I and Or had been keeping the deadlines given by the client. Or's training had helped me immensely in getting to know the project. I was becoming familiar with the IT stuff, and my curiosity was increasing every day to know more. My main job was to get completely trained from Or before he leaves back to Israel, then to build a team of 3-4 people whom I would train and then look after everything as a Project Manager. I would pick Or's brain for every small little thing related to the project as I wanted to be sure that I learn everything before he leaves. Or was a very patient boy and extremely funny to make our workplace enjoyable. He would often play songs from youtube while working, cracking jokes and sharing his stories. Sometimes Noa had to step in to remind him about the work. He was a free guy, not fond of rules, working on his own conditions, a big foodie and also having a super brain. He would finish 8 hours of work in 2 hours and then chill lying on his bed or talking on the phone. There was no problem which he couldn't solve. He was a genius in computer.
Soon there was going to happen Asia's biggest music festival in Vagator called The Sunburn. Artur had got permission to put his kabab stall in the food court area of Sunburn. He asked me if I could help him. Even though I had started working on the IT project, I decided to help my friend in need. We had got entry passes into the Sunburn as a food stall people. Artur went ahead in the morning with his car full of food stall things. I followed him later in the afternoon on my bike. When I entered the big ground where the festival was happening, my eyes were shocked to see the huge structures everywhere. There were 6 mammoth looking Dj booths, some vintage cars and bikes were placed next to the kingsize metal shaped letters saying Sunburn. There was a pretty big line at the entry gate which I noticed when I came in from the back gate. People working at the food court had given passes to make frequent entry and exits through the back gate for our convenience. The first day at the festival was a total disappointment from the business point of view as very few people had come to eat. Most of them were high on recreational substances making them forget about food and only remember the dance and the music.
I came back home at night and shared my experience of Sunburn with everyone. They were excited just to hear about the place and wondered if they could see the music festival. As Artur had cancelled to put the food stall on the next day due to low response on the first day, my brain lighted up with an idea. I told everyone that we all could go to Sunburn free as we had food stall passes. With all excitement, we got ready and left our house in the evening heading towards Vagator. Upon entering the Sunburn everybody followed the drill to act like a food stall people wearing our passes. Nobody at the gate checked if the passes belonged to us. We all were in without paying anything. That was the biggest music festival I had ever seen with a crowd of 1,00,000 people in one place. The music was incredible and loud enough to feel your heart pumping outside of your body. We were having a ball at the party till the music suddenly stopped. Everyone was looking here and there with a surprised gaze when we came to know that it was already 10 pm and they had to shut down the music for legal reasons. We were disappointed as we had just started to groove.
The crowd was emptying the place and so did we. We were thinking of where to find the music now and suddenly we saw people drawing towards someplace nearby where loud music was being played. We followed the sound and reached the most popular destination of music lovers, Hill Top Goa. We could hear the music outside and it was irresistible to not go in. We paid the entry fee and went inside to discover the best music and best party happening in Goa at that moment. There we met two boys from Kerala with whom we became friends. Unlike Sunburn, Hill Top was a closed place giving a cosy vibe. I accidentally met many old friends there while dancing. Soon Hill Top also closed down as it was already 2 am. We were still craving music and went out searching for one. We heard people talk about Shiva cafe next to the beach which would play music the whole night till late morning. The news was excited for us to quickly march towards our new destination. The beach party at Shiva cafe was the most beautiful experience. An insanely loud trans music was been played while people were dancing on the beach looking at the full moon dawning upon the ocean. We were having the best time of our lives dancing the whole night away.
Music And Dance Had Introduced Me To Myself.
