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.
