2020 is awaiting us round the corner and it will be wrong on my part to wrap 2019 without giving it it's due thanksgiving. Keeping aside all other talks , I'd rather just say that this year has given me the best adventure i could have possibly asked for in my dreams . I did planned my " THE ANDAMAN TRIP" for full fledged 6 days discovering whole of the south Andaman , north Andaman as well as middle Andaman . Check the whole itenary , i already posted two blogs on TRIPOTO:p . Here , I'll stick to the most amazing and fulfilling adventure i witnessed. So ,yes it was our first day in port blair and we decided to explore it including the cellular jail , the night market , beautiful streets and circle the town was to offer. The town is simply beautiful with its bare minimum chaos and serenity. you'll find yourself lost everytime in its beauty. I can just simply vouch for this fact. A beautiful rides around the streets with cool breeze and the sound of waves splashing the sea shore : Is there anything else to ask for ? well yes , the town offers you more than you can ever imagine. EVER!!
The next morning was scheduled for heading to baratang caves, quite far from Port Blair but easily commutable . Any biologist or zoologist out there , just close your eyes and head to baratang. You'll have the best time time of your life there with your love:p. It's a long beautiful journey going to baratang limestone caves and then to famous mud volcano , actually you are heading to middle Andaman now . The roads are bumpy covered with forests all over and you'll see yourself drowning in its essence with sunshine and mist all over .
Our main destination was Ross and smith island and heading towards it we witnessed whole of ANDAMAN because that's the northern most part of andamans. We dedicated whole one day to reach diglipur , where the islands our situated .It's a 12 hour journey from PortBlair and how to reach there my blog is an excellent source ,I must tell you that.t.
The heaven on earth , ROSS AND SMITH ISLAND was in front of us and to describe its beauty here is a sin!!!. There is something extraordinary about this island which leaves you bewitched with your senses just doomed out. It's incredibly beautiful and serene.
We stayed there 2 days and while coming back we headed to HAVE LOCK ISLAND. It's the common meeting juncture for each and every person coming to Andaman and it has all major connectivity to all other islands as well . The adventure that made our trip remarkable was none other SCUBA DIVING!!!!! After all Andaman trip is incomplete without you diving yourself in underwater and exploring it all. Have lock island is famous for scuba diving and I decided to give it a shot. There were other activities too which we did like snorkeling , banana rides and jet sking and all but the truth remains intact that nothing can beat SCUBA DIVING.
LET ME JUST TAKE YOU TO THROUGH THAT COLORFUL WORLD:::
Underwater world is an altogether world and you will never ever realise its uniqueness till you try it on your own part. The blue waters layering the surface all over is just the topmost layer we all see but the one who dives into it see the varied different layers this monochrome layer as to offer. " Appearances are deceptive " we all have always heard this , and i guess the same is applied here too!! The mighty blue waters engulf beautiful colorful creatures in its lapse that will you spell bound for one moment. The moment you will step first into the waters you will step back , trust me you'll say may be next time but then gradually you'll see alongside and you will find the best of your courage in those two guarded eyes standing by your side ensuring you to be safe and to have your best moments for life . After a while , you'll be provided with your lifeline with oxygen cylinder, your para gliders, your support system and you'll in those minutes you'll learn another sign language that you will use communicate. It's funny how some things can be learnt in just few minutes and sometimes it takes your life to get those turn on . your guards will make sure that you are comfortable and calm but you will lose your calm . you'll panic frenetically as soon as you will dip for few seconds in water . you'll just come out and declare -"I'm not doing it, anyone else surely can!!! That very moment you'll regret your words , you'll want someone to tell you - just goooo!! and hell yes , you will say , fine one more try!!! :p
You'll just close your eyes and you'll practise it again . mind it you'll still be afraid and alas, it failed this time well!!!!1 Well then ,those two eyes will just assure you to be in their space and just follow what they say and the moment you give your trust to them you will play well......
you'll slowly and slowly dive deep into the water with butterflies in your stomach and holding your mind you'll slip in water holding his hands , one step at a time .In no time , you are submerged in water , hell yes SUBMERGED !! . You will not even care an ounce about the outer world , you'll not believe yourself that are u really underwaters ?? Then suddenly , a nemo will cross in front of your eyes and there BLUE OCTOPUS , opening its tentacles like a spongy creature. The very second you'll see the green , red , brown , white , oh yeah PURPLE CORALS!! not one color, but amazingly beautiful different colors bewitching your eyes like never before. you'll see the old remians of some bikes , some antique species here and there and here you go another deep level , your ears constantly beeping in pain but your eyes soothing their corneas. you will have constant attacks of missing your breath but you'll hold your breath for something breathtakingly beautiful for you are just absorbed and awestruck by this beauty.
Never ever have you imagined the blue waters had so much mystery within them .For that very moment you'll want to stay their forever ,to explore all its depths , to dive deep and more deep till your find your all answers . It's a vast pool of magic where some answers are hidden and you'll just pass through them across. You will want to stand on the white shimmery sand that you can see with your eyes for you want to feel it because hell yeah it looks DREAMY!!!
Standing there , your heart will stop beating for a nanosecond and it will thump with much faster speed that you can't even imagine , exploding you in a bubble of emotions which you never witnessed. You'll witness yourself to be more calm ,more serene than you were ever and in that very moment , may be in that nano moment you'll realize WORLD IS EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL. There is an altogether a different world from our worlds which many of us are just not aware of !! I feel absolutely lucky to witness that altogether colorful world ,the world full of possibilities and never ending hopes . THIS ADVENTURE IS WORTH LIVING FOR , experience it , love it and above all FEEL IT ALL THROUGH YOU LIFE.
ADIOS 2019.
