Blissful view from the bedroom

Swisssshhhhhh swissshhhhh I hear something in my ears and then some murmuring of who is going to go and buy fish. Fish ?? I think … here I am trying to wake up to the splashing of the waves and Rocky and Praveen are talking about fish … well I decide to get up and on opening my eyes I see this lovely view and two small figures frolicking in the sea and I open my sleepy eyes wider and see Joy and Preeti already having a great time by the sea.

They must have got up awfully early. The view is lovely in the morning with the moon still not ready to give up its place and the horizon is like a pastel hued canvas . Well then again I am not a morning person but it was tempting watching them and as Rocky went with Praveen to get the fish I took my coffee and headed out to the beach.

Then there was Abhi who slept on the beach and there was this little friendly mutt who thought it was her duty to wake him up by licking him and making him aware of what he was missing .

Here is Abhi waking up and greeting us all.

Joy also took the opportunity to click some snaps of the ever friendly dog.

 
 The other guys meanwhile were in their suits heading for the waves and having fun riding the waves

  

  
 Preeti however managed to convince me to come and join them and well I was shitting bricks since I am a little scared of being washed away by the waves (this I say even though I know swimming )

Preeti and myself were happy sitting and letting the waves push us gently. Preeti got adventurous and went out to the sea and bang crash bammm went the waves.

Rocky and Praveen had come back by now and they told us that they have got some sumptuous lunch for us with fish, prawns, chicken, etc etc.

Meanwhile Adrian surfaced with his muscles and tattoo. It seemed as if he had a nice time collecting shells?

The following pictures are of Vibhu, Gurjeet, and Rajshekhar riding the dirt in Kollur. According to them it was a fantastic ride

While we were waiting for lunch, we had relaxed with some beer. Kartz after much contemplation (he had stopped consuming alcohol since some time) took a swig of the beer and my… how he swigged. Instead of glug … glug … glug… which we do normally he went glugglugglugglug …. One down… glugglugglug… two down….glugglugglug… three…and it went on… we were left gaping…

 Keerthi made a beeline for the beer bucket as Kartz was glugg glugging away. You can see Kartz targetting the precious ice filled beer bucket behind Keerthi. Keerthi also took some time to promote Kingfisher. We all filled our belly with beers and well I was feeling a little too drowsy suddenly (I did not realize how many gulps I took from each passing bottle. Hic !! Well I was not drunk and I am not a beer person anyway but at that moment there was nothing which felt so good as chilled beer which was coming out from the bucket of ice. Keerthi and Rijesh took the pain of getting a huge chunk of ice cube for the bottles .. Bravo !!

Meanwhile, Adrian was taking his brother Christopher’s trip .. He kept on calling him Lara. And I was wondering what a couple LARA and TARA. Amazing !!!

The tables were suddenly turned on Adrian and everybody took sometime to make sure that he got fingered !!!

We had a lunch which comprised of Prawn curry, fish fry, chicken curry, rice, papad, curd. It was more than Praveen promised.

We ate till we all could eat no more and then all of us chilled out in the front porch again. All of us were satisfied and replete with good food, good company and a wonderful place.

Abhi was busy talking to his friend. Preeti was up and very active.

Tara was enjoying the afternoon. She was missing her daughter a lot. She took some time out to go to the beach in the afternoon and walk by the sea. It was too hot for me to venture out. I stayed put in my cosy little room

We had dropped our plan to ride up to Murudeshwar and for the sunset. We were not willing to give this beautiful moment up. As evening came in upon us, we made the most of the last warm rays of the sun for that day.

As the sun started to set we started to take silhouette shots for the guys who decided to stand in the same spot and click their silhouettes except for Adrian whose tattoo looked amazing as the sun went down.

Joy was busy adjusting his lens to capture the sunset. He came back from a

Kartz also got his camera to shoot. Praveen and Karthik decided to capture a stunt on camera.

Praveen urged us to go creative on the lenses without using any special effects. Don’t I look as if I am dancing on Preeti’s hand ? Go figure !!

And then the sunset…. What a glorious time it was. For a moment it seemed that we would miss the most awaited moment because of the clouds hovering here and there but patience paid off and we were watching a beautiful view which we would remember for a long time to come.

The RD boys could not wait to race each other by the beach and well they ran to get their bikes and off they went to get their bikes and after seeing the RDs Keerthi and Adrain also got out their bullets and raced by the sea side. All in all everybody had a great time...
 Tara, Pallavi & Preeti seems to be wondering,"Whaz wrong with this guys???"

Then we proceeded to the dinner table. Keerthi and myself went on talking about silly stuff to pass the time and then all of us except Adrian, Rijesh, Christopher, Sanjay were left in the porch comparing Fiero to Bullet.... Fiero ? Where did that come from ?

Anyway that was the last thing I heard before my lights went off. We got to know later that while they were arguing about Fiero and Bullet they missed out on the scrumptious dinner of fish fry, Kori Curry which is a special cuisine of Mangalore.

This is to be had with Chicken gravy and broken pieces of papad-like roti . Ummm the food was delicious as usual but Adrian and group seems to have missed out on it and they realised it at 3:00am that there was no dinner left.
