Kem cho ?? , majja Ma ??

This phrase kept playing in my head; 

As the sailing came closer which we dread . 

Prolonged sailing is in the plan , 

Captain announced with pride and Élan .. 

Two months plus it maybe , 

It may stretch further as I see ... 

The day arrived and we sailed out ; 

"For victory we leave , not a rout . "

Chests with pride and morals high , 

Every tide we'll survey ; maybe rock or Brie ... 

Gujarat greeted with chilly weather and browny water ... 

We jus prayed and hoped it gets a lil hotter.. 

The survey began with all it's zest , 

With morals so high the men never chose to rest ... 

The nights were freezing and days were cold ;

The streams choppy , ship pitched and rolled ...

Evenings , boats came back tired and weary , 

So exhausted, could not talk to their deary ... 

But next day morning , they again were ready for a ride .. 

Challenges awaited to be taken in a stride ...

 Captain promoted a very old say ..

Would make us dull , all work and no play ... 

The harder we worked , the harder we played .., 

Started enjoying the longer we stayed ... 

Mundra , mandvi , Dahej and ghoga ,

Yahan pe special Kuch toh milta hoga ?? 

Bajra rotis and paani puris had their own charm ,

More bridge top masala teas wouldn't do any harm.. 

Come sankrant and we all had gud and til 

We flew kites until our hearts fill ... 

Places we visited and made new friends 

Learnt their customs , taught them our trends ... 

Took care of all but fitness was a concern ; 

What should we do to make our calories burn ? 

Some hit the gym and cricket we played;

Golf and FIFA helped in the muscles we made 

We sweat together , together we bleed 

Like a big family together we feed ... 

Celebrated republic and also new year 

Grew closer together and more dear ... 

Soup on the deck on the starlit night.. 

Guessed and tried to get the constellations right... 

Now the work is done, for home we set sail ;

Back to our land , from where we hail..

This sailing will be really hard to forget ;

Very high standards , impeccable it has set ... 

Whenever down the memory lane I will go ; 

Fresh as if yesterday , all memories would flow ....
