Sometimes all that I can think of is a beach.
Today is one of those days when I have an aching desire to be on one.
Not one of those teeming with people, the women half sucking n their breaths to keep from bursting in a constricting, smaller size bikini / tankini, while doing a 360 degree overview of all those they survey from their gender - taking-in everything from the the snazzy Dior / YSL sunglasses they sport to whether they are partial to slathering Bullfrog or Neutrogena suntan lotion generously upon their toned (or not so toned) bodies...
While the men suck in their breaths or gasp for entirely different reasons...
I want to escape to a solitary beach right now...
What I would like to do most right now is to toss some gaily-colored skirts / sarongs (which I would have to purchase) into an oversized straw bag, fish out the dark grey sunglasses I have discarded (and which lie somewhere beneath all that is heaped on my table), rack my memory hard for where I last put the hat I bought while on my desert trip to Jaisalmer, borrow the lime-green pair of flip-flops from a college friend, pack the couple of books I am simultaneously trying to get-through, throw in my Banana Boat sunscreen tube, check that I have enough cash on me, keep some spirits and a pack of ciggies, and catch the next flight to the nearest beach (which happens to be Mumbai in my case, but I'd rather choose Goa over it anyday).
And while sipping a cool beer, take a stroll...
Alone.
This is what peace means to me right now.
Me.
Alone on a beach.
The waves lapping up at my barefeet, the azure ocean spread silently till as far as the eyes can discern; the beach crabs also ensuring that they leave me to myself. A yard further, there is a shack with a cane chair, an icebox, a hammock tied to two palm trees nearby, and a chaise-lounge - all beckoning to me invitingly, lest my body and peds desire some rest.
Pure bliss!
Something which no Rs-4500-an-hour-spa can give me. No matter how much they try to convince me

Heard of Vagator beach ??
It's one of the most beautiful beach in Goa, importantly not crowded much.
Yes, Goa is really a nice place to be in chilly winter of North India. But mind you, the prices shoots up to double during Christmas time.
I'd been to Goa last December with friends. It was one of my most memorable trip during college days as it was free trip, sponsored by my professor to attend HiPC-07 < www.hipc.org > conference held in Goa last year.
Instead of attending the conference for full day we used to take breakfast & lunch in 5 star hotel, rest of the time roaming around Goa.
Apart from silent beaches, you can go around for water sports, trekking, visit old churches, forts ( the famous DCH one )
and as mentioned in your blog " the crowded beaches as well loaded with babes in bikini" :P
So, don't think too much...Just pack your bags & Go Goa ...Have fun !!
I love images of the beach and the Nature in general. Your blog is quite interesting and beautifil.
