This place called GOA.

I have been to GOA last year and I felt like living there for the next 3 months. I discovered this new way of life with the sea and all, because there is no sea in Hyderabad! I went again this year but to a different part of GOA. I stayed in cottages on Palolem and visited Agonda Beach and stayed there almost for half a day. Most of the pictures you see here are from Agonda and not Palolem. Palolem has a lot of activity and I was so immersed in them that I didn’t have time to take out my camera! But Agonda is different. It’s huge, serene and quiet. I hope you like these pictures.

What do you see?

Jumping on them waves.

I like to swim alone.

This is one of a kind image. Carefully observe and tell me what you see? Took me quite sometime to get this shot.

I was sitting really far away from the beach in the shacks. I saw this, and I pulled out my camera and stuck an 85 to it and VOILA!

This bird was playing with the sea!

The dog found these humans.

Who’s that chutiya?

Legs, legs everywhere.

Sand was hot as fuck.

The only photograph I took in Palolem!

GOKARNA

For many of us travelling is a necessity. Others may fail to understand it, but you do need get out of the city you’re living in and cut off all your ties with all the problems and comforts back at home and go explore things which you never will and can, otherwise.

Check out these set of photos from a trip I took recently to Gokarna.

We stayed at cottages on top of Kudle beach, Gokarna. It literally took us 30 minutes to find these cottages. The view is just too beautiful from there. There was a way to the beach from inside the cottages itself. It was very easy to get down to the beach, but it was very tiring to climb the hill after a lot of swimming!

Kudle beach is one of the most serene beaches I’ve been to. Here is a picture of some locals just taking a walk in the morning.

Sukesh being cheered as he walks into the sea. I follow him with my camera.

Maybe it was one of those stupid things where I walked into the sea with my camera(not waterproof) just to get this photo. Talk about being there at the right time.

I want to go there right now!

There were a couple of cats, mom and kitten I guess, at the cottages we were staying in. The kitten was cute but really really annoying. The mom was just too chill and kept posing for me.

This was at about 3 PM. We were trekking from Kudle beach to Paradise beach.

You have to pass by Half Moon beach to get to Paradise beach. A very small and cute beach.

And finally the paradise beach. It took us about 2.30 hours to reach Paradise beach.

Music scenes.

Spotted some cool graffiti!

We decided to take a boat back to Kudle beach as it was getting dark and we were really tired as well.

Sunset at it’s best.

We were wondering how he got there!

Just another boat.

I want you to see this photo, and then close your eyes and just imagine how it would feel to be on a boat, with the sound of the motor and the waves hitting your ears, and the cool breeze touching your face, and the sun setting down the sea!

Back to Kudle beach. Hippies playing bong and smoking up.

Scenes from Murudeshwar beach, Gokarna.

Mandatory group photo.

Our last night in Gokarna. Hope you enjoyed these photographs!
