quite unlike me. I asked Sankalp if we could play Uno, but he replied,” Not now”, and that’s the thing which really bugs me about that boy. During the whole trip Sankalp didn’t even think of playing Uno even once. It was tough and boring for me to sit quietly. I have to learn from Sankalp how to do that. 

1^st Oct 2011 - Morning in Mangalore

We got off the train and found an 8 seater taxi. After getting into the taxi, Dad told the driver to go to Kavita Residency. Dad booked only one room for all of us. This meant that there were only two purposes for hiring 1 room. They were,

Ø To keep our luggage.

Ø For taking a bath.

We went into our room and sat for a while. After that the parents asked the kids to take bath first. Sankalp and his small brother Vatsal went in the bathroom first. After some time Sankalp shouted,” prerak! The bathroom has turned into a sea!!!”

I went to check it out, and found something that was horrible! Vatsal was taking a bath by sitting inside the bucket. I knew why Vatsal was inside the bucket, because the bathroom was filled with water, and the bathroom drain was not working. If you ever book a room in Kavita Residency, make sure that the bathroom drain is proper.
