Sun is rising at Vagator.. and I bet you are sleeping

On 17^th jan, we are the first to set foot on Vagator. We have reached before even sunrays can. We intend to enjoy pristine, unspoiled beauty of this beach, to have a rare privilege to spend some time alone with it (or perhaps ourselves).

As I reach near the shore, the feeling is immaculate. The first rays of the sun have just hit the ambience and perhaps this is the time when the elements of nature reflect their true colors. The sky is blue, the water is bluer. It takes good concentration to determine the fence between the sky and the ocean.

Vast expense of sand beach and all to myself… Can’t I pause this life for a while?

When I came to Goa I was of the impression that Goa is about nightlife, parties and lots of tourists. That I will experience such beauties of solitude was a total surprise. Boy... This day did start on a good note :-)

Sun is setting at Morjim.. where are you?

 16th Jan, 2012 Monday 18:25 (IST)

The previous 5 minutes have been a scintillating experience for me witnessing a fabulous sunset here at Morjim beach in Goa. Tired from the days work, the sun finally decided to dive into the water to unwind. As it composes itself, it is slowly pulling back the red and blue streaks that it has left behind. The sky looks like a battle ground of colors. Clearly it will not let go of the sun that easily.

I am watching all the melodrama lying lazily on a sand bend. Plethora of people accompanies me in watching this event. For few moments we all share an equal appreciation for natural beauty. As the sun has settled in, I can close my eyes and concentrate on the sound. The sounds of waves crashing on the shore dominate. Occasionally I can hear steps of people retreating back to their beach shacks. I quickly reflect on the day went by so far. Wild trek along north beaches of Goa, beach volleyball in evening and now, sight of a mesmerizing sunset, this day would be unforgettable for a while.

With the night approaching, I quickly head back towards my tree house. I need to get ready for a trance party tonight :-)
