There is always first time for everything, and the first time is always memorable. :)
Sulthan bettery beach is one of the very good beaches in Mangalore and one of places that we visit frequently. To reach the Beach we need to travel around 5 km by bus/auto and 1 km by boat to cross back waters. On 18th Apr 2011, me and my friend Ravi planned to go to Sulthan bettery beach. Whenever we go out, only one person handles the entire expenses and the bill will be sent to all the group at a later point of time. This time also we did the same, So Ravi agreed to take care of financial matters. As most of the telugu guys left Mangalore only 2 folks (Ravi and Me) went to beach.
We went to the beach in shorts and T-shirts, both of us decided to take bath, then we were concerned about the security of our cheppal, as no one was there to look after, we kept our cheppal close to one family, assuming, they would keep a vigil on them. We were enjoying the beach and the bath. It is almost after an hour, Ravi came out of beach and searching for something. Initially I did not care much about his search, later I noticed that he is searching with anxiety. Then I passed an order to the waves to carry me till Ravi, the waves obeyed my order and did the same. I reached the Ravi who was still searching for something valuable in the waters, asked him, what r u searching for. With a confused expression he asked me, do you money with you?, as my shorts and T-shirt do not have pockets, I did not brought any money. I told the same to him, with disappointed tone he replied, I lost the money in the beach while bathing.
Whhhatt…Yeah we lost the money.
We were thing about, how to cross back waters, because if we cross back waters we can walk the 5 km to reach our room.
But we do not have even a single rupee, we were just realizing the value of 6 rupees (2 tickets * 3 INR = 6 INR), I was just thinking how many time I was in this kind of situation, the answer was NONE. So let’s utilize the new opportunity to tryout something new. That is requesting other to give us 6 rupees. The name we use for this is begging. The most common and easy job. But difficult job for us at that point of time. Fortunately we saw few Infosys guys at around 50 meters distance who were enjoying with guitar and songs. We approached them and explained the story and requested to help us. The response was ultimate, not because we were superb in begging, but because we are fellow Infocians. We took 10 rupees from two guys (10 each) and crossed the back waters. We purchased 2 tickets with 6 Rs and kept one 10 Rs note with me as a memory.
The next dat we returned 20 Rs to those guys.
