Raison d'être.
Why bother with a subject like ‘living in Goa’? There exist countless blogs, travelogues and tourist reviews about Goa on the net. One can find a wide variety of reviews and queries about the best beaches, hotels, resorts, transportation, restaurants etc. splattered all over the net for almost all tourist destinations all over the world. In light of the above, ‘Living in Goa’ is clearly not intended to be an extended travelogue. The objective here is to do two things. First, to talk about the tasks that one must undertake in order to ‘live’ in one’s second home, especially in India. These are tasks that an average traveller does not have to undertake when he is a just a visitor. I wish to share and learn from others how does one accomplish this task without going insane.
I have another reason for this blog, which is to dwell upon the issue of what ‘living’ really means. ‘Living in Goa’ is thus also an exercise in trying to discover myself, how do I want to ‘live’. What does it really mean to live? Of course different people would have different definitions of this concept. I want to understand mine better. The issue of identity, consciousness, space, time, goals all would enter the equation and herein lies the challenge.
Hi KK,
ReplyDeleteThis is such an excellent journey you've started...of sharing your experiences of a city you're beginning to know somewhat. I plan to regularly visit this blog to add to my own learning of Goa so hope that you'd update it frequently.

I was wondering how much your apartment was a month, we are always on the look out for reasonably priced apartments to rent for 1 to 6 months.

This is a pretty interesting blog. I am a student of law, in the fourth year, and I was planning on making a shift from Delhi to Goa to practice. The primary reason being, that I wish to live in an open and beautiful city. One that is free from pollution, has cheap alcohol,great food, etc. Do I have a distorted image of Goa? Or would you recommend the shift?
