Goah!
Ah I am back. Its been some time. In between have been to Goa, got horribly busy at work, still have pending work and rushed a friend to hospital at 3 early morning.
Much water wouldn't you say?
Lets start with the Goa journey.
Something about the place is so "not part of your everyday humdrum life."
Various forms of the human species tend to surface there.
First, there is the newly married couples with chuda et al adorning their hands. I have always wondered how one can honeymoon in Goa, I feel its more a party place than a honeymoon place but then again its my pov! Even stranger are the groups of people honeymooning together! Like really! So the couple would have eyes for each other and the occasional glance thrown at the bikini clad foreigners when they think no one is looking. They sit at the beach through the day and go partying into the night at your local favourite Mambos or Titos.
On an aside from the list, I have never understood the draw that either has. I think it is ovrehyped, dingy not to mention stinky where you would be rubbing shoulders (and every other body part) against some other stranger. Ofcourse this is the big draw for a lot of people I guess! The anonymity of the dark dingy place and the alcohol fueled losing of the inhibition makes it a time to bump and grind yourself against some chick or even better a foreigner. Who knows one thing could lead to another and you could end up in bed with her! :p Most times you would just get slapped or accosted by some towering hunk with biceps the size of your thighs! But every teenager worth his wet dream or mid lifer looking at something more than their wife would dream of one such occasion.
Second on the list comes the guy group. Its very clear why they are here. They are without their better half and want to have nothing more than the alcohol, smoke, girls in life. Most of them find solace in the crowd and wouldn't be able to move a muscle much less chat up a girl without the protective feeling of other friends nearby!
A new group of people I saw this time were Brit Indians. Boorish, loud they often seem to have sculpted facial hair, think they own the world, ready to chat up with anything remotely in a skirt and definitely if alone! Same incentive as group 2. No parents/wives/girlfriends hence do what you dont have the balls to do in front of them! Ofcourse the currency factor helps and they are willing to throw money at everything they think they can buy!
Next is the family group. I really want to meet one such group to understand their need for coming to Goa. I can understand if its a sightseeing trip and they want to soak up the sun and the sea and go sightseeing. Ofcourse there is much more to Goa than Titos! But I am not talking about them, I am talking about the ones who are coming out of Titos at 1 in the morning with a towel wrapped around a 1 year old kid who is being carried and pulling on the arms of the elder kid who is fighting sleep. Really what are these guys thinking?
Last but not the least, the foreigners category A. In some way, I am actually jealous of them. Wake up in the morning, breakfast, lie in sun, lunch, lie in sun, evening titbits, lie in sun. Right, please tell me who funds these trips then I can also go to the fountain of wealth and bask in the trickling coins! Entire families including kids who spend days or even months lying in the fucking sun! Heard of school? Becoming an engineer, doctor or atleast an MBA? Will reserve such outbursts for another post! :)
Category B of firangs are the hippies/broke dudes and dudettes who want to have cheap food, liquor and sex and if it can get a place to stay and earn some money then why not sing a bit in hot attire!
Right, am hungry now so shall be off. Next post shall be a continuation and I will introduce Igor and his friends, Francis, Jai, Singh and some others!
