PG Meet ... Awesomeness :mg:
Wow. what a meet. Pagalguy raises the entertainment value bar every year and the meet was awesome from start till end.
I was expecting real pagalpan so had slept well in anticipation of less / no sleep . reached Gateway of India a bit early trying to find pguys here and there . met pendyal n LBHIC . I congratulated you both then but forgot to say good luck . saw mahip doing offline mod duties who directed us to a group of people already arrived before us situated under the tree for protection from the blazing sun. slowly members started dropping in and our PG banner was up in the air which caught the attention of one very curious police inspector. after a bit of discussions , he left inteliigently and the banner was up again but a little lower .
After munching on couple of McD burgers ,we got on the rocking catamaran/ ferry and as soon as we started , almost everyone was in front of it looking like stage diving any moment. some people just sat around enjoying the breeze. Reached our destination and being the huge group were deciding which bus to board . when the bus people instructed the next bus is like after 3 hours , we got distributed on 2 buses till our next destination. after a small doze , got off to board tum tum's on the long journey to where we were staying. the place is really picturesque and calm until we all arrived to raise hell.
after lunch and a bit of chilling talking to people , headed to the beach a short distance away for some beach soccer. some of the boys and girls decided to hit the water and get wet mtv grind style ( only the boys ) . Then after multiple sessions of roaming around between the beach and our guest house ,
the night started to fall and people started getting impatient and wanted the party on the beach started. but had to wait for sometime till estranged and gang could arrange for the all the important itenaries to arrive without which it would have caused a riot for sure . soon began the introduction sessions. one by one , every member came down and introduced themselves and what PG meant to them. heard some great experiences and all has been recorded by our professional director grondie who kept on requesting everyone to stay near the light bulb but no body listened to him . The bon-fire had started to burn in full swing now.
after that , the music system was set by pranav and some tunes were played but people were very thirsty by now . curtz did an awesome job being our resident bartender for night and sadly , no one even left him a tip. next time you are in town , a drink for you from me the music got fast and people started to swing faster than gyrating arabic dancers. many decided to head towards the beach for moonlit beach walks only to return for multiple refills for the drinks . the beach walk was good fun and soon as time went by and the number of drinks people had by now had increased in multipe counts. skipped estranged's skit as i had already seen it at PG HQ but heard this was much more interesting and hilarious than last time.
The looong moonlit beach walk for some of us had was just awesome. turned around and we realised we had moved far away from humanity and returned back to see very few people left on the beach and some still dancing around the alcohol cart and not the bon-fire... went back to our place to have dinner . everyone was tired by now so many chickened out and went to sleep and some us stayed up till the wee hours of the morning for some interesting conversations , guitaring and singing sessions , and some muscle flexing for entertainment purposes only.
finally decided to crash at 4.30 am only to be woken up at 6.30 am . many had woken up with headaches n hangovers and some of us headed to the beach for early breakfast and tea. slowly people started waking up contemplating whether to go to the "blue water white sand beach". pagalneha was the most enthu in the bunch and found some generous volunteers to accompany her . many decided to give it a miss and head to the beach for cricket and bike rounds ( thanks to generous ali ). props to eka and his team who got out for single digit runs and allwin hitting one four and the match was over before it started.
grondmaster distributed some gifts he had got for some other purpose ( the tee rocks man ). many had to leave early to catch their evening flights and so early lunch had already begun. so after the good bye's , only 15 or so of us were left who had decided to head home later. on reaching the ticket counter for ferry , we realised the ferry service had shut down. apurv and I headed to the ST bus counter to find all the buses to mumbai were full . went to a tour n travel agency who somehow managed to book 2 cars for us and we got lucky otherwise we might have had to stay at alibaugh for another day. reached mumbai and people headed to their destinations.
Rock on Pagalguy.com and a final cheers to many such meets in the future
