I love how every time I read your work, I feel the calm and get transported to your world for a few minutes. I am sure most readers feel this way. It's sheer magic, Ila. Keep writing!
Lovely ! indeed the drive to Cabo de Rama and the place itself is magical. The other side of Goa , driving the hilly streets to get there, the green patches . Monsoon on the coast is something else.. The life is completely different in this season all along teh coast , no fishing , so stored fish comes out for the local dishes ...
Absolutely! I remember some of your earlier blogs about spending time along the Konkan Coast. I haven't done that much along Karnataka and Maharashtra, hope to do that soon!
Loved this. I've been to Goa only once in the monsoon and it was spectacular. I couldn't get into the sea but I also couldn't get enough of the gray of the sea meeting the gray of the sky at the horizon. Your essay made me remember so much more.
I have said this before (many times!) but your writing has this ability to slow down time. It is a rare and wonderful quality. Beautiful, immersive essay.
Gorgeous essay. Loved how contemplative yet breezy it was.
Thank you ❤️
❤️ Make it a series :)
Loved the article. Great work Ila.
Thank you

So much relate, Ila. Thank you for this piece.
Thanks Raju 🌸
One can enjoy and one can sulk - why dont i have a pad in Goa...and why do you have to write it so beautifully - it hurts all the more.
Hahah, thank you for the kind words 🥲
Beautiful essay! Could feel the rains and greens you vividly described :)
Thanks Sanskriti 😊

It’s so beautiful indeed 🥰 Thanks for reading!
Me reading this just after coming back from a tiny Goa trip
loved it! Goa is indeed best in monsoons.
