Doors of Goa

When I decided to go to Goa, it was tough to decide between flight options and hotel options. I am a person who will not book a fight till cheapest deal is struck.

It's like running towards hanging carrot tied to yourself.

Also there was concerns about cancellation of leaves or burdun of asking for a leave in first place.

Lastly when my office receptionist confirmed that the tickets can be booked on refundable basis but with additional expence, I was relieved and made most pathetic decision for this trip. The flight were 8-10 hrs break journey from Chennai to Goa. 

So, no worries flight are booked and we booked a beach resort.

We started from Chunnai on 15th evening and flight just took enough time to make me feel little anxious.

Anxiety of a person who barely come out of him cage.

We reached very late in night and faced first challange...booking a texi...for which we applied the law of ' suggestions from an experienced friend' and shared a cab with a bulky junkie guy who was initially asking about rave parties....but lately turned out to be nice and gave us few advices.

In the morning we woke up to a dead end....we need licence to travel along this land.

So in a 'not knowing about what next' situation we trusted our foot to walk till a junction where we were mentally abducted by some tourism terrorists for few hours.

Till now I was feeling why did I first decided for this place. Since I don't like drinking and I prefer mathematics more then girls.....since before marriage. Since this is a place where sea salt lifted by air melt iron skeleton of man made monuments.

So after this I had beer and my wife had water.....then beaches started making me feel cool.

Late that night a stroll on Calangute was enough for a continuity for next day venture.

Next day we went to Bagha and Anjuna beach and for me best beach is bagha. 

But Goa is not about only beaches, it has spice guarden where a millionaire is growing all spices for his use, sea boat ride where you can see dolphin and house of diamond business shark.

In fact I would leave guarden and boats behind for the small temple ....yes for sometime I like temple more then most of the things.

And ohhh yea there was a cruise 1 hr very stable journey towards a creek and back. Reminds me of my childhood when my mother used to took me to the edge of a water well and back.

But somewhere above guarden, beaches, boat and below temple is the air of this land, voice of this city and Warm houses.

The air will loose all your muscle for good 

The voice is there to save this air from-from rotting penance to painful freedom- from north to south and from violation to conservation.

Warm houses are there to serve you in any manner you want. On attainment of carnal freedom rest assured they will take care of you like a king.

In summary the doors of Goa are well open but whats there on other side of door is not universally acceptable. But like by most.

In fact Goa does't have doors it has open ground and this ground is pulling you towards itself.
