Goa is beautiful in rains, the greenery everywhere, the heavy rains, the sound it makes, the cool weather, everything is fantastic. A simple drive to a grocery store for essentials becomes a wonderful moment.

It’s funny how modernization evolution and lifestyle adaptations take away something we crave the most… calmness.
My first visit to Agonda was a bit disappointing, it did not feel as exciting as Colomb beach, or Palolem. However a few days later I landed up on this beach to spend a weekend.
If isolation is what you seek, this is exactly where Read More
