Leaving Goa

The month of March was about to begin when we had decided to leave Goa for the mountains. Our plan was to set up the company in Dharamshala and start hiring more people. Or had trained me quite well regarding the project so that I could train other people. Somedays I would work extra hours to learn more and more things. I wanted to give my 100% and turn that project into a success. There were some evenings spent alone in the house sitting in front of the computer while everyone would be out on the beach. I would find it hard to deviate from my task when everything was at stake. That project was my hope to come out of my financially broken condition. I and Or would share stories from each other's lives and I would find them fascinatingly similar. He was also going through some tough phase of his life.

During the last week of March, we decided to leave Goa. After clearing all the dues with the landlord we promised them that we would hire the same place next year again. Our journey was planned through the train as always so I booked 4 tickets in 3 Tier AC. During the journey of 4 days, our work was gonna take a halt. To avoid that we were working extra hours to finish most of the tasks before leaving. I was stretching myself even more as I would be helping Artur and Madhu also in their work. Many of our friends were leaving Goa before us like Sasha, Ynon, Ora. They would come to meet us before they leave. Bidding goodbyes were tough as nobody knew when we would meet again. The beautiful house which we were staying in had left many lovely memories for me. It was like a home.

Our train was at 12 noon so we decided to leave the house by 10.30 am. Pasha came to drop us at the train station. While driving he took us on some different station road by mistake. As I was keeping the Google map on I realized his mistake and asked him to turn around. Glad we didn't proceed to another station only to miss our train. The heat at 12 noon was unbearable while standing at the station in wait for our train. We had taken a good decision to leave Goa in time before it could have turned into a volcano. Everyone was craving to sit in the AC compartment. Our wait was killing us as the train was 1 hour late. Finally, I could saw the train engine approaching the station from far away. I alerted everyone to take charge of their baggage and get in as soon as the train stops. We made our way into the compartment and sat down after pushing our luggage under the seats.

35 Hours Of Adventure Had Begun.
