rambles on kaup

went to kaup beach again, last saturday. i really need a camera. how many experiences here just go unrecorded because i dont have a camera.

me, ss and ps took off to the beach because we were, well, vela. which is something we fight against all the time here in manipal.

went up the lighthouse again, ps has a thing for the lighthouse beacon. says it reminds him of goa. it reminds me of the lighthouse at nofra. pleasant memories.

walking to the beach is awesome. i'm suddenly barraged with memories. the smell of the sea, the sea wind whipping my hair, the crows cawing, the coconut trees swaying, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore...

i think its because i grew up near the sea, and then went away for many many years. now that im finally around the sea, i know how to appreciate it.

spent two hours there, as a prelude to goa. swam in the sea, waded out neck deep. ran into several people from class. its a small world.

walked back from the beach to the bus stand. its a long road, took us thirty five minutes. one tiny road winding through this village. it was dark, and there weren't any street lights. quite freaky. we came to two or three forks in the road, and didn't know what to do until we scanned for the road with our cell phones. we were telling scary stories the whole time, it was awesome atmosphere.

took a bus back to udp, and another one to mpl.

funny incident :
ss, while paying the bus conductor, "cough up some cash man"
ps and me - pretend to cough, hacking away artificially
ss, "something a little more productive!"

hahaha. well you have to be a medical student to understand the pun on productive.

oh man. so much to write about.
need to tell about the whole hand raising practice when it comes to joking around.
and my first autopsy
soon, soon.

i hope this high never goes away.
