Go Goa

Last week we celebrated our anniversary at Goa .This was our third trip to Goa in eleven years. Our work schedules don’t permit us to plan holidays often. Still then we have visited Goa so many times. One of my friends was wondering what’s so special in Goa. We can explore new locations instead. There is something special about Goa which makes us go there again and again. I guess no other place can refresh us in 2-3 days as much as Goa does. We have all options of reaching Goa..car ,bus, train or flight..That makes it really easily accessible even if it’s a last minute plan. Once you are near Goa you can feel the charm the magic in air..Small roads having so many twists and turns ..after every turn you get to see beautiful picturesque nature..sometimes view of sea ,sometimes beautiful coconut trees or sometimes just plain fields with Christian cross in between..

Goa is not just one place, its a blend of so many variety of beaches, places, cuisines, languages and cultures .Every beach has its own charm. Every shore has sand which is different in colour..some have rocks.some have height,some are deep ,some are crowded.some are blissful..but what’s special is all are beautiful..

The sea ,the water is same at all beaches..but what interests me is sea shows its different form at every beach..sometimes its playful, sometimes its violent, sometimes it seems angry ,sometimes its cheerful. When we are drenched at beach we can feel the sea and sky meeting and culmination of two unending worlds.i guess heaven is what it is..Sunset at all beaches gives peace beyond words..the mesmerising view surely is a mental relief to all hardworking souls..

Another fascinating thing is options available for all. From one star to five star you can choose from array of residence options. Every alternate place is a restaurant or food joint. I guess no other place in India must be offering so many cuisines at so less intervals Lavish restaurants, cosy cafes, beach shacks, small joints and so on.. most of them are open throughout the day.Also the ease of commuting is a great relief .If you don’t want to feel confined and want to save on ,rented bikes are easily available. What is surprising is petrol is sold freely in bottles at local shops  unlike in our city where there is so much restriction. Everyone enjoys there with the bikes. Single roads full of bikes. People are free there. I love the way people drop their inhibition in Goa whether its clothing, lifestyle , food or drinking habits.

People seem relaxed and at their own pace. No one is in hurry .Unlike other tourist places there are not many spots to see and very much less commercialisation. So you are not tortured by tourist guides. One can easily visit the famous churches, forts and markets. There are so many entertainment options for all. Water sports, nightclubs, danceparties, casinos ,cruise trip..if with children we can enjoy boat ride,swimming,beach games..so we get never bored. what I love is just passing time under sun at beach doing nothing but feeling the water and breeze.

The happiness and the enjoyment of people around instills strong feeling of positivity. The aura of Goa is energising. Peace,fun,beauty,adventure,music,dance,food, is what Goa all about..2 days or 2 weeks ..Goa is always a breezer for tired souls. So I always say GO GOA!!!!
