Voicing the voices in my head

This is my view at breakfast every day. Yes, I am a lucky bugger indeed!

We’ve done it – moved to vacation land. Been in Goa for the last three months, and these have been nothing like vacationing here. The first lesson we learned here: there are two Goas – always. One, the perennial vacation spot, and the other, where people go to work every day and holiday elsewhere. One, which is in “season”, and the other which isn’t. One, the isolated island in the rains, and the other, the party haven in winter. One, where we live, and the other, where our guests call us lucky buggers.

When we were moving here, I searched high and low for some info on living in Goa. I mostly got directed towards sites that had information on living and partying (courtesy, the hippies), or living here temporarily like a hippie. The others were probably too busy having real jobs to blog about their life. So, I hope through this page, I can provide some info on what it is like to really be living and working (seriously and normally) in Goa. After three months, though I’m no expert on the way of life here, I sure can help you find your feet, if you have moved, or help you decide whether or not to move at all, if you are considering moving here. You can help me add content by suggesting topics or asking questions on the comment page. You can also help me keep in check if I begin to rant or rave too much! Watch this space for more!
