Then, we decided to watch the movie : Moner Manush, but had to leave it in between as I had to go to Gym. I was afraid that the Goa trip might have added some weight, but my weight was still around 76, so I was happy. Then, I came back and ate biryani, and tasted Kaju Feni. Well, it tasted very bad but Dadai became a fan of it. He was out obviously as they all finished 1 bottle of Feni. Later, I moved to my room, and transferred the photos to my computer. Then, I wrote this diary and now I will watch the latest episodes for a while and then sleep by 2:00 am.

We ate a variety of things and it caused a lot of confusion etc. The train journey was quite peaceful and we reached Madgaon at 2:00 pm. We had lunch then, but the station's hotel was not that good. Then, we reached our hotel and relaxed for a while. Later, we left to visit a beach named Colva beach. We had lot of fun at the beach. Lots of photographs were taken by me. Then we had some snacks and head back to the hotel. There, everyone except for me and my sister started drinking scotch. I also had some and it was too little to cause any effect.

There was great anticipation about Sachin's elusive hundredth hundred. But, all in vain, Sachin got out after scoring 38, and again due to impatience. He played a pull shot off Bishoo and killed everyone's hopes. Anyways, on the other hand, Dravid went on and on. He scored a century and lifted India to 346/5 by stumps.

Anyways, I returned home at around 6 pm, and informed my mom about the exam. I started watching TV to distract myself and re-gain some confidence.
