Open Letter to Goa

Dear People of Goa,

Please do not make make Goa another Mumbai, look what happened to Bombay over the years, the rule to shut wine shops at 11 pm and restaurants at 1:30 only will increase your problems and not solve it. Let me give you the biggest example of what has happened to Bombay over the years..

This is what Mumbai had many years ago... A night life which included..

# The city was always awake. Not just fancy restaurants but street food anywhere at any time of the night.

# People would walk freely at anytime of the night without any fear (as there were people every where at any time thus making it safe)

# This led to less crime.

# No deadline to restaurant and party places meant people could decide themselves when they wanted to get home.

# This avoided all party people landing on the streets at the same time and causing traffic, noise etc.. besides most of the people not having had enough, cause they started only at 11pm.

# Oh we used to have tourists... yes we did...

I could go on and on about the past and if you check the news you know what the state of the city is that was once Bombay has now turned into....

Please do not let that happen to GOA...


Yours Truly,
A Goenkar

PS: People come to Goa to get away from their cites.. don't make this another metro!!

Weekend getawy: Kamshet - I Believe I Can Fly

Weekend getaway from Bombay, one our favourite places where we would go at least once a year if not more often, following is the picture story of one of the things you could do when you were there..

Its a hot summer day, the sun shines through the trees..

a group of people sit patiently in the shade of a few trees...

waiting for the right wind speed and a bunch of other factors.. 

finally when all factors are right 

the first batch of beginners walk to the base... 

 and the practice of controlling begins..

while the rest of the gang looks on...

 

while the first person warms up a few others also begin...

the sun continues to stream through...

A strong wind and the control gets difficult...

the trainer helps the student showing how to gain control over it...

and while most if the beginners struggle.. there was a stand alone success...

some almost taking off the ground...

with good control and balance..

its time to take off...

with the last few finishing off their practices..

its time to climb to a higher spot..

up on the mountain the parameters are tested again...

and after its all good...

its time to jump off the mountain...

as the wind takes them higher..

and higher...

and further up..

its time to return to the mountain..

and complete the first solo journey for the day..

only to take off once again...

this time with a passenger along... 

and thats called tandem flying... 

its when a non flyer gets strapped on while the expert takes off..

of course after the passenger has been given a few instructions.. 

they are given a experience which will last them for a life time..

some of the students as well. who have now completed their training... 

take off on their first solo flights..

as their week long training has finally borne some fruit...

and leaves them on a high...

and as the day comes to an end...

and the sun sets on the horizon...

its time for all to say... "I Believe I Can Fly"

for those who want to learn how to paraglide, or just want to take a trip up can check out the FB group  Nirvana - Paragliding India, They are located at Kamshet which is a few hours drive from Mumbai & Pune..
