Don’t worry – he tells me!
This is a modern day Vishnu for me. A calming, don’t panic image-support for me. When I want to do many things, thinking have to do all the things and have no time, absolutely no time and energy left then this evergreen image saves me. Like God Vishnu you can sleep on a deadly serpent and be in utter bliss.
(can’t remember where did I get this image from, perhaps a card or back cover of a book!)
Baga beach
I still have a few conch shells and pebbles I had picked up from beaches of Goa when I went there as a teenager. There was no Konkan Rail at that time and so no Konkan Ghat stunning scenic beauty on our way to Goa from Mumbai. But I remember being surrounded in the mist of ocean while coming back at night by bus.
Through these random images I hope you get the whole picture of Goa- today and history as well as architecture. The Portuguese encounter in Goa has ensured uniqueness in culture and architecture.
