Canoe Trip

This is my first blog. I happened to fall into this habit due to my friends here in Ann Arbor. The junta here keeps blogging and it is fun. the place has been a happening place. Last weekend was fun especially the Canoe trip was filled with fun and vigour. It was tiring as we all had slept late the day before that and had to get up early to leave. The fun started early morning itself. It was decided that one person would have to make a double trip. So happily it was Monto who volunteered. It was a nice opportunity to spend with time with the new junta. But the need for a second trip was cancelled. So we all left and Monto was comming back we happened to wave to stop him but unfortunately he did not see us or he pretended to do so. He thought ignorance is a bliss, but my friend he was wrong this time as everyone had already left home. So finally with a wierd look he reached the place alone to find all people had reached and were ready to leave for Canoeing.

Now dcube started pairing people for the trip. He systematically paired experienced people with the novices so as to make sure everyone would complete the trip safely, or atleast I hope that was the real reason! I and one more of my friend China (being commited) sat with some guy so that these guys could have fun with the new junta. We started and had to pass through a small patch initially and then we joined the big river. All people almost started together. Then suddenly we found that Monto's and my boat were way ahead of others. So we skillfully parked our canoes and waited for people to come. Then finally Dushant arrived and then we all three set for our journey. Monkel was racing his Canoe thinking it was his TRW vehicle and we always used to find him somewhere ahead. This was due to his habit of racing stimulated his nervous system to do so.

Meanwhile our Canoes where getting stuck everywhere and in that there was one hillarious incident. China and his team mate were trying to rescue someone else. While doing that the other fellow inspite of Chinas command was rolling the Canoe. Suddenly in a flash of a second china is in the water that scene was really funny and to add to his anger his mate was still in the boat with the boat upright. This was simply unbearable to China and so this boy pulled him down into the water. Then these guys like bandits stopped each and every Canoe to get them into the water. Dcube and his canoe partner were watching all this and looking at this they themselves stepped into the water. In between even our Canoe got stuck but Nari ( Jammy's friend ) provided us with sufficient energy using his Canoe to free us. Then our three Canoes reached the destination thinking that we had to reach in 2 hours . Slowly the others arrived. Nari came last and suddenly we could see a half dozen people hovering near his Canoe, some genuinely trying to get him out of the Canoe while others plotting of a plan to drop him in water. The evil minds finally succeeded to pitch him into the water. This fellow later using his mammoth body lifted and dragged jammy, but jammy pretending an appendix problem found out a canny way to escape his clutches.

Later the few Car owners went to get us some food and pop. Tthe pop incidence reminds me of somehting. I opened a can and all fizz came out of it. Jammy smartly collected all the of it and poured it on my head. I inturn ppured the whole can on his head but hurt him a bit for which I am really sorry. So this sticky mess was all over our bodies. Once the food came people hogged like mad.

The day dint end there after we arrived home all of slept for a while and then went to play beach volleyball in the willowtree court. This was too much for one day but it dint stop there. We found out there is some stuff Disco Dandia being played somewhere. So we all dressed up in traditional clothes left for it. The dandia stuff was full flop as the music was nowhere close to any dandia music and the stupid DJ that day had made up his mind to burst our ear drums. Suddenly people started leaving the place and the show ended. All the guys then decided to go to Apt # 3036 to watch a movie and so everyone arrived. The bollywood fan, Jammy got a movie called " Jaan jai par Praan na Jay". I wonder where this guy finds such movies. The movie was worth watching once but definately no more than that. the movie had one really good incidence, which was spotted by me, china and Harry and we urged jammy to rewind and see it. That incidence is worth seeing cannot be told by narrating it. So I believe who ever has not seen that have a look at that incidence definately. The movie was a very good dozing medicine and very few people really with a lot of determination saw the end of the movie. That was the end of one of the most happening day leaving the memories for all of us to cherish. I am sure there are many more such days to come with such enthusiastic people around me and ofcourse including me.
