A/N - the train is from Mumbai to Goa. Let me know if I missed anything.

Navigation | "Say you'll remember me" | "Standin' in a nice dress" | "Starin' at the sunset" | ..babe"

The horn sounded nice and loud, it could be heard by the people who stood on the road outside the station. It indicated that the train was now leaving CSMT and heading to its final destination. You had this trip planned out with your friends since the beginning of the year. All hotel reservations were made and all tickets were booked since this was the busiest time of the year to travel.

It was the middle of December. You had 3 different invites to 3 different weddings, an invitation to meet one of your good school friends, and a desire for a true Goa trip with your friend group. But all of that was about to go down the drain because you were standing on the platform hearing the train engines start and watching it slowly pull away. You went out to grab some hot samosas for everyone but were now panicking, “Bhaiya jaldi karo, train jaa rahi hai!” you yelled at the poor dude who was trying to hurriedly wrap the piping hot samosas. You got the black thaili, gave him a 200 rupee note, and ran off, “Chhutta rakh lena!” you said over your shoulder.

This could not be happening. It looked cute in YJHD when Naina was running behind the train, unfortunately you were not Naina. You were running after the train with your hair tied in a weird bun from the morning and were holding onto a black plastic bag with samosas in it, very much the opposite of how she looked. But then you saw it, more accurately, him. He was tall and had fluffy hair, like Bunny. But his hair was brown and he had green eyes, eyes which were filled with concern, eyes that were looking at you.

This distracted you, but when you realised the train was moving away faster, you started to sprint. Never in your life had you run faster. His one had held onto the railing, while the other was stretched out and gesturing to you. You grabbed onto his outstretched hand and jumped. This is where you mentally prayed that he would catch you, if not, you were surely gonna get jammed in between the train and the platform, get injured, or die on impact. Thankfully he did catch you. When you jumped, he reacted quite fast and pulled you with one hand and caught you by your waist with the other.

The both of you stood at the door standing incredibly close, breathing and processing what just happened.

You managed to recover and pulled away from him, his hands dropping from your wrist and waist. However, you did not notice his slightly disappointed face, which he quickly covered up.

“Thanks for..the help.” you weren’t really sure what to say. He didn’t say anything, he just kept looking at you. You started to worry that he didn’t speak English, right when he replied, “Sure, it was no problem.”

God that accent. He was definitely from Europe, maybe France. But just that one sentence got you craving for more. You wanted to hear him talk, it didn’t matter what the subject was.

The silence turned awkward, so you mumbled a final ‘thank you’ and ‘see you around’ before entering the first class A/C compartment.

You and your group of six(excluding you), had booked the train tickets separately. Two of your friends who were dating booked a coupe for themselves, and then gradually everyone else also got their tickets. You were the last to book and ended up in a cabin with 4 berths. You just hoped that whoever you would be sharing a cabin with would not bother you or make you uncomfortable.

You made your way to your friends’ compartment and gave everyone their samosas. By now it was no longer hot, just warm, but it was enjoyed nonetheless. You fell into the lively conversation and temporarily forgot about the brunette with capturing eyes and an alluring accent who saved you from missing a train. Once the clock hit 11 pm, everyone started getting ready for the night. You and your best friend went to brush and wash up for the night while the others got their beds ready. That is when you remember the mystery man.

Sarah was in the middle of brushing her teeth when you came out of the smelling washroom saying, “I nearly missed the train while getting you guys your food.”

“Wha id u o?”

“I ran like a mad woman and got saved by a stranger.” the second you finished speaking, she spit the foam out of her mouth, looked up at you, and asked you to elaborate. “Was it a guy?” you gave her a look, “Was he cute??” you gave her a more pronounced look and she started squealing. You had to cover her mouth with your hand. The train staff member who was in the other train car gave you a weird look.

You just smiled at him and dragged your toothpaste-covered friend into the a/c compartment. You gave her a towel to wipe her mouth with while she whisper-yelled more questions at you.

“The bhaiya was still wrapping the samosas, the horn went off, the train started leaving and I ran. I saw this guy, this gorgeous guy standing at the door. He held out his hand and I-” you weren’t even able to complete your sentence. ‘You had your DDLJ moment!’ Sarah squealed, jumping up and down with excitement. One thing you were glad to have in your life was Sarah. She was always happy for you, got excited for you, and uplifted you. And that is what she did. It took her five minutes of convincing before she left for her cabin with your 3 other mutual friends.

You headed back to your cabin, but this time it was not empty. A man and a woman were sitting on the berth below yours. They looked like a couple, foreigners. They looked at you, smiled, gave a nod of their head, and continued their conversation in what you guessed was French. As you shuffled around getting your bed ready another man walks, dressed in sweatpants and a tight-fitting t-shirt. It was the brunette who ‘saved’ you a few hours earlier.

Not knowing what to do, or if you should say something, you just continued making your bed in the upper berth. You realised that he also was sleeping in the upper berth when he tossed a few items up there. Once you were done, the couple’s talks died down and the woman asked, “Hi, we don’t mean to be a bother but we were wondering if you could just guide us on how to get the beds sorted. We are not exactly sure what to do.”

The brunette man had left the room, seemingly to make a call. You smiled at the woman, “Oh, no worries.” you gave her your name and she replied, “I’m Charlotte, this is my boyfriend Lorenzo.” You smiled at him and then turned your attention towards Charlotte and began explaining what to do. Both lower berths were done and soon enough the green-eyed man returned.

Charlotte said something to him in French. They knew each other. She turned to you, “and this is Charles, Enzo’s younger brother.” Even his name sounds regal. Before you could get a word in he said, “We’ve already met.” with a smile that seemed genuine. His brother gave him a questioning look and asked him in French. Charles gave a reply. It was now nearing midnight and you wanted to sleep soon. You were getting off at a station in the north of Goa, meaning you had to wake up early. Before you could head up to your berth, Charlotte asked if you could help Charles with his bed. She thanked you and then pulled her boyfriend out of the cabin and walked away, not really giving you an option.

You looked at him and he looked at you, confused. “Do you know how to set the bed?” you asked with a smile on your face. “Not really, no,” he said with a laugh, “I could use some help.” So you helped him set the bed. In the meantime, you both spoke about different things. You told him about the weddings and plans to spend as much time on the beach as possible. He told you about how one of his co-workers told him about Goa’s splendour and fun and how he and his family are spending their holiday together.

By the time the bed was set, you were sitting on your berth while he opted to stand, his height making it difficult to sit on the upper berth. It was now way past midnight. You were getting tired, though it seemed that he was wide awake. Charlotte and Lorenzo finally returned. Your conversation died down. You said that you had to get up early and were now going to sleep. They promised to keep quiet. You put your eye mask on and turned to the side letting the swaying motions of the train put you to sleep.

With the amount of excitement inside of you, you were not able to sleep for very long. You were well rested but woke up at 6 am. The three Monegasques were fast asleep (i have no idea of Charlotte’s nationality so let’s just say she is from monaco). You sat up in bed and for a good five minutes just admired the sleeping body opposite of you. You checked your phone and found out that the train was delayed by 3 hours. This was ridiculous. Apparently, a large group of animals were crossing the tracks when a train was approaching and it caused an accident.

You got out of bed and went to see if any of your friends were awake. Everyone was sleeping, except Sarah whose bed was empty. She was probably in the washroom. You decided that it was too early to do anything and so went back to your cabin, fetched your toiletry bag, freshened up, went back to bed, wrapped yourself in the itchy blanket, and opened Subway Surfers on your phone while your other hand held a cold sandwich. Your headphones played some music you had downloaded. An hour passed and you set a new high score for which you were proud. Charles woke up.

You didn’t notice at first, but he saw you as soon as his eyes opened. You looked adorable wrapped up in the cocoon of the blanket. It was when he sat up that you saw him and gave him a smile and a small wave. His cheeks turned red and he waved back. His thoughts of you at that moment ranged from pure and soft to vulgar and wild, and it all lasted for less than a second. He got up and went out. You decided that you should go and check if Sarah is awake. When you reached her cabin, her bed was still empty. Feeling lazy, you made the decision to stand by the train door and hopefully catch some cold morning wind.

Your hair went in a plait and you opened the train door which was left unlocked. The toilet door opened and out came the dreamy Monegasque. He came up to you, "Are you sure that is the safest thing to do?”

“Not really, but that’s the fun in it.” there was a sparkle in your eye when you turned your head to look at him.

“Are you even allowed to open the door?” his laugh made it clear he was fooling around with you.

“Technically no. But it wasn’t locked, so it's on them.” Your laugh sounded angelic to him. The hair which escaped your braid framed your face so beautifully, Charles could do nothing but stare at you. It took him a second to realise you were asking him something.

“Slept well?” he shook his head. “Not quite. The constant shaking made me restless.” “That happens. But eventually, you get used to it.” He asked how you slept and you answered ‘pretty good.’ He stood opposite of you resting on the wall behind him watching the wind blow your hair around as the sun began to rise. The pair marinated in comfortable silence until a staff member came and told you to move away and shut the door. The tranquil moment was broken, but neither of you wanted it to end. Without speaking a word, the two of you went inside the compartment but stayed outside your cabin.

“Well, we did speak last night but I do not know much about you.”

“In that case, what would you like to know?”

He leans against the train wall, his arms crossed, your pose mimicking his. He thinks for a second and proceeds to ask, “How often do you travel?” “Not very often,” you respond, “I sometimes go for a weekend trip to nearby hill stations, but that's usually the max I travel.”

“So no foreign trips?”

“I don’t exactly have the funds for it,” you chuckle, “between getting a visa organised, praying that my leave from work gets approved, to finding flights, I just find it not worth the effort. I would be spending three months of my salary for just 10 days of vacation which I would rather spend finishing work which equals more money.”

He seemed perplexed by your answer, confusion evident on his face. “And would I be right in assuming that you travel abroad very often?” you ask, a bit of a smirk showing. He smiles and looks down, his hair moving due to this movement. Your eyes were fixed on this as he answered, “You would.” “And why do you travel the world, Charles?”

He smiles, that lovely smile, “I-uh, I drive expensive cars for very wealthy people around the world.” You smiled, but something about that answer felt false. Like he wasn’t telling you everything, but it didn’t seem like he was lying. “Does that mean you know much about cars then?” “I’d like to think I do.”

The smiles never left either of your faces as the conversation continued. You mentioned how your brother works with different types of cars and how they are his life. “I should meet him then, test my knowledge about cars,” Charles said.

“Trust me you don’t, he gets very excited when someone mentions anything about cars. Once he starts, he does not stop.”

“Oh, I wouldn’t mind, I am a good listener.”

"Tell me something you like." the driver asked after a while of the train being halted. You looked out of the hazy window and replied, "The sun." He cocked an eyebrow. "I could go on and on about it." "Well, I did say I am a good listener," said Charles.

The conversation went on for what felt like hours. But soon enough you felt the train start to finally move. You both decided to head back to the cabin, but you were stopped when one of your friends called out to you to join them. You were disappointed, gave Charles a short apology, and followed behind your friend.

By the time you were able to go back to your cabin, the train had reached the final platform where you were getting off. You were hoping to catch a glimpse of Charles before leaving, but sadly when you returned to your cabin, it was empty save for your luggage and belongings. You gathered all of your items and met your group on the platform. The two cars which were rented for the next two weeks were there waiting for you. Everyone got in and drove off to the rest houses. You were the designated driver for Car 1, which gave you very little opportunity to think about not getting to say goodbye to Charles.

Little did you know that you would meet him once again, very soon.

Translations

Bhaiya jaldi karo, train jaa rahi hai! - Brother hurry up, the train is leaving!

Chhutta rakh lena! - Keep the change(money)

thaili - bag (in this case it is a black plastic bag)

For breathtaking architecture, go to the Basilica of Bom Jesus, a structure that is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Both the bustling Anjuna Flea Market and the Se Cathedral provide a window into the area's vibrant culture.

The Sun And The Moon

Chapter 8 - Angdesh

"So, what are your hobbies other than archery?" asked Divyanshi. At some point, she was bored with watching reels and Karn wasn't the person to start a conversation.

"I don't know. I can do archery well and..." he thought, "I can ride a horse." he said.

"Yeah, you can ride a horse." she repeated nonchalantly. "How is your mother? Do you go meet her often?"

"You know about my mother?" Karn asked.

"Of course, she is an important part of your side of the story." she said.

"How?" the chariot's speed reduced as Karn gained curiosity.

"She-she gave birth to you, that's how." Divyanshi didn't lie to him, just hid the truth.

"Oh yes!" he recalled and smiled, "You know about me already but I don't know you much. How was your life like in that yug?"

"It was boring. I had to get up early and travel from one place to another then those lectures," she sighed and smiled, "I had good friends, we used to sit in the canteen and plan for trips but we never got to go to those places. Once we planned to visit Goa and we even had the money but my friend, Akhil got sick; well, we had to cancel."

"You like to travel, don't you?" he asked.

"Like? No, I love to travel. I am a sucker for exploring places and hell yeah! The food is to die for!" she rambled, "Have you ever tried 'Delhi ki chaat'? Of course, you haven't! I could kill a person to have those-" she glanced at him, pausing herself from speaking, "I didn't mean that in that way."

"You should observe Dushasan when we talk about food the next time. One time we went to war and just before the battle he ate so much that he slept. We won the war but he had no idea. He slept for three days straight, Gandharaj was afraid that he died." he laughed.

Divyanshi laughed too. She had never seen him laugh like this. He was happy and so was she. She noticed the glow on his face when he smiled, his smile was to die for. Time passed like a lightning streak and they reached Angdesh.

"The palace is so beautiful!" she said in awe.

"It is better on the inside." Karn said, he motioned her to walk with him as helpers took their stuff.

"Oh! I could just stay here for eternity." she said.

"Maybe you should." he muttered.

She heard him and smiled. "That's magnificent!" she looked at the throne.

"I never liked it." he commented.

"Why?" she asked.

"It is a burden for a person. One needs a partner for it." he explained.

"That's deep." she commented.

"What-what are your thoughts on marriage? I mean you will marry someone here because you can't go back to 'your' life." he asked.

"Marriages don't work out easily. It would be tough to find a person whom I can agree with." she wondered more on the topic she never cared to ever think about, "Maybe that's why I don't want to get married. Dating is good but marriage is a big no."

"What if you find that person someday?" he added.

"There is an 'if' in that. I do take risks." she said, "The last time I did, it didn't end well. He beat me, I beat him and that was toxic."

"I am sorry." he apologised, "I hate such people."

Divyanshi didn't say anything, she nodded. The fact he said he hated those people but roamed with Duryodhan made her think if she really liked him or if was it just a summer crush. They spent the day wandering in the markets and telling their childhood stories to each other. The night went well after dinner, they sat under the moonlight in the rose garden.

"We didn't have Petunia Black Velvet because those are flowers of death and highly inauspicious. Roses are good." Karn said sitting on a rock.

"Roses are nice, I like them too." she sat with him. He was red sitting right next to her, he was indeed happy and his face said so. As always, it was glowing. This caught Divyanshi's attention. "When you get happy your face glows." she stated, "I just noticed that."

"Everyone's face glows when they smile." Karn shook off the comment.

"No, I mean that your face literally glows. These kundals actually glow when you are happy." she explained. "I knew that they are with you since your birth but I had no idea that these glow."

Karn's smile dropped, "I never told you about these glowing nor anyone else." Divyanshi knew she messed up, "You know something important, don't you?"

"I know about the kundals because I am from the future, remember?" she tried to hide that she knew about his origin.

"Why are not telling anyone about what you know?" he inquired.

"Because if I tell you or anyone about it, something worse can happen." she tried to reason, she stood up, and went back to the palace.

"What is it? A war? Someone dies, right? Is it some old secret that will be revealed?" Karn followed her in the corridor and grabbed her wrist. He held it gently and brought her to stand in front of him against the wall. The more he spoke the more he brought his face to hers.

"I don't want to ruin anything. If someone is going to change those events it is going to be me so don't interfere with my plan. It's extremely necessary." she stated, her heart was pounding. The distance between their faces was not even an inch.

"Please answer me!" he spoke softly, "I don't want to get hurt hearing the truth from someone else."

Not knowing what to do and not wanting to answer, she unknowingly pecked him. Parting after realising what she had done was absolutely foolish she went to her room hastily while he stood staring into nothingness.

Beaches, River-Rafting, and Trekking Best for Summer Vacation

It is possible to enjoy a trip to the most popular beaches in North Goa, including Baga, Candolim, Calangute, and Anjuna, during the months of March and April, when the temperature is still bearable and the weather is good. Additionally, during these months there are fewer people on the beaches, making it a great time for a peaceful beach holiday since the beaches seem lovely at sunrise and dusk.

The months of March through May and September through November are considered to be the best periods to go river rafting in Rishikesh. These two months are the busiest seasons of the year for tourists to visit Rishikesh in order to take part in the exhilarating activity of river rafting.

10°C to 25°C from March to June Manali's summer season lasts from March to June, making that period the best time to vacation there, especially with loved ones. Temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C throughout this time. These months continue to have temperatures that are pleasant, which makes them excellent for participating in a range of outdoor activities such as river rafting, hiking, camping, and so on.

If you have any concerns regarding the informative and reasonably priced Summer tours we provide, please don't hesitate to get in touch with one of our helpful Trip Counselors.

There’s a scene in Wake up Sid where Siddharth finishes his final exam and dashes out of his college gates as soon as he can. I always wondered what this feeling would be like. Imagine not having to worry about any projects, submissions , presentations and last minute revision. Still sounds like a dream to me.

However, as it turns out, that dream can become a reality sooner than we expect. One moment, you're writing the last word on your final exam, putting down your pen, and feeling a sense of relief wash over you. The next moment, you realize that your college days are over.

No more “pulling an all nighter”

“Maine Yai chapter skip kar diya”

“Bhai I hope the invigilator isn’t strict”.

After leaving the hall, I could see smiles in every corner of my college, friends hugging each other , promising to stay in touch, planning for that “Goa trip “ and some who were just very glad this chapter was over.

While college might’ve not given a glimpse of what real life is like, it fairly fed our dreams of being the main character- even if you were someone like Chatur or Lucky ( too cool for anything). It might’ve helped you come out of your shell, given you friends who won’t miss a chance to embarrass you or probably even help you finally figure out your career path.

If you’re someone who still hasn’t figured it all out and is worried about what happens next, maybe right now all you need is to stay proud of how far you’ve come and Sleep ( tons of it).

Things will unfold for you in the best ways imaginable. And if it still hasn’t,remember-

What's Living, If Not With You?

Welcome, romantics and anti-romantics, to this simple, passionate yet heart-wrenching legend of Dona Paula, her lover and the point that was named after her + my visit and thoughts on the point!

This goes out to those who are suckers for the classic "forbidden romance, angst" trope, just like me; trust me, you guys are gonna love this.

Everything is Fascinating to Those Who are Fascinated.

I was just about the age of nine when my parents decided it was about time we explored the famous, Portugal-influenced Indian state of Goa. I don't think I got a lot of say in the planning of the trip, given I was only a child, but I liked beaches and still do, so it was an approval from me and my sister.

So one flight, one day, and many fiascoes later, we found ourselves at a higher ground by a beach with a bottle of soda in each hand.

I was a curious child and exploring was my forte, so I stood there, and stared long and hard at the bright white statues of a woman and a man, standing tall above the sea. My then seven-year-old sister asked my mother what the deal with the funny-looking rocks was, and here's what she told us.

The Price of Love is Death.

Originally from Sri Lanka, the Souto Maior family was an affluent one which settled in Goa in 1744. They conquered a major strip of land in the state and quickly became popular.

Dona Paula Amaral Antónia de Souto Maior was a witty, pretty woman and daughter of Dom António Caetano de Menezes Souto Maior, an influential and wealthy man.

She was said to be noble, charitable, and kind at heart despite her high status. Whenever she wasn't handling her responsibilities, she was helping locals in the neighborhood.

Her reputation was well-kept for a long while, until she fell in love with a poor fisherman. Dona Paula had an affair with him in secret before working up the courage to present her relationship to her father, who immediately disapproved of it immediately in fear of damaging the family name.

Heartbroken, both Dona Paula and her lover jumped off a point over the beach and into the sea, for living had no worth without love.

Most of the locals, with all respect still intact for Dona Paula, grieved her death (occurring on 21 December, 1782). They named the point after her to honour her and her undying, eternal love.

Romance Lives Forever, in Stories.

Years after Dona Paula's death, the two sculptures were installed on the point, which now give it the title of 'the most romantic spot' in all of Goa.

Legend has it, anyone who watches the sea from the point on a full-moon night, can still see the fisherman floating about in the waters as he searches for his beloved.

To this day, no one is quite sure whether the legend is true or if it's just a tall-tale, knitted by an elder to have the kids of the house themselves a good night's sleep.

Many even say that the sculptures aren't Dona Paula and her lover at all- they're of an anatomist who goes by the name of Robert Knox and his wife.

Fictitious or not, either way, I'd like to believe in Dona Paula's tale of true love, because if she had to sacrifice herself for it, surely she had wanted someone to have faith in it. My nine-year-old self and I now would be more than happy to be part of that 'someone'.

Oh and the best part? The sculptures were crafted by a woman, Yrsa von Leistner.

And just for reference and aesthetic purposes, here's a picture my dad took of the sculptures:

Pretty romantic, isn't it? I like to think that way too.
