After long time slogging with the exams my friends and I had planned out for a nice long trip but thanks for the time which we had in our time. Then we planned for some cool place near Mumbai. It was none other than Matheran. On 4th,5th and 6th July there were heavy showers . A huge cloud had bursted which halted most of the activites of Mumbai. We were stuck and had to plan it for Friday, Saturday, Sunday in July from 7th - 9th. This trip was finalized in the night after a few confusions over whoz coming and whoz not. We met at dadar for 5:39 train. Last moment we discovered sagar is not coming, he ditched. We travelled from Dadar to Nerul in a slow local chit-chatting and doing loads of masti.
We alighted at 7:30 on Nerul. As usual those taxi drivers approached us for giving a taxi on hire. After having a wada pav and coffee we went to matheran taxi stand by this cab. 6 of us had squezzed in this cab with one driver. By the time we went on top everyone's legs were cramped up. Later we had a nice walk from the taxi stand to Matheran. This walk was accompanied by hotel agents and few monkeys. After reaching matheran the quest to hunt for a good hotel with low rates started. My expert friend Jigz is good at this task. The hotel for which we had enquired from mumbai gave us a shock with its high rates and wasn ready to come down too. After going through about a dozen of hotels we landed up at Panoroma which was offering us 4 meals a day.
It was 12:30 in the afternoon. We all were dam tired walking uphill with our bags on and through wet roads. Lunch was at 1. Somehow we waited for the clock to strike 1 and then the call was made. Everyone just rushed to the dinning hall and hogged as if none of them had food since 2 days. After that heavy meal we all had a nice sound sleep. After getting up from the bed the room service boy had already come with tea and evening snacks. The first meal was not digested and the second had come. After eating this we went out for a walk just to roam around. Later in the evening in the hotel we played pool and table tennis. This was then followed by dinner. The evening snacks was still in the process of digestion. In the cottage styled room all were lazying around after another heavy meal.
Bluff and napolean are our fav card games. We played bluff and few other games in the night and then saw a so called horror hindi movie. Can't recollect the name. This activity was interrupted by a series of electricity supply to the hotel.
2nd day all were in the bed it was 9:30 I woke and that time I was told by the room service guy that we need to go for breakfast since they are serving it only till 10. After completing my activities I just went and announced "Its 9:45 now and they are giving breakfast only till 10." This alarm gave a solid reflexive action amongst all others. Those people who never get up on time just got ready for the breakfast within no time. Jigs was down today. He was feeling ill. After having breakfast we again rested in the hotel. I went for a swim with rohan. Then again everyone gathered at the room. After eating all those heavy meals we had to burn those calories. I was already feeling sick staying in that room. Later in the afternoon had lunch and then just went out for a round. We were 4 of us. Bhavesh and Jig were in the hotel. Had a nice time walking through the jungles as we were trying out long and twisted routes. I made them go through one of the shortcut which was a small pedistrian road. This lead us to a private property but we went ahead and tried exploring new routes. It was getting late since Jig and Bhavesh were at the hotel had to go back to pick them. While returning we got to see nice fog. We spent time in doing time pass. Then return to hotel. Both these idiots had got up by that time. We had evening snacks and then just went out for a similar expidition. It was 6 in the evening and we knew that once we set out it will be dark. So had taken precation by carrying torch. The walk was endless we couldn't see any point So went to see Luiza point the place where we had intend to go in the afternoon earlier. By the time we reached there it was about to get dark but since this point was way about the ground there was little light.
There was a strange incidence at Louiza point. A weird sound of bird was coming from the tree which was on the side. It wasn't unique it was a kind of whistle but not in a specific tone. Rohan was most scared. Our torch was put on. Darkness had fallen. Fog was filtering light. We 6 and one torch was amazing experince we had while coming back. When we took another shortcut that time there was a tiff for the route. We first tried a new route in the dark and 3 of our legs got stuck in a pit. Jig's oshos broke. Then we decided to follow the old route back. With ghost stories we walked down the road and reached back to the hotel.
It was a splendid experince. Jig felt a little weak but later was found okay. Just after reaching the hotel we had went to have dinner. Since it was saturday today they had amazing dinner tonight. After having dinner we went to have hooka. There was a hookas and tikkas in matheran. Had double apple and straberry hooka. I had it for the first time. It was alright. Vineet had a bad time with his peach tea here. Excessive eating and the peach tea along with hooka had made him unstable.
We spent a lot of time there. It was almost 12 in the night. There were drunkards on the road enjoying in their own way. We traced the route to our hotel and only to realize that the hotels gates were closed there was no watchman and none of them on the reception counter. Had to climb up the wall and jump in. Everyone was tired so did not play today any thing. Just after reaching to the cottage we had little time pass session and slept.
The next morning had breakfast and checkedout. Went to the market to buy chikki. And then tracked down hill completly. Since that day there was some kind of bandh we were scrambling down dam slowly. And came down to the station with many halts. This was the time to say good bye to all the fun since next day we had college. Train came and we boarded to come to our respective home. Train journey had lot of roadside band players who were enjoying dancing in their own manner. on the music they were playing. We joined them by swaying on our place. It was one another picnic which we enjoyed during engineering.
