Savour simple life at quiet beaches of Goa

By Ronit Roy

My wife Neelam and I both love travelling and we make it a point to go on holidays at least four times a year. I have travelled to a lot of destinations across the globe, but if there is one destination I like to visit again and again, it has to be Goa for the simple reason that it is a beach resort and both of us love beaches. Its proximity to Mumbai is another plus.

Goa still has a sort of slow-paced, village life. For actors like me, who shoot for days together, it certainly provides much-needed rest and peace of mind. Most of all, I love to hang out at the beaches there.

Being a vegetarian I have little scope to enjoy the variety of seafood and meat specialties that Goa is famous for, but I love dining at a restaurant called Banyan Tree. They serve delicious Oriental food. As for shopping, the Tibetan Silver House is where you get great souvenirs and trinkets for a bargain. One visit I will never forget was the year Neelam and I got married. We were in Goa and decided to take a stroll on the beach around midnight. We left the hotel but soon we realised that we were lost. Since it was midnight, all the bonfires were out and we could not see a single house or person anywhere. What we did was sit in a field and open the bottle of wine we were carrying. We had a good night out and it was great fun since we were newly married. For anyone looking for a short, relaxing break, Goa is the place. Explore Goa in your own way and have your own unforgettable experience.
