Once again I was at my favorite leisure land, world best knows as the Beach Paradise Goa. It was early morning start from Kolhapur at 7 AM (though initial schedule was at 6 AM) on the misty morning of November just after the Diwali. NH4 was covered under the blooming dark cloud of fog and presenting a real heavenly feeling but just after 40 km we were forced to divert as we were heading to Panaji capital of Goa via Amboli route.
This took about 2 hours drive from Gandhinagar Kolhapur to reach at about 9 AM at Amboli, to miss the most famous cloud play of Amboli and watch the splendid view of Kokan skyline. Any way we decided to stop at famous seasonal waterfall of Amboli and have memorable pleasant time of about 45 minutes there.
It was about 12:30 PM when we crossed the Mapusa by pass and by the time, delayed start from Kolhapur has forced us to change our schedule and instead of Colva Beach in south Goa we were heading for the Calangute Beach in north Goa.
This was the first time since 1993, that instead of going for have accommodation first we were on the beach and started enjoying till the mesmerising sunset. It took about 80 minutes to find hotel room at walking distance of just 5 minutes from the famous Baga beach. Having dinner and spending more than 2 hours [9:15 to 11:30 PM] at beach shack of Baga beach is worth to remember.

Goa Images, Reflections and Reality Thank You [3]
Goa Images, Reflections and Reality Thank You [3]
After a considerable long absence at blogosphere I am back though this might not be my usual presence at the platform because still the work responsible for keeping me away is at progressive stage of being completed but some thing can be termed as new experience or tour finding is forcing me to share with you all. This is my third article in the series and probably this might be shocking for many.
Goa, the beach paradise, is our favorite family vacation hangout, probably due to close location [hardly 270 minute driving] and calm cool enjoyable sea water deposits. This happen on the last 15th Jan when family members decided to celebrate my 27th Wedding anniversary [16th Jan] at this beach heaven destination, to give me some moments of relaxation, as presently I am working with www.amarbharat.com a website on tourism of India covering more than 10,000 tourist spots and detailed description of over 1000 cities, beaches, Hill Stations, Monuments, Religious places and Wildlife destinations, considering the solitary human power at disposal this is a real huge asking and quite tedious job. My data collection for another tourism site www.magicofgoa.com [scheduled to be launched in May 2009] is almost at final stages so I suggested going by bus instead of our own vehicle as this will generate effective opportunity to learn more about the local culture and life style of Goa people.
We left Kolhapur for Goa by bus at 11:30 pm which eventually was out of city limits only after the date has changed but surprisingly at 3:00 am when bus stopped for tea we were at the distance remaining for reaching to Panjim, the capital city in two digits [Kolhapur Panaji distance is about 220 km and normally bus journey takes 5-6 hours because Ghat roads] considering the spacey highway we though we will be reaching there by 4:30 am but when we awake again bus was at Mapusa, the commercial city and famous Friday market of Goa, hardly 13 km from Panjim, it was over 4:45 am anyway we were at Panjim by 5:15 am and here I learned that Goa auto rickshaw drivers are not different from rest of country in showing there unity, as while we were getting down from bus one auto rickshaw driver asked me about our staying hotel and ask to pay Rs. 60, which according to me was almost 150% of normal fare, but considering early morning hours I suggested him to take Rs. 50, though as per our pre scheduled program this was our morning walk as the distance between the bus stand and hotel is less than walk of 15 minutes. Auto Rickshaw driver refuse to take Rs. 50 and before we reach to auto rickshaw stand by crossing the road reached there. We took tea there and while we were taking the tea I just to know asked few drivers about the charge to our hotel and all were asking to pay Rs. 60. Don’t you think this is a common attitude found in your city also? Can’t we say Goa is not different from rest of India?
After a little relaxation and having bath we were out of hotel around 9:30 for having breakfast at one of our favorite restaurant [we visit Goa almost at regular interval of 12-18 months so this is natural happing of having favorite spots for staying and dining] and cross the Mandovi river by Ferry boat to reach Gurudwara at Betim on the other shore of river. Ferry boat station is at walking distance from Panjim Market, location of our staying hotel. This might be surprising news, existence of Sikh Gurudwara in Christianity dominating land of Goa, but this is a reality and surely many images of Goa are intended to bound broke with this. Rest of our day was spent in lazing on sea at Calangute beach and enjoying the water sports facility available there.
Next day morning we were intended to go to famous Colva beach which is about 40 km from the Panjim city, we were at bus stop around 9:30 am and what travel information we got from enquiry counter was not seemed adequate but surprisingly one of Kadamba driver helped as in providing more appropriate looking information, he suggested us to get the non stop Panjim Madgaon bus and get down at market and take shared taxi from behind the Kamath Hotel, which will charge Rs. 10/- per person instead of bus fare of Rs. 8/- but will save time of about half an hour. We decided to fallow these instructions and eventually a shocking experience was stored there. Panjim Madgaon bus took almost 70 minutes, 10 minutes higher than information we got for reaching Madgaon market. After getting down from bus we crossed the road to reach taxi stand. Here was the surprise stored for us as we have been told by taxi drivers as we are tourist so we have to pay Rs. 100 for four persons anyway we agree to pay just because we were stranger to place and don’t wish to interrupt our pleasure but here we come across with another surprise that taxi driver left stands with only four of us in taxi instead of normal seven passengers. It took about 25 minutes to reach the beach.
While returning from the beach we were with ample time left so we decide to travel by local bus. The bus journey from Colva beach to Madgaon bus stand [via market] took about 35 minutes instead of one hour as we were informed at Panjim bus stand. I am concluding this with putting a question to be answered by blog readers which was asked to me. While traveling one foreign couple was seating behind us and bus conductor after collecting the fare money said “Thank You” to that couple. The question was it normal Indian attitude of “Athiti Devo Bhav” [Guests are God] or the expression of decade old inferiority complex? Because we were also guest and so many other Indians tourist were on the bus but none of us was greeted with same words “Thank You”.

Blue Aqueous Marine – Goa
Blue Aqueous Marine –
That is something between science and myth, a blend of culture, traditions and modernization. A place in long shadows, calm cool, breezy day and long musical nights, loaded all the way with fun. Yes, I am talking about the one of the smallest state Goa , of India, a piece of land of about 40 beaches in the 
circumference of just about 100 km. “Go Goa , 365 days on Holiday” is just not a slogan for tourist attraction but is an invitation to live with history under the sky of modernization on the banks of fun and pleasure. The list of most searched key words of internet in relation of

Sea Shore Planet: Tourist Paradise: GOA [Goa Part II]
When it comes to beaches of
The beach was discovered by the hippies sometime between 1950 and 1960 hence still most famous among them and also referred as the hippie s beach. When you are laying there on the pale golden sand you will feel that a white rushing stream is speeding to embrace you. The beach is famous for its street market and all night parties; it is your bargaining power that can allow you every Wednesday to take away anything ranging from a swim suit to a second hand bike almost at throw away price. The music loaded beach is just 8 km away from the Mapuca, the second famous city, after capital Panaji, of the state.
Though it is a small beach situated in the west direction of Mapuca at a distance of about 10 km, but the calm and quite, wet brown sand and long shadows of palm tress makes it an attraction for tourists specially though who wish to have a time in peace away from the crowded beaches of Goa. Another attraction is the presence of best restaurants in the
Colva beach is for the people who wish to enjoy the company of family or friends with the only disturbance from the whispering sea. Unlike the Anjuna and Calangute beaches you will found this less crowded with tourist. It might be due to its location, at a distance from the two most famous cities Panaji and Mapuca. Colva will tempt you for long romantic walk on silvery white sand under the moon light and bright sunny morning will ask you to keep lying for some more time.
Surely the most visited beach just 16 km from the capital city Panaji, It has also fame for its holiday resorts, and is so attractive that it is often referred as the “Queen of beaches” you will found it perfect heaven of tourist with equal crowds of the foreign and domestic tourists. Here beside the water sports, children can enjoy the making of sand castles and in the beach side shacks you can enjoy cocktail with sighting the sea.
The Sun Kissing beach is just 22km from Panaji, with ruins of Chopara fort, constructed by King Adil Shah, at its north end. Pure white sand and doted black rocks are the prime attraction of the place. It is a beach, typically dotted with palm trees and sea green water with people in swimming suit and having fun in water and gives you feeling of life coming to a postcard scene. Lush green form houses and tall palm and coconut trees with pictorial Portuguese bungalows gives such a beautiful look that area is utilized by many film makers. Hindi movie “Gumnam” the famous suspense film, was the first film in which this beautiful sea shore and ruins of chopara fort were picturised to create mixture of beauty and fear.
Other Tourist attractions
Though it is no more a beach but place has some historic value and place for water sports, specially for water scooter etc.

Sea Shore Planet: Tourist Paradise: GOA [Part 2]
Sea Shore Planet: Tourist Paradise: GOA
[Goa Part II]
When in America or Europe or in UK people talk about Indian tourism the first word that is most probably pronounced is GOA and with the word everybody goes in the visualization and virtual feeling of calm and cool sea winds, lush green palms and coconuts, speeding boats on blue aqua and silvery sand. This is what GOA remains in the minds of tourist.
The fact remains undisputed, sea shores are the prime attraction of the GOA, but it is a hard truth GOA is much more worth for tourists than the beaches, even after a considerable long Portuguese rule you will find here many temples along with churches with the best of illustration for the outstanding and exemplary cases of Christian architecture , this makes GOA a place to be visited again and again.
Hindu Temples
History says that during the long Portuguese rule attempts were made for destroying Hindu Temples, however many Hindu temples mainly present in “Ponda” or “Phonda” taluka are reflecting the glimpses of Old Hindu divine light present in the area. Some of the most prominent temples are

Hindu Temples
History says that during the long Portuguese rule attempts were made for destroying Hindu Temples, however many Hindu temples mainly present in “Ponda” or “Phonda” taluka are reflecting the glimpses of Old Hindu divine light present in the area. Some of the most prominent temples are
Mangeshi Temple: one of the oldest Saraswat temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is just about 20 km from the capital city Panaji , at the Pirol.
Shri Shantadurga temple: This is yet another temple that is included in the schedule of most of the tour operators. Goddess Shantadurga, Goddess of peace, dedicated this temple is with a pagoda like outer shape.
Shri Bhagavati Temple: It is said that temple is old over than 500 years. The Parenem taluka situated temple [about 28 km from Panaji] is famous for the Dushera celebrations. Goddess Bhagavat Ashtabhuja is in the standing position and the entrance of the temple have two elephants craved in black stone.

Churches of GOA
Though for GOA you can say also that it is a land of churches because when we compare the number of churches with the area of the land, GOA is among the densest population of churches in India. Prominent churches include:
BASILICA OF BOM JESUS
The most famous church of Roman Catholic world was built in 1605, is the tomb and place for the mortal remains of patron saint of GOA, St. Francis Xavier [in near future I will post about his life]. This church is famous for miraculous phenomenon, St. Francis Xavier died in china [December 2, 1552] and as per his will, when after one year of death his remains were being transferred to GOA , it was observed that time has not affected his body. After every Ten years body is kept for an Exposition or public viewing.
SE CATHEDRAL
Church is dedicated to Saint Catherine and among the biggest tourist attractions at GOA. Tuscan style architect and the Cross of Miracles are the prime attractions, it is said that cross of Miracles is growing in size and according to faith of Goans, healing properties of the cross are unique on the earth.
Other churches of GOA are The Church of St. Francis of Assisi, The Church of St. Cajatan, the Church of Our Lady of Rosary, The Reis Magos Church, Church of Mae de Dens or Mother of God, and The Church of St. Alex.

Goa Images Reflections and Reality[Part One]
Goa Images Reflections and Reality[Part One]
"Images are the killers of the reality" I can't recall this or this type of words where I read but if you are visiting Goa with some of the images I assure you that you are going to find the vice versa situation , here reality is all prepared to kill your images. The first image that will go under the breakage if you are traveling by road is the Goa is the shortest piece of Indian land with most pictures and scenic nature. As if you preferred to go from the Belgaum, Karnatak, almost whole of the four hours of your journey you will feel mesmerised by the adventurous, fearful and scenic beauty of heights and Vallie's. Many of the,road side cliff top waterfalls will prove hurdle in your journey if you are visiting round the corner of rainy season and will force you to relax for a while at the door step of nature , cloud play during this time adds unforgettable experience to your memory. If your choice is go via the Maharashtra then from Kolhapur there are two options for you One by Amboli road and another by Gaganbawada Road though there is third option by Radhanagari road is also available but most of the visitors opt one from the former two. If you are traveling by the Kokan railway do opt for day journey to have the same experience that you will have by road travel either from Karnataka or Maharashtra.
Geographicaly Goa is situated on the west coast of India and its boundaries on the western side are composed by the Arabian Sea, Where as state is connected with Maharashtra on the north side and with Karanataka in the east and south directions. Population wise it is the fourth smallest and area wise is the smallest state of India. The state was under the Portuguese governance for about 450 years hence being in India you will found many things not matching with Indian customs and traditions, don't be surprised if you feel that life style of Goa is not matching with the rest of India, it is because still the ruins of Portuguese life style are very much alive in the human society of the state even after almost 50 years [ included in India in 1961] of Independence, though India is said to be country of festivals but here you will find the social stimulation towards the festivals only at the time carnival and to some extant during the New year celebration, thus here your second image get killed by the reality.
If we try to turn the history pages we will find that the natives of Goa are basically Saraswat Brahman who were moved from bank of river Saraswati to Bengal and were known as Gaud Saraswat, were shifted to Goa and during the era of Mahabharat & then were known as the Gomantak beside these Brahaman families some migrants from the south called Kundbis were the part of initial human society of the Goa. I am not sure but it is said that When Lord Vishnu was on earth as Parashuram, he defeated Samudra, the sea and since that time Samudra had never crossed the limit fixed by the arrow of Parshuram, which falls at the village Bannali [Bann = arrow and ali=village] presently known as Benaulim.
Some of the Dynasties that rules over the Goa are : The Scytho-parthians [ 2nd-4th century AD] ; The Abhiras, Batpura Bhojas [ 4th to 6th century]; TheChalukyas of Badami [6th to 8th century AD]; The Rashtrakutas of Malkhed[8th to 10th Century AD] ;The Kadambas [1006 -1356AD] ; The Yadavas of Devaguiri (modern Daulatabad) [ 12th to 13th century AD] ; The Hindu Empire of Vijayanagar [14-15th century AD]; The Muslim Bahmani Kingdom of Deccan [15th century]. Portuguese has take the control of the land somewhere near the 1510.
It might be surprise for you that in this era of high communication, Goa state still don't have own Television Transmission, there is no separate news channel for the state,you have to depend on Mumbai Doordarshan for the weather report and for local news on the not so much reliable cable network. The same thing is with the newspapers [though the scene is changing with a vigorous rate] This might be the due to the reason that during the Portuguese times any person seen reading newspaper was punished physically, the hangover of that mentality is so high that natives are still unable to get rid of it. Yet another example of this mental slavery is the tradition according to which during the tourist season [October- December] when Portuguese tourists are visiting Goa, state's cultural and tourism Minister remains present at Air port to welcome them, this tradition remain unbroken even during the rule of Hindutav wadi Party BJP.
Your another image about Goa that is going to become vanish on the surface of reality is the night life, the first thing that will make you spellbound is the start of closing of shops near around the seven in the evening and even in the major cities Like Panaji, Mapusa, Madgaon, Vasco you will have to search for an open hotel for the dinner after 11pm. You will be welcomed by the empty roads even after 9 O'clock at night.
This was all about the historical, Geographical and social life of the Goa, for the star tourist attractions which are in abundance here I will write a separate blog including the reasons why it is said" Go Goa 365 days on Holiday".
