Default Does Goa attract you?

Ask me. We Goenkars don,t seem to be busy like the Mumbaikars. Our transport facility is extremely horrible. Yet there is something which has been attracting people.

Perhaps may be the quality of life. Then iam sure many of you would say it is a state of mind. Nature has showered this place with enough beauty.

iam sure a trip to Konkan and Goa will make Mumbaikars envy us. I know Goa is a place for investment for many specially the Mumbaikars. Come Friday and Saturday one can't think of a trip to Mumbai. Believe me the train is full of Bombaywallas in search of green pastures in Goa or on their way to strike a deal. A Home away from Home- a paradise where thre is less uncertainity. In Bombay none of us are sure of our return journey to the small nestlings which we call home.

Iam sorry Mumbaikars. When we live in the midst of dirt either we turn a blind eye or doesn't seem to affect us. See the place from a distance it is not that beautiful as we all project. or imagine.kanaka




Unfortunately a mumbaikar refuses to move to another place. But there are other parts of the country seem to provide us better living . To be frank investors are scared of Mumbai.

Sorry I have slightly deviated from the main theme-Goa.

Hi Dearie,

I love Goa and I am another Mumbaikar who visit this place twice a year. I can never get bored of this lovely place. Its hip and happening at all times. The activa ride, the sea, the beaches, the games, the flea shopping, the sites, I do not mind seeing them again and again. Though I am a strict vegetarian and find it hard to find a neat Veggie joint, I still love Goa. I am planning a trip next month, hope it works. Calangute is my favourite place and love to hang around here.

Just Say Goa and Malspie is ready with bags!!!

Dear Kanaka M'am,

I am a GREAT Fan for this lovely place GOA ... I was dreaming to go to Goa for Honey-Moon but unfortunately my Exams fell on my marriage dates, it was impossible for me and after that I didn't have chance to be in India very often. But, my hubby knows my dream land is Goa and he have promised me to take one day definitely ... Hope I have informed you in my PM that Goa is my favourite dream place ... I am sure, I will meet you one day in Goa, Panaji ...

Dear Kanaka,

I love Goa. The beaches, resorts, churches, shacks everything! The merry making,the laid back ,no hurries attitude of the few people that i met. Its a great place yaar , but then whereever I go I want to come back home to my good old mumbai with all its pros and cons.Kya karron yaar , aamchi mumbai hain!

But yes i love Goa and i have been invited by a very dear friend to visit her place in Goa and watch the lush paddy fields from her place and enjoy the beauty of nature. Will visit her soon!!


Love,
Devika

Dear Malspie,

Iam yet to see the flea market. Being a vegetarian it is impossible to be in Goa. I have suffered that . Few years ago ther were no vegetables that suits south Indians. Now everything is available. You may be shocked to hear the vendors asking 'Do you want vellirikka'?
Do inform me of your visit. I shall PM my contact No. kanaka
