Returned from here. This was the first time I had been to Goa and it was fun. There was an offer for a full day tour of the local sights and scenes which we opted for. Eventually, the full day tour was curtailed into a half day one due to the pressing sun but that did not stop one from enjoying the serene nature of the beach near the hotel. Might be a good idea to actually figure out if one can go again… Picked up a book – With Their Backs to the World: Potraits from Serbia by Asne Seierstad – whose earlier book The Bookseller of Kabul was one I liked a lot. Just started off on it and amazing fact is that Amazon does not seem to have any entries for this book yet. While on the subject of books and Amazon, the hard copy of this book finally arrived. Satish is happy.
