Vatoorem

What a trip to end the year with. This one was due for a long time. Vatoorem again what else, the name sounds familiar, isn't it? All of us really wanted to be there again. And was planned for the 29th Dec . This time me and Anup made it a point that we dont have to go back to the village from the camping site again to get anything for that night. This time we had Neil with us " Neil is Anup's Cousin from US. We all call hime "Avooiss" yes he has this strange was of reacting. Sac could not make it this time, the reason being he wanted to keep all his stamina for the 31st night party. We are going to party again Bro....I had to arrange for a guy from my village who would actually do some fishing before we were there. So there was BABU "Abhay" this time with the us and Minu another guy from my village. Babu is the All man show for the party. Me, Anup and Neil reached mashem at 5 o clock and by then they had already cought some fish for the curry. Once we were at the camping site we had to walk through the forest and then through the slippery rocks. Man that was some experience. One wrong foot and you are sleeping on the bed for the couple of months.Our dude Neil got some cuts to take back home the memories of Goa. We saw Babu and started walking and by the time we reached there it was time to go back and through the same route. It was getting darker and i should admit all of us were scared. on the way back we had to walk through the forest again and this time it was dark.. and we thought we were lost on the couple of occassion and you know how do u feel when you get lost in an Unknown forest in the dark.... Finally we managed to find our way back to the car and then was the most difficult part. to take all the things down to the camping site and there was quite a lot to carry. Finally we all were down at the camping site . And then all the fun started. Cooking ... yeah we did some Barbeque. we carried some chicken and some fish just to be on a safer side in case we dont get a catch.. Finaly the party was on and the smell of the chicken got us all going and some late latifs joined us at 10. But it was fun . cooking was fun. Well i shouldn't forget to mention this, We had our Chef Anup with us. Can you believe that. I was shocked too. what say Anup? The food was awesome and then came the best decision of the day. we decided to go back to my native to have a good night sleep and on our way back home Babu had this strange idea of stealing some Tender coconuts and doing some fishing again. and we actually cought 10-12 crabs and stole some 10 coconuts. and surprisingly nobody was feeling sleepy even till 3.30 in the morning.. I dont have any good pics this time to upload though. But one pic i want to put here . this one was taken at 2.30 a.m.

this one was taken at 2.30 in the morning
