The Holy City !!

Puri Baby!!! As usual the plan was to start early reach early and get sloshed and somehow make it to Puri!! Anyways!! We started as usual at 8 which was fine but before that I want to narrate a story about my Far Pavilion Experience!! Me and Soni had gone there to have lunch and Shreyas had warned me not to spend money and I was like fine I wont!! And then he warned me to be careful about the waiter in the cap who was always drunk!! I was like OK!! So once we reached there on MY bike!!(I emphasize that my bike cos this was the only time that Soni actually sat on my bike ) Anyways once we reached there and had ordered food and drinks the waiter (Lo behold it was the same waiter with the cap) got my drink and was gave me a plate full savory (mixture para!!!: P) and I was like no thanks I don’t need it and that’s when he said “Sirjee le lijiyeh free mein hai!!” I didndt know if to laugh or to get angry!!Anways after having a nice conversation with Soni we ordered Lunch and hers was brought to the table asap but my food was getting delayed by the moment!! So after waiting for an hour or so I asked where is my food?? he replied”Oho sir mein bhool gaya!!!” (I forgot)!!! And he went and got it later on :P which was fine !! Anyway something I though you should know!! So the Puri trip started with me behind Swaroop on Madu’s bike which was fine cos was really tired and as long as he drove it was fine by me!! The fog was amazing and the weather was extremely cold with the ind biting into your face!!! Before leaving Bhubaneshwar I fulfilled my desire to have “The R.D. Woman’s College Chat and Panipuri “. While traveling to Puri we stopped at a dhaba and I saw a beautiful bullet which was painted in Matt black at the engine was and gave it an extremely beautiful look!! Anyways at the Dhaba it was clearly written outside that alcohol is forbidden yet just next to the Dhaba there were two cottages where we were provided with immense amount of alcohol … I didn’t eat here cos was just full on Minute Maid !!! So after having the customary drinks !! and felling warm and nice after the food the whole gang moved on which consisted of Madu,Shreyas,Rishi,Swaroop,Shoiab,Ankit and Aniketh and we reached a place(undisclosed due to certain reasons) and completed our tradition of traveling always to Puri by getting high !! That’s when me and Swaroop kept lagging behind cos I think we both were having the most fun he talking to his girlfriend while riding the bike and me well enjoying the ultra high that I was on !! I just kept looking at the moon, the fog, the emptiness of the road and just tripping in general on nature and its many marvels!! By the time we reached Puri I was sooooo tired but that didn’t stop me from finding some food cos I was hungry as hell!! Anyways next morning we woke up feeling fresh and decided to go towards the beach but after Of course having breakfast!! This was sponsored by Madu as it was still Birthday week!!!!:P Anyways after jumping around the waves for more than 5 hours and thinking about doing what next .Oh and also we had gone around 2 kms into the sea and could see the Temple from the Sea !! Anyways!! Amazing Amazing time we that had in the evening we went the Temple and spent substantial time over there!! And after that we went to a Sea food joint had our fill of prawns, crabs and pompfrets!! By this time only me, Madu,Shreyas and Swaroop were left cos the others had traveled back and we decided what the hell !! Lets DRINK!! I wanted to go to Pink House but on reaching there it was sooo sad with no availability of alcohol that we went to another place which was a basement bar!! It was amazing the bar!!! The food was great and cheap as shit!! So was the booze!! Anyways after being doe with all of this we moved back and went to sleep and Madu decided we shall travel early the next day!! And after a hearty breakfast we did!!! Only to reach around 10 kms out of Puri and sat at this resting place and me and Shreyas were like No more No more!!! Lets go back and sleep and we will travel later on!! We left Puri at 8 in the morning!! Anyways!! Madu with his enthusiastic ways somehow convinced us to get n the bikes and keep traveling. We were heading for Ramchandi where the river meets the sea!! Puri is exactly around 60 kms from Bhubaneshwar!! And the whole trip might take even after making certain stops at least 3 to 4 hours maximum. This is an interesting piece of trivia which will make sense later on. Anyways while traveling towards Ramchandi we reached a beer place and wonders of wonders they actually sold Carlsberg there!! It was like in the middle of nowhere!! I couldn’t find decent beer in Bhubaneshwar!! Anyways!! After buying our beer loading them up and then we started traveling towards Ramchandi when we noticed that a tree on the side of the road was ladled with yellow bottles!! And a sign said Rs.5 for using the toilet!! And after that breakfast in the morning!! WE needed it!!!:P So we stopped and the place was amazing !! We met the owner and few others Israelis and chilled out with some joints and it was sooo beautiful that Madu and gang decided to come back for New years to the same place again!! And the owner was a charming man who loved helping out with things and such!! And he enjoyed a joint as well!! Oh and the only place in Orissa where PSY being played openly and being enjoyed!! Every hippie’s final resting place!! Amazing!! Anyways it was tremendous fun!! And reluctant to move on we finally did and having lost some weight!! But not without getting high again!!! And rolling another final Joint !!!:P We reached somehow to Ranchandi and traveled to sand bar and not by the one where we drink but the one that separated the sea and the river and chilled out thr with our beers and had a good time in general !! Was a very very peaceful experience!! Well cutting short we somehow reached Bhubaneshwar 9 and a half hours later!!! Tired as shit and just dying to get some sleep!! What a trip!!! Crazy as shit!!! I think the party continued the same night also!!
