This story has elements of passion determination, thrill, adventure and of course humor.
Why Passion and determination as we (me and my friends) were very much determined and enthusiastic to go to the office party in spite of so many odds and hurdles faced. We were in full zeal and enthusiasm, as if we have never attended any party or not going to attend any one in future ;-).
The very moment we got the mail about the family outing organized by our office. The gang of four beautiful, bold, dynamic and enthusiastic gals started the discussion who all will be going, what to wear and also about all fun and the frolic which will happen at the party.
This became the topic of discussion during morning coffee, afternoon walk in the company compound and of course the evening tea time.
At last three votes were up and one already backed out.
The party day
When I called Giri her voice was sounding like as if someone had pressed her Adam’s apple. Precisely she was down with severe throat infection and was still trying to be at her best vocals, though she miserably failed in doing so. I told her don’t talk, just listen about our plan of coming to her house and then going to party (all the three together). After all plan was to enter there as three musketeers and leave a big impact. But soon hopes shattered, when she disclosed that her condition was not permitting and she won’t be able to come.
Finally only two of us, me and Indu were left. We boarded the bus, and manage to get down at a point where we were sure that we had lost directions.
Enquired about the place “Royal Orcad “different people had different opinions...Several people told that there is no place with this name. Other person gave a reference of a restaurant thinking we want to have a nice breakfast/lunch there.
At last we had found a great soul who knew about the place and it seems he had frequent visits to the same place. He gave us directions and told that it's nearby and on walkable distance (not even one kms) .
Adventure1
So we decided to walk, to the Party Resort. At that time we were not aware of the thrill we would be experiencing on the way.
It was a shady area. Even after one kms walk still more miles were left. Suddenly we saw a man coming from opposite direction and making strange sounds .
He was repeatedly saying “hovu - hove” and I heard it as “aaoo - aaoo” I thought might be there would be some pigeon / birds /dog he is calling them.
On the contrary, my friend thought he is a crazy fellow and just blabbering something.
At the same time I looked at his finger, pointing to probably a meter long snake, just four inches away from me .The very look of the reptile gave me numbness of feet, Adrenaline rush rush , felt a cold shiver passing down , I went in a state of shock…!!!
In Reality, neither he was mad nor was he calling some birds as per our assumptions and intelligent quotient levels. He was just warning us by saying hovu hove (kannada it means snake).
Finally I restored my pulse and heart rate to normal, and we both started walking further down the lane.
I think we were extra lucky that day one after other god was testing our boldness. It would not be wrong if I say we both would have given “Fear Factor” contestants a tough competition. Anyway they never invited us to participate in the show J.
Adventure2
Further down the lane we found our self to be surrounded by a gang of dogs. Correction not only one gang , 3 dogs on our left, 4 on right and few were standing in front , and there was no way to run/escape from backside either …Might be they were planning for a fight and they wanted us to witness the free show. But their aggressive gestures were reminding me of Jackals. My friend got very scared by seeing them, though I was also feeling the same ...But the name is “ Gauri Pradhan” how can I accept so easily that dog are enough to scare me.
I gave all tips like one should not make an eye contact with the dogs if struck in this kind of situation .But reality was different, if I was looking at them they were shaking my confidence and reminding me of 14 injections / bite.
Also one grand tip given by one of my friend at some time “Person has to just bend down carefully and pick a stone (big /small / or maybe you can just act if you did not find anything). The dog will think you can harm him and he will run away.
Actually I got the guts to give a demo to my friend in that situation, and it worked too. Finally they ran away and cleared our path for the resort.
Adventure3
We continued walking and kept checking the landmarks given by the unknown person . Since we already had an experience of reptiles and cannianes so we did not want to take risk, still Royal Orcade was not visible; we thought of getting in to a rick … finally we saw few auto rickshaw parked at the roads dead end . On enquiring about where is RO they told it is approximately one kms away. We got in to auto ... just 10 seconds later, we saw the board of the party and the name of the destined resort . We thought might be entry is from other side. The auto fellow took us further ahead close to few kms and told us that this is "Bus Stand" and please get down. When we asked him who wanted to go to bus stand ?(Remember We always wanted to go to Royal Orcad)... he replied "we boarded the auto from royal Orcad only "(GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr....!!!)
Let cut the story short, dear friends let me humbly accept that we got cheated by auto rickshaw fellow :-):-)
