Day 1. . .continued

Reached the hotel by 1100 hrs, a quick couple of chilled beers and we were off to the beach which was about 200 m away.

Armaan got his hands on a body board and discovered a new passion, Alisha made a 32 year old Russian friend who only spoke Russian and Alisha only English. Must have been some interesting conversation. . . .considering they were chatting for over an hour !

The Goa Trip 2015 - Day 1

All night drive from Bombay. Started at 2100 hrs, traffic jam at Mulund for 30mun, Panvel, and the ghat section leading to Lonavala. It was the Diwali weekend coming up, so I'm guessing that's the reason.
Nice road all the way, but very dense fog at Kolhapur. Visibility less than 30 feet. Had to pull over for about half an hour, then cruise all the way to Belgaum and down crazy bendy Chorla ghat to Goa.

Mumbai City Vs FC Goa

25-Oct-2015 1900 hrs

The Indian Super League matches underway, and Deepa missed last season. Alisha fell ill on Friday and stayed back, we missed her so much and this is her unused ticket :-(

We were part of a 2% minority in the stadium cheering Goa, but they played a shoddy game and Mumbai won 2-0
Great fun and a good match (with a mid match scrap as well ).

What Could have Been

"What could have been" is an ontological exploration. It requires mental agility, imagination, and a proclivity for making ourselves feel bad....about ourselves.
The first cousin of regret, and the trigger on an explosion of anger.

It requires us to create alternative future scenarios, but in the past.

And sometimes I can't help but tell myself : BE. HERE. NOW.
