Goa Again !

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer. William R. Alger

So goes a saying! Myself and my wife also tried to be in a cheerful mood when we reached Goa last thurday for a three day vacation.The previous night was a bad one as there were a huge thunder storm that struck Goa, leaving the city quite marshy and dirty ! This time it was a planned vacation as we wanted to celebrate the first Diwali after our marriage away from the sound of crackers in Pune. We got down from the Volvo bus and were greeted with smiling and inviting faces of the auto drivers who wanted to take advantage of the early morning time and our sleepy way of conduct. We were supposed to have been picked up from the bus stand by the hotel folks but to our wonder they rather chose not to. The replied to our phone call requesting us to catch a cab and reach the hotel.We put our fury on hold and went to the hotel in an Maruti Omni. ..Rest later ...
