Some stupid friend kept pestering (looks like this is not a valid word in dictionary) me to write my experience with Zorbing. So here it is, dedicated to her.
- Woke up at 6:30 am and and made tremendous efforts to wake the roommate up
- Somehow managed all that and reached venue at 8:15.
- Some miscommunication had happened, and correct time to reach was 9 and we thought it was 8.
- We had some juice etc and I was being cursed by my friends (2) to why I brought them there and we rather should be going to watch Fashion Parade in IIMB fest or to the Bryan Adams concert.
- I convinced them that Bryan Adams concert can be attended even after this and we have already booked tickets so lets not waste.
- On the way we all three didn't get seats together. So I had to sit somewhere else where one boy and girl were talking about all topics under sun. For around 1 hr they talked about politics.
- Then I called up Kanny (shifted to Microsoft) and Dayal (PL now) and did some timepass. Increased my GK by hearing their talk. Did you know
- If a female in Rajasthan smokes bidi, it implies that she is the bread winner of the family
- Carrot and potato were not originally grown in India. They came from somewhere else
- Vasundhara Raje Sindhia (CM of Rajasthan) is a genius. (I forgot why)
- The ivory bangles that Rajasthani females wear in their full hands, indicate that they are married.
- Finally we reached to the destination
- We had to break in two groups. One for Zorbing and other for Raft building. We idly let ppl go the groups and at the end went to the one which had less ppl (Zorbing).
- There were good number of ppl and rolling the Zorbing-ball down, bringing up back etc was taking long time and we managed to do the Zorbing. It was good fun. Although the track was very small so fun lasted only for few seconds.
- One of my friends did it twice :(
- Meanwhile the photo session was ON. We even shot a video of ball rolling
- Then came the lunch. Those two ppl didnt eat it, except the 'banana' and masala-roti. I ate curd rice of one of them.
- Meanwhile I went to pee somewhere far in Jungle, thinking there won't be anyone. After I was done I saw a couple doing something. I didn't want the guy to be shamed of me (think why?) so I came off soon.
- Now raft building. Some confusion with which bamboo should be where and how rope should be taut etc. Somehow we managed.
- The life save jackets were not of good quality. But we went for a ride on our raft and came back.
- After this, the usual ritual of changing clothes took place. The organizers gave some strawberry shake, which went down.
- Highlights of the day were one guy who was boasting that he has swam in Brahmaputra so he doesn't need life jacket, but so that others don't feel inferior, he'll wear it. Other was a kid around 8-9 who was asking innumerous question on why,how,what,when,where. Uff. Somehow we were being decent throughout this, but at the end this conversation happened which made us (we 3) burst.
Father: Yes
Boy: When?
^~($*(#!(*%
Others were still wondering what's wrong with us.
- While going back, we thought we'll sit on the top of bus, at least for some distance. One of was not enthusiastic about this. One of the friend that we met there got enthu about it and went and sat on top of the bus. But our friend convinced us and we conviniently went into the bus. Some others also went to the top and came after some time.
- While in bus, we grabbed some of the grub that others were generously distributing.
- After reaching the 'source', we departed and my friends decided that they r not enthu about Bryan Adams concert any more.
Phew!!!!!
I never wrote this much even in an examination.
