Well till 26 - 05 - 2023, this was supposed to be a youtube video but when I checked My gallery I realized I barely vlogged at all, and rather than making a video just for the sake of making a video I decided to write a blog post because, that made more sense plus at least I have some pictures to guide you through my trip. 

So what are we waiting for let's start,

02 - 05 - 2023

We left our house at 6:15 we had called a special car just for our luggage because we were 12 people with 20 bags 😲 yeah I know... Our train was from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus so we had to go first to Bandra and the amount of struggle we had was astonishing because It was almost peak crowd time in the train but thankfully we made it. After reaching Bandra we had to change the platforms with that many bags to catch another train to go to Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Let me just say this was a whole experience in itself.

We reached Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus at 8:30. We found our train and just as we entered the train the electricity decided to go off on us so you can imagine what our condition must be in this Mumbai ki garmi (heat) but thankfully the light came in 10 minutes we then had our dinner which we had packed from home and went to sleep and let me tell you I barely slept like maybe I got 4 to 5 hours of sleep which is very less for me.

Woke up at 7:30 in the morning sleep deprived with a backache and a handache. Got freshened up and sat for 5 hours with nothing to do because everybody was still asleep and somehow I was not in the mood of going on the phone which is rare lol. At around 12:00, Everybody started getting down at a different station based on what is close to their house. For me and my parents, our station was the last stop which was Mangalore junction and we reached there at 1:30. Our uncle picked us up, and we went to a restaurant for lunch and then we left to visit the hospital where my grandmother was admitted. We reached the hospital at 3:00 and left at 4:00. Then we reached our house at 6:00 and then that day we just rested and had dinner and slept at 10:00 which is too early for me. I was tired so the sleep was much needed 😴.

We woke up at 8:30. Had breakfast and lunch and left at 1:30 to go to the hospital to meet my grandmother because yesterday when we went to the hospital we couldn't meet her due to visiting time issue. But while on the way we stopped at Bonda Factory by Naturals, it is a place where you get coconut water in bottle at a very cheap rate plus coconut ice cream which was literally amazing.

We reached the hospital at 4:45 met my grandmother and left the hospital at 6:30 and went to my uncle's house we reached there at  8:00 to 8:30.

To get the context about the further day give my latest YouTube video a watch where I 'Packed and Prepped for this trip'

05 - 05 - 2023

Ok, So this day was my grandparent's golden jubilee anniversary I woke up at 8:00  and was practicing my dance performance with one of my sister. The mass was at 11:00 so everybody was getting ready in the house except for me. I started getting ready at 10:00 after a few minutes we all left for the mass. After the mass followed the function. The hall where the function was behind the church and the function went great here are some pictures from that time.





The function ended at 4:00 we all went back home while the adults were getting back in their normal clothes, I and my cousins recreated our 13-year-old picture the idea for this recreation was obviously from me. Here's the reel :)

Later that day we all got on the bus and started our journey to Velankanni. In total, we were almost around 30  people so it made sense for us to book the whole bus. Us cousins had a blast dancing to songs with the disco lights accompanying us. Oh, it was a fun night!

Let me tell you sleeping on the bus was a nightmare.

But somehow made it to the day and had dosa in the morning for breakfast and kothu paratha for lunch. The food in Velankanni was not at all appetizing. I must say the amount of DOSAS we had on this trip is an exorbitant number. At 7:30pm we reached our Inn and we were welcomed with one of the heaviest rains. We were 4 hours late by the way. After everybody got settled in the room we left to have dinner because we all were very hungry after coming back from our dinner we got freshened up, Us cousins played UNO at midnight we only played 2 games because the next day we had to wake up at 5:30 so that we can attend the Konkani mass. A fun fact about me is that Konkani is my mother tongue.

07 - 05 - 2023

We all woke up at 5:30 got ready and left for the mass at 7:00. After the mass was done we were all day out visiting churches. 





We all came back at 5:00pm changed our wet beach clothes and started our ride back to Mangalore again at 6:00pm

08 - 05 -2023

We reached back to my uncle's house by 5:30 some people left that day only to go back to their houses but we stayed that day there.

09 - 05 - 2023 

The next day we went back to our house.


10 - 05 - 2023 to 11 - 05 - 2023

Nothing eventful happened and most of the time I was bored and getting homesick.

12 - 05 - 2023

Left the house at 11:00 am giving goodbyes and then we had lunch. Our train back was at 2:00 pm. We boarded the train perfectly on time to come back home.

13 - 05 - 2023

At 4:00 am we got down at Thane station got a taxi and reached home by 6:30 am. Let me tell you it was a rough morning. But was glad that I am finally back to my home sweet home!
