It
was august and my friends and I were standing at a tea stall discussing about
general topics and having fun altogether that is when we decided to go for a
trip. We were hunting for a place where we can have fun and relax at the same
time. We wanted to get away from the city life. We all wanted to go to a place
where we can enjoy and also spend some time with ourselves in the silence.
The
place was fixed; we planned to go to few beaches of Konkan. Four of my friends
and I set out for the trip the following weekend to the beaches. Mayank, Niket,
Aditya, Abhishek and I booked a car and began our trip.
We
left Pune at 6:30 in the morning and drove our way from village to village with
the aid of google maps. We also took couple of wrong turns but veered back
ourselves on the right track. We reached Tamhini Ghat and it was really
beautiful. Clouds were running parallel to the road and the whole ghat was
green. There were also various falls that were visible on hills because of the
recent rains.
We
stopped at couple of locations to enjoy the scenic and fantastic beauty of the
lush green ghat. We drove through the ghat and had snacks at a small shop in a
small village. We again drove for few hours and finally reached our first
beach.
It
was serene and the place was also not very crowded. It was a treat to watch. We
rushed to the beach and took a dip in the sea and spent the entire day having
fun on the beach then came the night and it was all calm. We could feel the
cool delightful breeze blowing across our face. It felt like mother’s hand
caressing your hair and you start to feel relaxed. All of us took time for
ourselves and spent some time strolling on the beach feeling the touch of waves
on feet that were coming harmonically to the beach.
Lights
of boats in the vast sea seemed so small yet so determined. We didn’t even come
to know when hours passed and how we lost ourselves in the sea just by standing
on the shore. I remember every bit of that fantastic trip clearly.
After
the stroll all five of us set for dinner and the food was just impeccable and
the company of good friends and old stories makes everything taste better. After
dinner we walked on the beach and discussed life, future and made plans.
Without
doubt I can say that it was a fantastico experience. The memories of the trip
are etched in my mind as if it happened yesterday. It was really an awesome
trip and I am glad that we planned it without any second thought.
