Explanation:
The Great Goa Experience.
Atrip with the family is always fun. A trip to Goa makes it all the more enjoyable. My Goan experience was a mixed bag. Open this bag and you’ll see some amazing sleepy town imagery, winding drive-me-happy roads and authentic Goan cuisine. On the other hand, the shades of grey that Goa has to offer form a rather murky image.

But my experience in Goa was mostly happy. I drove around in my rental, got lost with the help of my GPS but in the process found natural beauty. And that’s what’s magical about Goa. It’s perhaps the best place to get lost for every corner seems to tell a tale. Perhaps I am romanticizing. But that’s how Goa is; she’s like that mistress who’ll give you pleasure, hear your sorrow, heal your pain, yet you’ll never admit about knowing her to society, for knowing her might be considered taboo. Longing for her company might be considered unconventional and living with her unacceptable.
However, if you don’t romanticize the idea of getting lost, I highly recommend hiring a taxi in Goa. One reputable name to go with is Savaari cabs that offer prepaid taxi services all across Goa.

Any city dweller will go to Goa, use her for fun and come back to hypocrisy. But move beyond the Bollywood image that is just a cliché and rather disheartening and then magically Goa has a lot to offer. And definitely much more than the dope culture that Goa has become synonymous with.
I must confess that I fell in love with Goa. I told her that I believe in her and that I am in awe of her. But housing the idea of living in Goa seemed as futile as domesticating a mistress. For one day the inevitable will happen. We city folks can only get jealous of the leisure the locals seem to enjoy.
As for the quality of life in Goa, if you can enjoy slow service but delicious food while sitting in a rustic, cozy, merrily painted restaurant then you’ll be a very happy tourist. My patience level seemed to increase automatically in Goa. Perhaps it was simply because the meal at the end of the wait would be lip smacking.
I have been to so many restaurants with amazing ambiance and mediocre food and it was wonderful to experience the complete opposite. It is difficult to pen down how it feels when one sits by the roadside in a dilapidated joint, perhaps one which may feel uncomfortable initially but ultimately gives you what you were looking for- the authentic delicious Goan experience.
