Chase the Sun

The scooty which we had almost lost was still in our custody, so I was happy & relieved. It was Day 2 and we had tattoos on our necks, the idea was to do everything we can. Even when it meant a temporary tattoo, with traumatising the guy with my most irrelevant questions "Bhaiya kab tak hatega" "Nahi hatega to kya karein" and what not, he had patience because I'm pretty sure that he would have thought "Are madam itna tension hai to kyu karwana hai". Well did get the tattoos and now I needed to make sure that it was visible, tough work. 😕😕😕

The second day had lot of things on hold for us so we started early, well who wakes up at Goa at 7 in the morning we did. Got ready, ate (always an important part) and we started for Fort Aguada. The Hindi movies have definitely played very integral roles in our lives and I am pretty sure the place is famous because of Dil Chahta Hai's candid shot nothing else could be placed to be more important. But being shutterbug crazy we clicked pics around every nook and corner of the very small fort. And every time we decided to click some place where there was nobody we did send silent invitation to people with DSLRs to click. Tried jumping over the rocks to get the best pic as we unfortunately we were only two people and the third person was missing for the Dil Chahta Hai click. I infact gave an idea that we could hire someone for that hour for the pics. And yes while moving out of the place two guys asked us to click and we did vice-versa, they tried a conversation with us which we had no interest and they also lost interest once they knew we were from Bombay (I like to still call it that over Mumbai), reasons were unknown at that time but we realised by the next day though.

The next stop was the one which my parents had suggested (Yeah they came to Goa before me)😏😏😏. The dolphin trip which we had just agreed to because it was too sunny & we will at least have a boat ride. Like always when you least expect something to happen I think it is bound to happen & as we were talking random shit (which we keep doing all the time & still not get bored) somebody shouted dolphins, according to the friend she did see a bit but I missed and I was like f**k it would be just the ripples and people just want to be happy (that was a way to console yourself when you are the only one who misses the important things). But God being really grateful they came up again & then again. It was possibly the most happy moment of the trip, getting something without any expectation. Then again we had to fill our tummies and the idea was to go to Palolem for the sunset which approx 90 km far and was voted by lot of people we knew as the most beautiful beach in South Goa. 

Well we got late while eating you can call it fortunate or unfortunate whatever. And at 4.45 we realised we should not waste a second now. We start our scooty ride and decide Google is stupid and maybe we can beat it and reach just before the sunset. As adventurous one can get we started towards Palolem and when we had crossed Panjim around 5.30 some part of our brain told us we were in Goa and any beach would have just as beautiful a sunset we could expect. Palolem was not happening tonight so lets check the nearest beach and Vasco it was. We are just going and Google told us to take the hilly road, though being skeptic I still decided that, it could be the best as we had no clue about why, where, how... After some time what we could is the airport and not the beach. 

We chased the sun but couldn't catch it at the right place and it was smirking at us saying "See Dude, I would look the best today and you won't catch me at the right place and only chase me".
