The Goa Trip was not just any trip. We, the Door No. 45 people had been planning it for months. The first date was fixed in May 2015 then it was postponed to September 2015 then to December 2015 and finally January was the month we finally decided to go on that trip. It was planned to be a low budget vacation but in the end it didn't turn out to be one. Here's how it went...
January 5th, 2016 was the day our journey to Goa was to commence from Pune Station. Everyone was in a totally different mood the whole morning and had been busy with the packing. We called two Uber Cabs to reach Pune Station with the free ride coupons we had. The train was scheduled to arrive at 4.30pm and we reached the station at 3.30pm. Even though the wait was only for 1hr. it seemed to be a very long wait. Well then the train arrived and we boarded it. Due to online booking we had to buy 2 different tickets as IRCTC allowed only 6 passengers on one ticket and this had made our tickets to be 7 bogies apart. The train was to reach Vasco-Da-Gama station at 6.30am the next day and so we had a whole night to enjoy. It is winter so yeah we had to carry our jackets and sweaters too.

Our train reached Vasco-Da-Gama station little bit late than scheduled but it was all ok. Above you can Me, Akshay, Rahul and Pravin and yeah it is a very low quality selfie as the front camera of my phone is a VGA camera. Now I was the master planner of this vacation with deciding the location to stay and the way we would be roaming around in Goa. Our first goal was to reach our hotel and get fresh. We had decided to rent Bikes but not only 3 of us had the license and we didn't wanted to take any risk getting caught by the traffic police as I was warned by my elder brother that the police here in Goa is very strict. So we decided to rent a Car and to rent it we had to go to Panaji which is the capital city of Goa. We had to take public transport in order to reach and while we were waiting for the bus many guys were requesting us or I'd rather say pleading to stay in their hotel and I had to lie that I already paid an advance of Rs.3000 to the hotel near Baga Beach and I cannot afford to cancel it now.
