It is weeks or may be months since I found something to write about and put it here. I still haven't found anything worthwhile but we visited a man made lake today, the surroundings of which was very appealing. I took some pictures and posted them here. Instead of just posting the pictures wrote few lines too, just to retain the touch.
Rainy season is my favourite season. When it starts raining in Goa, it usually
goes on for weeks. You wont find one dry spot anywhere around the house, washed
clothes remain wet for days, at least a dozen varieties of insects and worms
would be crawling all over our front yard, my patients step gingerly on the
algae covered side walk and we never get a chance to fold our umbrellas.
It is the peak rainy season now but we are yet to witness
what we can call a good pour. It hasn’t rained for more than half an hour at a
stretch. Needless to say my spirits are low. It has been raining sporadically,
the surroundings are greener and weather somewhat bearable. But that’s it.
We decided to make the best of a dry evening and went to see
a man made lake which my son had visited earlier and found to be worth another
visit. The place is Sarzora, about half way between Margao and Quepem. I was
hoping to see a overflowing lake but it was not so. Still, there was some water
in it and the surroundings were green and picturesque. It is not very well
known and hence devoid of water bottles and beer cans. (I have nothing against
beer drinkers but hate their ability to select the best of naturally beautiful
places and destroy the beauty in the shortest possible time by filling it with empty
beer cans.)
