The 'Missing' Trip

WARNING: Its very long!

I was told by my parents to get ready by 1.45 so that we all can leave around 2. I was pretty sure there is no way we will begin the journey by 3. So, I was as usual crapping on net when my father shouted at me and asked me to get ready else all will get late due to me. I said fine, I am getting ready and went off, I was ready by 1.30. I had lunch and around 1.45 I see not even a single species half ready!

Its 2 and I ask my mom, aren't we supposed to get out now and she says- "I am going to beauty parlour, we'll leave at 3". At this point I knew, its going to be 3.30. I came online again to crap more, stayed till 3, crapped around for half an hour roaming in the room and around 3.45 we were off. One thing that struck my mind is damn, I missed the sunset!

We, the three families reached Panchghani around 6.30 and went to Parsi point, every time I go there, I get to see something new and I wasn't disappointed this time also. Hell, I ain't talking about girls, I am talking about nature! This time the colour combinations made by the sun and clouds and the mountains, mesmerising, it was like a dream come true, thing I used to see in dreams were right in front of my eyes!




We could visit only one point as I made all of them late, oh wait, it was the aunts I guess, doing make up and all. After reaching hotel I said that I want to go to market. Last time I visited Mahabaleshwar market was probably in class 4. That time I said to myself- "This is where you should come for honeymoon". Well, things have changed a bit, its more crowded now and the beauty has been hit!

I knew going to market would make me frustrated but I couldn't control myself. I just had to go there, watch couples moving slowly with hand in hand. It hurts! Thank holy devil, there were 3 families, I could spend time alone whenever I wanted to without my parents bugging me! Played a bit in so called casinos, after winning some my father asked me to cash it, I said no, I am going to play will the last coin lasts and yeah, all coins used up! After playing and observing people walk hand in hand and looking at the cute new born kids, the future candidates to make me frustrated, we went back to hotel and had dinner.

Bed time, disaster is that my father booked only 2 rooms as only 2 families were supposed to come, the 3rd family made all the mess, in this season its impossible to get any room in any damn hotel with 10 times the cost! Solution- Extra bed, which is put on the ground and then- I had to sleep with 3 kids with an average age of 10. Call me paedophile, I care a damn! Meanwhile, when I was asking the adults to make noise as we have come for fun, a guy comes from behind and says "We aren't able to sleep, we're a couple so please don't make much noise". I was about t say "Yeah, just say you want to make love so you need to concentrate!" but had to cut that.

After I woke up, mom asked me to take a class 7 girl to the market as she wants to drink and eat something, wow, mom asking me to take a girl to a breakfast date! What the devil, that would make me a paedophile, if sleeping with 3 under age hasn't made me yet! Anyway, the plan was cancelled soon as people were in real hurry!

Now the journey begins, don't know how many points we went to, how many kms we had to walk and how much time I made the most of the cool breeze! One thing that I will remember forever is when I was at Elephant Head. I saw a fog getting formed and rising up, none except me and my father noticed it, when said to rest, they weren't interested! Such is their passion for sight seeing! I waited for it to rise high and at one stage, it became stable. By this time, rest started to leave, my father also started calling me. I said I will wait for some time, you guys start to walk. To my surprise, a part of the fog started to rise and damn, it made shape of heart! I took the picture, I just couldn't believe what I saw. Nature also knows I am in love! :P



After all the sight seeing, we went to some strawberry garden where I did some go-karting, which was fun. People had some strawberry shake but me not being a fan of it, went for chocolate. From there we went to have lunch, had pizza and clicked few pics, it was cloudy. As soon as we got out, sat in car and started, the rain also started. The plan to Sherbaug was cancelled, so was the trip to Table Land. No problem, next time we will go there but travelling in rain at that place, its something one can not miss!

All the time I could hear adults talk everything but the place we are visiting and the beauty of it. They were talking the same thing again and again which made no sense. When they were kids, they never had problems with such things and now they are adults, there is ego, jealousy, selfishness and what not! I just hope I don't become any thing close to like that. I just hope I continue making friends and behave in the same way forever!

That's all, after that we came back home, to see there is power cut, power came and then went off again, it came again, again went and this happened frequently, just as frequently as sanjay salman gets behind the bars only to get out of it!

Wondering why the topic is "The 'missing' trip"? Well, its simple, guess what was missing? Guess Guess? Guess what was missing! give up? Well, it has to be a girl, in such a romantic place with damn romantic weather, you gotta have a girl with you! :P
