Mood:
party time!
Just like every weekend I was planning to do something different but what different I had no clue. Apart from that, this was a special weekend for me .. why ? My new laptop I was very much exited to see that. So having no plans in my mind I went to the guest house for this weekend. I called up Veeru (People do call him Vaibhav Luhadia sometimes) and asked him to pick me up from Metro Park station but things are not as simple as they sound. I got a call from Circuit (Pankaj Pathak ...He is not a Bhai but some times to make him happy we treat him that way ) and our real don Tapan (Don bole to peene main) ask me to wait for them at Metro park and we three will go together. But as we all know Circuit some times loses his electricity went with his friends before I could reach Metro Park and now I am waiting for the next one Mr. Tapan. I almost waited for an hour and somehow managed to keep a smiling face thinking that he will come in another 5 minutes . After some time I got a call from Don and he said that he missed his train and will be there in another 1 hour. I had nothing to do but wait. Finally he came and we went to the guest house. As soon as we reached there, I could smell something like alcohol and later on we all started boozing. Vicky joined us and the real fun started happening from there. In between he played one song which was just like a any other song "Sama ye hai suhana" got into both of us and till morning we both were listening to the same song. And thanks to Vicky he played that song throughout the night. At 5.30 am in the morning Don told me that our Sharukh (Vishal Ahuja) might come and then we may go to Niagara Falls. Finally we slept at 6 am and I had a bad dream to start my day. I dreamt that everyone around me were sitting and asking me to come to Niagara right now. I was smiling knowing the fact that it’s just a dream and who would want to go at 6.30 in the morning to Niagara. I woke up and was about to tell my dream to Don but then I realized that it was not just a dream. These guys including Sharukh, Venky (Good contacts with south movie Directors) and Sonal (Only girl in the group) were actually around me, staring and asking me to dress up immediately.
In the morning session I only know that much part. When I came to my senses we were about to reach the 7th wonder of the world The Niagara Falls. Except then me everybody was very much exited during the drive and later on I came to know it was not because of we were going to Niagara Falls but because of Ahuja ji,who was our driver, and providing free experience of NASCAR Racing. As soon as we reached Niagara it was a time to photo shoot. Sharukh and I were ready with some Mohabattein looks and clicked almost 100 snaps in that day. In the mean time Venky and I went to buy tickets and Venky explained to me how exciting is the "Tram". He told me that we will go in the Tram first as it will be exciting to sit in the Tram during night time. It will go in the air and we will be able to view Niagara from the top. I was very much excited and we all went to the first counter from were we have to catch the so called fantastic "Tram". Venky who was leading us told everybody that from here will get the Tram and that we should get ready for the unlimited fun. Venky went to get the tickets stamped for the ride and when he came back his facial expression showed us some different story. We thought that the Tram would be very scary that's why he looked scared. He came and showed the Tram to everybody. It was really scary because it was more like an old pattern "BUS" which was a local bus for the Niagara Park. Then we realized why dubbed south Indian movies didn't do well in Hindi cinema. After a disappointed start we finally went to Niagara Falls. For me and Ahuja it was very much like Bhedaghat (fall close to our native place inIndia) infect sometime we felt Bhedaghat is better then Niagara. From there we went to watch Haunted House and a short movie with simulating chairs. Then Venky and Sonal decided to go Balloon Ride. We all agreed for the Balloon Ride and asked Venky and Sonal to wait for an hour. In the mean time we three went to buy some beer and start drinking. Venky kept calling and Ahuja ji kept replying back the same thing "Bus aa rahe hai ..Balloon kaha jar aha hai" and finally when we reached there "Balloon wahi tha ..chalane wala chal gaya tha ". Venky and Sonal were very much disappointed. Then for dinner we went to one Punjabi Dhaba. The food was really good. Everybody was eating like this world is going to end once we finish our dinner.
Later we went to Maid of the mist. The ride was the only way to fully realize the grandeur of the Great Falls of Niagara. Until you have seen Niagara Falls from the deck of the Maid of the Mist, you have little idea of the awesome power of that mighty cataract. As the ship heaves and bucks, approaching closer and closer to the cascading water, all the passengers are completely enveloped in spray. The deafening roar, the spray driving against your face, the hammering of the ship’s diesel engines as they force the vessel against the current, makes for an unforgettable experience.
At the end of the day it was a trip to remember.
