Beach - o - Beach - Preamble

It all started with a a lazy Sunday afternoon . As usual myself and Paddy were at Pawan & Mamta's place for a wonderful lunch ( we are doing it now more than often :-) ) . Pawan tossed an idea of beach party on Xmas vacation . As I have already consumed my company Quota of holiday , I was bit reluctant for this trip but some how I feel cannot say no to Pawan and Paddy , both are just an elder bro for me .

Since when I moved to Pune , Beach trip was one of top item in my 2 -do list . Wonder Boy Hemant was on way to his home that time , hence we didn't include him for this discussion . So all preparation started from Tuesday with long email chain , which was started by none other than Hemu . IT folks have this habit of sending email and oh God .. Hell broke loose and email started flooding like Pune Rain :-) .

Then only I came to know that sweet couple of Shubham and Madhuri are also joining us .Everybody started pouring their wild thoughts of Logistic and other stuff . We had two ideas on table , either Pawan and Shubham will drive their respective vehicle and we will dutch Gas price  or we can hire one ( Man donot asked me which one , it took 14 mails , 10 phone calls to decide one ) . We stalled for latter option . It was a ping pong game and everyone was  bouncing with respective idea . 

With Chotus inborn leadership quality , we were able to finalize this on Friday morning . Friday night , Chotu called P&M for some other stuff which may ( not) be required for trip .lol what a list : sun screen lotion ( spf 25) , mosquito repellent , Volley Ball , Paper plates , spoons and not so many obvious things .

We decided to meet at Dangey chauk , I was planning to meet Hemant at this place in morning . P@M send me a detailed ( of four lines , but email subject was a detailed plan) for the trip . That day , even my room mate was planning to leave for Shirdi , so I hit bed early and though of waking up early . According to Hemant , I must reach by 07:30 in morning , oh God why all such trips start in early morning .


Than I reassured myself , as two couples are involved , no way those guys will start at 07:45 . Keeping my finger crossed , I slept like a baby at 12:00.
