The trip I shall never forget..

OK readers! Guessing game! I live in India. I am going to talk about a trip to a place so trippy, so awesome, so alive that anyone who goes there never wants to come back. Hint: It's a Union Territory, it has beaches, it is the only place in India where gambling is legal and it is full of life. If u still don't know which place I am referring to, u better hit ur head with an atlas. Yess, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am talking about Goa!! The mere mention of this splendid city's name, takes me back to those memories.
The trip started off with us 2 guys putting the idea in other people's heads, of a trip to Goa during the approaching long weekend. The idea went viral but attracted only 2 more guys to the "yes!lets go!" pack. I deliberately am leaving out all the negative aspects of our trip coz they were nothing compared to the good times. We took a bus in the night after office and the next morning we were there! We were to stay in a 5 star hotel! Yayyy! We rented 2 bikes, took the rooms in the hotel, dumped our stuff and baby!it was on! the trip! Now I am going to skip the part about beaches, chicks with small shorts, the hip crowd, the parties coz that's what everybody experiences in Goa. I had had those experiences before so no special mention. A special shout out to all those who love Colva beach; that's the best beach ever! All others are somewhat okayish. Me and another friend even went ahead with the "full body massage fad" and came out disappointed, for reasons obvious to most guys of our age! But coming to why I chose to write this blog, "The Casinos". Man! those places are extremely worth every penny u spend there! Obviously, not if u are a professional gambler who keeps on spending all his/her hard/not-so-hard earned cash there. But if u r a tourist like us, u should go ahead and spend money there without hesitating. The experience of gambling in the open with so many different kind of people, in such a professional and attractive atmosphere is just so mind blowing! I love Roulette and that is what I played for 12 hrs straight! yess!! And I wasn't even tired when I got up from the table! Poker is my favourite but unfortunately, all tables were high stakes, so I being an amateur couldn't muster the courage to get inside the game. But, Roulette, I played sensibly and used my keen sense of "forecasting", plus my brains to get the exact number twice!! n guess what?!! I had bet only 1 chip both of the times on that single number! After playing for so long, Me and my friends, we got out with more than 3 times of what we had invested!! Pretty neat, right?! We went there again the next day, this time in the day though, not many people were there, and we kind of just covered up our investment when we got out this time. We had to rush to the bus station to catch our bus back to the place where our lives would once again become banal and trite. Now, bombarded with extravagant memories of Goa, I am yearning to go back there again. Hope that happens soon!!. Cheers
