the goa'n pleasure

hii guys...ha, so finally im back to blogging after a very long break. hey hey, dont hold me responsible for it, exams is the culprit. it went on for nearly a month or so, sapping all my energy and time. i hate exams(not really). the good thing is that i spent my holidays in goa as soon as the exams got over....hurry. that was really fun.
i loved that tour.

there are many things to tell about goa. let me start with the goans first..i found them really friendly and helping. it so happened that afrter stepping
into goa, i climbed into a bus with my over loaded luggage. the baggage dint let me climb the stairs into the bus. a passenger(goan) took a bag in his hand and halped me get in.
this was somthing i had never experienced in my travelles. that gave me a very good impression of that place. i liked it the verry moment.
after boarding on to a seat, another fello realised that i am a tourist and began guiding me with the routes that take me to the desired places. he made me aware of the busses
ment for it. i felt very homely. the people of that place are really good and you can count on them.

the second thing that went very noteciable were the busses. they are actually not busses. they are not even tempos, i have never come across
a word to define it. its a bit huge to call it a tempo and a bit too small to call it a bus. its somthing between both, badly lacking comfortable leg space.
worser thing is the ratio they fill the bus with.in a bus with a with a capacity for 30, they fill atleast 60. i unfortunatelly got a place to sit, and when
my stop arrived, i couldnt just come out...i couldnt even move, it was soo overfilled. i spent a very hard time, splitting apart two people, who were almost gummed,
to make space for me and my bag. and i finally made my way out...i felt achieved.
