Unexplored Haven in Southern Maharashtra - The Coastal Town of Vengurla

Image
So this post is about a weekend getaway with my family a few years back. We are totally beach people and all of us love the oceans. So most of the summer weekends were spent on North Goa beaches when I was home. Mostly, Baga or Calangute, or Arambol, Morjim, Mandrem or Querim. These, because I have cousins in Arambol and we loved spending time there. They run this little guest house and their house is literally on the beach. It reminds me of the house from the movie 'The Last Song'. So the trip to Vengurla was totally unplanned. My mum's friends family had been there, and as you know, women have this little thing within themselves that makes them want to do everything their friends do. So she wanted to visit Vengurla too. And dad happily obliged. My sister and I are anyways ever ready. So off we went. Dad was driving, and since it was our first time on those roads, and no aid of Google maps, we took a total of four hours to get there. It's just a th...

Goa is a place where every guy would want to visit in his lifetime as an Indian. So whenever you hear Goa, there is so much excitement and anticipation. Well, I got the exposure to it. F inally , I made a visit to Goa and stayed there for two days. Let me give you a brief insight about my experience as a new comer to Goa and the incident that has taken place within the span of time. Well to be honest, we planned Goa within 3 days after the internship, so by evening we started to call everyone to come along but never found any friends to carry with, maybe it was because of financial problems and the adjustment within that span of time. Finally just the three of us were ready to go there at the last moment.   Once everything was settle, I called up my younger brother Razo, saying am going to Goa, his first words   was “buy me a t shirt”, I laugh at him and   told him that I don’t have money. Instead told him the family financial (such a poor brother), He event...
