07BT Goes to Mandarmani

This Sunday, 29 March i.e., 07 BT went for an awesome trip to Mandarmani (a spectacular beach about 3 hours from kgp). All credit goes to Sumeet Mohanty (SSM) for his insistence n a little bit of planning, Shirsesh for assissting him, Kalyan for assissting Shirsesh and unforgettably Swaty Gupta for convincing most of the batch to join. Thanks to all others for coming.

We hired a bus that day and left the main insti gate at around 10:30 PM. Was absolute fun in the bus with all the singing and the guitar. Yeah, Kalyan brought the guitar. If you want to know about his playing skills, you'd ask someone who knows about guitars. Though his teaching skills seemed to be exceptional. Heard him bloating up when he was explaining something to Asawari,
"Sab batayege ki kaunse chords play karna hai. Har koi batayega .. but ye koi nai batayega jo main bata raha hu .. Bass sun le.. "
A must-see look on Asawari's face who was sitting beside him!

Anyway it was fun with the guitar. Stairway to heaven. Yellow. Hotel California. Jagjit Singh. Euphoria and loads of Bollywood songs (including Kajrare!). Couple of Telugu, Punjabi n Bong songs were thrown in too.
How can I forget those smash hit, typical Kallu style parodies for so many of us. Excerpts, anyone? Sadly I don't remember much from there.
The only thing left to tell from the bus journey was how I saved Kalyan from ruining his whole trip over his broken guitar by meticulously locating key parts that he'd lost in the guitar itself.
Kalyan, you owe me three (or two?)



Then it was the BEACH. The Sand. The Sea. The Wind. Splendid, to say the least. The wind would've made me fly.

Beyond description.

You've to go there to find about it.



Dawn breaks. (Its difficult to tell whether its early morning or late evening.)


Some of the things that happened before we left off for breakfast. (only those I remember)
1. Me saving Kalyan (refer above)
2. Noopur losing her specs in the water. (Sadly, no pics)
3. Me hiding in the bus when everyone was playing in the water. (Again, no pics)
4. Noopur, Subhradeep, Shirsesh n Me enjoying a ride on the Marutaa. (below)



5. Asawari dozing off for the most of the time.
6. No more songs.
7. Truth n Truth. (Boring enough to be skipped).
8. People playing Football.


It was fun on the beach. As you'd anyway expect.
Later, we had breakfast at a really CUTE resort. There were swings, you know. I remember Varun putting one of his feet at one side of a see-saw and three of the girls trying to balance on the other side. Huh!
Breakfast was fine. We were pretty sleepy by then. And the journey back was anything but fun coz of the Heat. All of us were sleeping while Kapil was giggling taking pics of everyone. Some of the less pathetic ones are put up here.






Don't we all look so GAY?


All in all it was a NICE trip.. really. 07 BT rocks yeah! Will look forward to going out with the whole batch again.

btw, another funny thing was Subhradeep's amazing outfit for the beach. Shirt, trousers, belts and shoes .. hehe
(Hey buddy, no offense meant)

The Dude.


Some more pics.
