Found these in my folder
I was going through my folder looking for I-20 and passport photocopies when I found papers on which I'd written about the NSS camp. So I'm gonna type all that (added with stuff that I remember now as well) in installments. So here's day one.
Day I
Never in my life did I carry so much luggage as I did on January 21 (?). From Khartoli Bridge to Praful Mhatre's house (a kilometre?), Bamnoli, I was e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d after 2 rounds. The guys had gone to Alibaug to get food supplies along with Aarti.
Tired, all of us sat in the porch of Mhatre's house. There was a puppy tied to a tree barking (or at least trying to bark) and some really cute (or so i thought!!!) hens and chickens walking around. Simrita, Ira and I started naming the hens Blackie, Brownie, Snowy etc. After our breathing rate became closer to normal, we passed on our luggage to the first floor where we would be staying for the next eight days. After that we climbed down and sat waiting for the guys to come back.
Karishma made polite conversation with the guy she thought was Praful Mhatre.Shruti and Shivani screamed a million times because the chickens were "scaring them". People fretted about no network on their cell-phones.
Simrita and I then went for a walk up till what we came to know later as the end of Bamnoli village spotting a grocer, a PCO booth and the village school on the way. By the time we got back, some of the guys had returned with half the supplies and the tent equipment. Lunch came later with the remaining guys.The JSM college people came later and helped us set up our tent and pandal. Shamed us at our incompetency at such things. Should mention that the guys had to sleep in tents (ha! score...<evil grin>), while us girls got to sleep in the room.
Jayshree Patil and Mudita Dixit arrived in the evening. JP boasted about cooking since childhood and decided to cook dinner for us. Anyways, she
a. frustrated everyone in the kitchen,
b. cooked food (if you could call it that) for 6 million people (give or take a few)
c. and forced us to eat it too (ugh!).
After dinner, all of us just had to crash. We made our beds. Karishma and I then had this laughing fit for no reason and pretty much annoyed all those that were trying to sleep.
Today's lesson: Learn to set up tents!
P.S. Forgot to mention. Today's morning ride on the catamaran was H-E-A-V-E-N :)
