Went for the 8;30 mass. I completely switched off during the sermon. Came home quickly as I had to head to Andheri soon after. Made some of the lunch and started off to Ajay’s place. Reached Dadar to realise there were horrible lines so bought CVM coupons instead. Luckily got a fast train immediately and [...]

After much planning about where to catch the movie, we finally settled for a place in town since Spider Man 3 was running at 4 places there. We decided to take our chances for tickets for the 4 p.m. show.
Landed at Eros to find a mighty crowd and decided that we probably would not get [...]

Monday, our last day in Goa. The week just ran by so quickly. But then I guess that is what happens when your having a fantastic time. I’ve never had a more fun packed week in Goa!
We were woken up early as we had to pack to leave. Crispin went to Badem to pick up [...]

I hate going to the usual beaches (Baga, Calangute, Anjuna) in Goa because they are extremely crowded and also because they are rather far from where we stay. Since the boys were with us we decided to head to the beach and take our chances. Valley simply surprised us with the secluded beach she took [...]

We were up (not so) bright and early Sunday morning. Quickly dressed and went for mass. We were sweating buckets of water by the time me got there. The was absolutely no place in church so we had to sit in the passage outside. Thankfully there were fans. Valley and Crispin managed to get us [...]

We headed to Badem on Saturday morning to have lunch with Crispin’s Grandma. We stopped over at Mapusa and picked up some provisions for her. Had a quick sip at a local cafe. We were pleasantly surprised when we got a lift to Badem by an AC car no less! We picked up a sack [...]

I was determined to take Ajay to see the Friday Bazaar at Mapusa. It sure is a colorful sight with the locals coming in to sell their wares.
I was a bit apprehensive about lugging the boys around with the huge list my granny gave me. But decided to take the risk anyway. Ruth had to [...]

After two action packed days. We decided to stay at home on Thursday and enjoy the laid back life characteristic of Goa. Spent a part of the morning over crossword puzzles. In the evening took Ajay to a place which to me is most representative of Goa I love- the paddy fields. Though the paddy [...]

We woke up bright and early Wednesday morning with plans to go see the museums that promised to be there in Panjim and the Art Park.
Ajay made breakfast for us ( I always knew he could cook to save his skin). It constituted of frankfurters tossed in eggs (the pepper
was missing though through no fault [...]

Quickly opened up the rest of the house and set up the furniture, gas, etc.
Introduced Ajay to his first semi ripe mango picked off the ground and not washed and cut!

The boys volunteered to go to pick up fizzies to keep us company for lunch. Freshed up in the mean time. Aunty Fatima outdid herself [...]
