Goa. .
. A dream of every Bachelor . We, a group of 7 Friends visited Goa last week. .
.Everyone has his own stories about Goa and so do we. . .Our's was full of Breathtaking Experiences. .Its true
that Traveling Leaves you speechless,then turns into a storyteller :)
Everything
happened to us in a blink of an Eye. . We all were so Excited about the trip
that we wanted to try each and everything. . .
02/Feb/2019:
We decided to go and experience water Sports. . .We started with Jet-ski Ride
which was pretty simple and We enjoyed the ride as it was a heavenly feeling of
the cold sea water on our skins but we didn't know that there was a lot that
Nature would teach us that day. .The power of Nature can mock the Power of man
at any time. . .
So
Time for the 2nd Ride. . .THE BANANA RIDE. . .The banana boat was a yellow
color banana shaped boat made of tube. . .We went and sat on the boat resting
our feet on both the sides to balance the boat. . This boat was tied with a
steamer to pull the banana boat inside . . 2 Guys were there with us so we were
pretty much confident about the ride. .. The only thing we knew was that he would
turn the boat upside down at the shore. . .
So the
Amazing Ride started . . and the Boat Entered the Sea. . .Wherever our eyes went,
we could only see the Blue , calm and beautiful sea. . .It was a quiet evening
and the sun had started to set. The view was so beautiful that we wanted to
capture everything in our Eyes and we were so Busy seeing the view that we
missed the communication with the Instructor. . .The instructor asked us if we wanted
to turn the boat upside down at the middle of the sea or not. . and we just
listened whether we wanted to go further in the sea or not . . . And we gave
the answer as YES. . .In next 2 seconds he turned the boat upside down and we
just went blank. . .The moment when we saw that there is no surface under us
was the moment we realized something wrong has happened Lolz. . . We got shocked with this sudden fall. . .We
thought by mistake we fell down or not. . . Out of 7 People all 5 were at the
same place where we fell down. . I didn't think anything and just held the rope
which was tied around the Boat. . .Coincidentally I was the person who was
sitting at the front, so me and the guy who was sitting at the last held that
rope. .. The Instructors started the steamer which was connected to the Banana
boat and in full speed he just moved forward . . .And we both who were holding
the rope and both were just moving with the rope. . .It was in so much speed
that I couldn't see anything. . Eyes were burning because of sea water and
because of water we weren't able to even breathe properly . . the only hope we
were having was that we were moving towards the shore. . .Then when he stopped
we realized that we came in the middle of the sea and not to the shore. .
and now the Instructor screamed to Leave
the rope. . .We left it and now We both were there in the Middle of the sea and
We could just see the Blue Sea and no one else. . .It was too difficult for a
non Swimmer Like me. .That Day I realized the Importance of a "Life
Jacket". . I was struggling like anything, the guy with me knew a little
bit swimming. . .For me It was something I can not think in my dreams also. .
.It was being so difficult to hold me body straight ,. . and My legs was just
coming Upward and my face started drowning in the water. . .The Guy with me had
given me some sort of confidence and he was just helping me to keep my body
straight. . .that Day One more thing I realized was that when you see Death in
front of you , You just think to save yourself and no one else. . I held the
life jacked of that guy and we both lost balance . . He asked me to just hold his
hand and to keep my body straight. . And then a Big Wave came and with that
wave I lost all my hopes to Survive in that Sea. . .I just closed my eyes and
in a moment All good things Family and Friends passed through my Mind. . .The
wave was pushing me Inside. .and I started losing my Breath. . I wasn't able to
speak as I had drunk a lot of sea water. . .the Guy was telling me to speak
at least something. . .But I was just trying to survive few more minutes. .
.Then At last we saw our 5 Friends. By that time The Steamer had reached to
them and he picked them one by one. . .They all were so scared seeing us. .The instructor also got scared because of
us. .My friends asked the instructor to
go and save us but he was just not moving from that place. . And for me it was
like 5 more minutes and I can't Survive any more. .
.So many things were there in my Mind , At that time if some fish would have
touched our feet then also I would have got a panic attack. . .Even the Life
jacket was getting opened and coming up :(. .The fear of Death is the Biggest
Fear. . After 10 Minutes he came. . And he pulled us on the boat. . And so came
the feeling of relief. .
This
actually made me think is this even possible that I am not dead yet. .I find it
really hard to put my experience into words because there are no adequate words
to describe it. What I have described is just a futile in comparison to the
actual event. I am humbled in its memory in many ways. . This Experience has
changed me as a person . . .I now respect my relationships more than I did
before,I learned to focus on the people I love. . .People might not be there
for me but I will always be there for people who need me. . :) :)
