Tour de GOA

Let me show you the Goa, I've seen . Known for beaches and holidays Goa has another side to it. As tourist destination Goa has a lot to offer,  but  I wanted to see Panjim in a different sense, as pure ,as original, as basic as it  is. Here is my photographic journey  through streets of Panjim , capital cf Goa.

                                                      "market street"

 auto rickshaw is the best transport next only to walking. My camera liked this discipline of parked autos

Change is welcome, but not entirely. look at the old coloured window pane still remaining, only a part of it is replaced. Looks like  Goans DON'T believe in the glossy glassy modern architecture. :-)

 Busy traffic in the city center. Small cars , scooters and cycles too are local favorites. they don't mind small roads and one ways , but will not let the" road widening" monster gobble their beautiful buildings

 that's a shop in an upscale  market. who says only neon signage is upmarket. observe the ceramic tile name plate.   Even designer Wendell Rodrick's store operates in an old bungalow

 NOW  this is hep and hot and cool and chic. what fascinated me is not just the female biker, but her  kurti, the shoe the bag and above all her "bindaass" attitude

A boxer on guard to chase the unwanted photographers out. wow bowow

 Wish there was a to-let board on it . the goan homes are so beautiful and simple too

 A cart so perfect!!! Goa has beauty in almost every thing

 After that beauty , here comes the duty of life. a pensive fruit seller

                                                                           simply Goan ;-)

"HEN WALK "!!!!   why does it have to be CATWALK and CAT on the wall always. Here's the HEN on the wall  performing the balancing act

 the rains in monsoon leave Goa mossy every where. It doesn't bother them at all

 Goan architecture , Something they are proud of.

                                                       colourful residential colonies in Panjim

 The PROGRESS of students but Not for Destruction of buildings. A school still running in old goan construction.

GOD BLESS GOA.for keeping the old world charm alive
