This is a typical party story where a gang of 7 chilled out to the core by marking their presence in Goa with their fashionable avatars and party vibes around. Well, life is a party and to make the most of it, undoubtedly Goa is that one destination in India. Anjuna is the most happening beach shore of Goa with the blended crowd who especially land here to party with no limitations of day and night. We were no exception and I said instantly yes when the name popped from my brother's mouth and that's how we have decided to celebrate the day at Café Lilliput, the one which looks huge with a crazy shore ahead of it.

After our late evening photoshoot at Vainguinim beach, we reached our hotel and decked up for good 3 hours. Before starting from Panjim, we thought of having food at our regular Konkan Restaurant and Bar over a few drinks. Again, I didn't let my brother drink because he was driving. After travelling in our car for 20km, we have reached the party destination. It was a Tuesday night and the crowd was still happening because this particular shore never sleeps. We entered through the paths filled with colourful lights, already giving the disco vibe from the entrance itself.

The club was filled with music and the DJ was playing groovy dancing tracks which went on trance tracks after a while though. As we were a group, we thought of opting for the big table with a sea view and fortunately, we got the best spot imitating the rooftop side table where one could witness waves hitting the beach shore over colourful lights cast over them right opposite to us.

If you ever end up in Café Lilliput, you must try hookah for sure as this place is the only destination where I feel like having hookah every time I visit. So soon after we settled, we have ordered a full hookah pot with Sex on the Beach flavour and a 5 litres draught beer, a whole pizza and some fries to munch on. We were exploring the interiors of the club and capturing pictures before the order arrived.

Soon after everything was on our table, we couldn't stop savouring, but before everything else, we couldn't resist capturing crazy clicks. While vacationing, one shouldn't feel embarrassed or shy to capture every moment because that help to cherish a place and the people which indeed motivate us to plan for the next trip. We were quite engaged with hookah, beer, and food on the table. And meanwhile, we checked out the dance floor and danced like crazy as it wasn't crowded at all. We were happy doing our salsa moves and embracing the club atmosphere over the disco setup. Gradually, we were high and decided to explore the exteriors.

It's a simple shore but beautifully lit with colourful lights around and one could easily hear the tracks played from the club even over the noises of waves. We were high, yes, but we made sure we safely end up at the shore to enjoy the view. But those trance tracks kicked into our veins and we could see ourselves getting our feet wet. Gradually, we all were drenched with the waves and danced on the shore to that music, I think we surely will remember those moments forever even though we were sloshed.

We danced for a good time and no one has interrupted us because I made sure my people were on the right edge. And hardly there were people at that time which was 2 pm. We finished everything, we were sloshed and high and finally we were exhausted. And again, I thought of spending some time alone and hence decided to walk on the edge of the cold shore. If you walk on Anjuna beach, you find clubs popping up all the way and I could find many clubs making their nights quite awake with their customers around.

I came back to my people and by then they were already heading back to the club. One has to climb the stairs to reach the inner club and it was monsoon, the stairs were mossy as they were made out of rocks. But somehow we managed to climb up and down. It was one of our intense clubbing nights in Goa. And then we realized that we had to head back to Panjim.

But everyone was sloshed and exhausted. Hence we took quite a time to settle our sweaty souls in the open parking lot of Cafe lilliput. We came out and dried ourselves over the beach breeze. It was monsoon midnight and the air was fresh enough to take away our high moods. We chilled out for a while by playing music and I wasn't tired completely and ended up entertaining a bit by dancing over there too. I was all about YOLO and that's how it all went.

And then we started back to Panjim around 4 in the morning and thankfully we have decided to start at that time because the cops were there in the midway. Drinks were in our nerves were sure but we were already sobering up for good. We have shown our identity proofs and told the reason behind the visit to Goa during the pandemic situation. The police were convinced as we were carrying all the required proofs regarding ourselves and the car too. It was a glitch though but we were also cautious about these interruptions and we were prepared indeed.

By crossing the famous Atal Setu, in the dark early mornings of Goa, we have reached our hotel safely in Panjim. We were starving again, thankfully we stocked a few snacks. We had them and crashed in our respective rooms with crazy smiles on our faces. That dancing on the shore surely was a symbol of freedom!
