Goa in Monsoons...Loner's Paradise...
(June 2013)
Goa in monsoons…I named it loner’s paradise…I would define loner “who enjoys one’s company amidst nature” and yes Goa in monsoons is actually a loner’s paradise :)
Just you and the lush green palm trees swaying in the coastal monsoon breeze. The long and winding Mandovi river bulging with rainwater and serenely flowing along to meet the encompassing Arabian sea. The showers bring an amazing transformation to the state. With the cloud canopy above you can spend time walking on the virgin sand of beaches while it drizzles. Sitting in the terrace overlooking the sea and spends hours and hours while feeling the mist on your face. Amazingly cool weather gives you the comfort on being in this heaven and enjoys every bit of it. Rain showers are so unpredictable that it can catch you anytime…and then disappears within a fleeting moment.
Red...Pink...Blue...Yellow...These are the colors of the houses in Goa and they look amazingly beautiful in monsoons when everything around them is green…
How do you deal with the questions like-
Goa in monsoons???
How boring???
Loner’s paradise… what nonsense???
How can you enjoy Goa when there are no parties???
All hot places and shacks are closed???
Well…well…well… How’s that when crowded beach turns into your private beach… you can walk miles and miles alone without bothering about the crowd. When you enter Goa you feel the romance in the air. Sports Activities turns into in your personal games like beach volleyball, football and many more. You can spot your personal shack which is open just for you. Spend whole day at the beach side while catching up on the reading you missed because of your busy schedule…sipping some beer and listen to your favorite music…enjoy exclusive Goan cuisine and most importantly spending time with your family and with yourself…evenings can be spent while having candle light dinners at beach side or at decent restaurants in Panjim and north Goa.
Goa in monsoons is something which brings exhilaration to the run of the mill lives of people, especially those from the big cities. Normally people call Goa the land of Sun, Sand and Sea, So true... but in monsoons its turns different... sharp sun disappears and the entire state is rain soaked and lush green…A leisurely day exploring quaint nooks and corners, watching the waves of rain sweeping in from the Arabian sea and getting drenched on the vast lonely beaches is the definition of a perfect monsoon holiday.
During the monsoons, Mother Nature is in her full element and brings a fresh aroma, romance and liveliness to this coastal state. Spend some quiet time by just watching the rough waters.
Family memory box…I do believe in that…we are the ones who creates good and bad memories for our family and kids…I always say holidays make you come closer to your family and relaxed holidays add so many memories …you can actually fill your memory box while collecting sea shells at the beach side, driving on empty beaches with your family, playing football on the rain swept empty beaches with the flying sand hurting your legs reminding you of the strong gusts of wind blowing in from the sea in tempest are experiences of a lifetime and add a lot to your memory box to savour throughout your life. Enjoy nature...enjoy rains...enjoy the wild sea and learn so much for….
...this is what Goa is in monsoons adding bright colors to the striking sights of Goa ensuring a relaxed body and mind :)
Happy Holidays :)
