Out of Goa this one time...

For all you guys who so dearly read my blog regularily here a loud cheer. thanks guys you keep me going.
now for the business this weekend...
This is one post thats only a little, about goa. Had been to mumbai from the 19th to the 23rd for a friends wedding and to catch up with some more of them. the guy getting hooked... Vijay Khandari. also met up with Sunil( was looking forwrd to that..) manish and this guy called gautam.
Actually had a vey good time im mumbai.... party...party....party.... but with nothing else to do, the trip ended up being all about soul searching. where do we stand, where do we want to be, what do we want to do...etc and certainly hope things work out as planned out. However the main point in todays post is going to focus on the journey to goa....
As the dark monsoon clouds gather over the rain starved and thirsty earth on the western coast of India, especially in the konkan region, the whole place erupts like a volcano into a sea of beauty. A true sight... to behold. And the best way to relish and soak in this miracle of nature is to travel this route by the konkan railway. (make sure to take a day train not to miss out on any of it.)
As for me I was travelling on the Jan shatabdi from Dadar to Margao. and it was not more than a week since the monsoons had hit. man the sights were from out of this world, and my tiny mobile phone camera could scarcly do justice to the beauty of the land.
This is definatly a must do for any one who loves goa and keeps coming here from time to time. For it more than makes up for the beaches being closed during the relentless rains. viva goa... viva konkan...viva konkan railway....
