Oh man!...when will this rain stop?....it has been raining relentlessly for the past 2-3 days. I am couped up in my house, unable to go out, hang out with pals, and the frequent power cuts mean erratic online existence...ugh! this is getting irritating....
Last night i went out with my friends for a drive...it was pretty late and we decided to go to the village region on the outskirts of Margao city. It was a wonderful experience driving through heavy torrential rain, a couple of trees lay uprooted here and there and it was a good adventure for bored souls. We were driving through the paddy field, by now flooded with water and resembling small lakes. On the onset of monsoons in goa, there is sudden explosion in the population of Bull-frogs and people scamper through these paddy fields hunting bullfrogs...!Why?...well frog legs are an exotic delicacy in these parts of the world...(i haven't had the courage to partake of any though). Anyway we came across a group of jubilant youths who were marveling at the number of frogs they had caught and thought...what the heck! lets join these guys!
We rolled up our jeans and waded through the mucky waters to catch them frogs! And man were they huge!!...one was the size of my hand!...Wild eh?...Yeah! especially when now and then someone would spot a water snake sending shudders down my spine!.....came close to be bitten a couple of times myself!!...but i still live to tell the story....I only wish we had a camera to capture the fine moments of the adventure....oh yes, it was an adventure for me after being trapped inside the house for three days on the trot....it was quite a thrill!......one question to be answered though....Did i taste any of the frog-legs?....well it tastes just like chicken! So thats how the little adventure went...several details had to be skipped because of their graphic nature (read-the actual trapping and killing of the frog)
To continue the irritation....Da Vinci code has been banned in Goa....aaaahhh!! What crap!Looks like i will have to watch it on a cd.....sucks
