Weekend Retreat - Kelve/Kelva/Kelwa Beach III

Contd ... Weekend Retreat - Kelve/Kelva/Kelwa Beach III So we sat down under a palm tree grove with plenty of shade sheltering us from the sweltering sun. Playful waves came prancing to the shore and the boys drowned their adolescent confusion by latching onto the waves. Was it Kelve/Kelva Beach or just three guys going through mid-age crisis that we didn't discuss girls? May be it is because there was hardly any women on the Kelve/Kelva/Kelwa. Anyways, we kept jabbering and indulging in verbal jousts, pointless discussions about politics, condition of roads and god knows what! When the discussion threatened to become too philosophical, we decided it was time to take a dip in the ocean. I was the chicken, others were seagulls. I sat on the edge of the waves as they swam against the gentle surf of the Kelve/Kelva/Kelwa Beach. Finally I managed to shove my fears down some secret alley in my heart, and inched closer to the partl-cloudy-partly frothing sea. Step by step, I was drawn towards the heap of boys frollicking in water. Guided and advised, I joined the ebb and flow of excitment. The surge of excitment of approaching waves and the heave of relief. It was fun. Covered in sand and salt we moved back to the grove and headed to one of the numerous shacks on the Kelve/Kelva/Kelwa beach. This joint is run by a charming Konkani lady. We ordered some chiken, mutton and pomphret. We had to wait an hour, but it was worth it. We gorged on the sumptuous meal. Pomphret, caught some where in the ocean close to Kelve/Kelva, was succulent and delicious. Anyone who visits Kelve/Kelva must try the local delicacies. After finishing lunch we headed back towards the beach. Mino, sparkling wine, began to show it affects. Rahul and Shantanu found solace on the sand and dozed off, while Deep and I clicked photos. A splending afternoon turned into a gallant evening. We savored the sights on Kelve/Kelva beach as much as we could, and began the bumpy journey as the began to stoop to low. Kelve/Kelva is an easy alternative for goa. It is not as splendind or glamorous but surely lots of fun. DONE
