Luckily for me, the resort the company had put us up in was pretty like Goan resorts are famed to be. And so I could put my photography to good use! And since I've been told enough times of my narcisstic tendencies, I live up to them by putting my pic here first:
But honestly, the hotel with lots of greenery and water bodies, was the prettier of the subjects.
This view, of the sunshine filtering through the wooden slats and creating a geometrical pattern of shadows right outside my room was heart-warming.
One of the best things about travelling is getting to see flowers and plants you'd never see in one single place. I'm not much of a botanist, but ain't this flower pretty?
And that, darlings, is the gold tinged sky that was tempting us around sunset from the conference hall:
But where are the beaches, you ask? For all their prettiness, I'm not a South Goa beach person and that's where we were! They are too quiet for my liking. And so, I had to wait to go to Baga Beach in North Goa, to really feel like I was in Goa!
And in the super-hurried visit to Brrito's shack, I got the time to get a temporary tattoo on my ankle:
I've been toying with the idea of getting a permanent tattoo for far too long. But I still haven't found my favourite design. Suggestions?

nice snaps !
Most of these pictures are sure wallpaper worthy.. In fact, print and frame worthy! :)
I can so feel your pain when you had to sit inside with a gorgeous sunset like that happening outside.
Tattoo is sweet..but still not your typo style for a perm design.
Hope you find yours soon..while I take some more time to decide about mine. :)
i am inclined to beg you for a couple of these photos so i can print 'em and adorn my walls. very well done.
awesome pictures...like a pro ;)
Loved the temp tatto design and me too been wanting to get a permanent one...let's see when and what do I get done :D

Oooh, I love the snaps.. And you HAVE to take a camera to Goa! even if u've ben thr a 100 times :D
@Shivanand PB: Thank you!
@alwayshappykya: Hi AHK! How've you been?
And thank you for those compliments - they're so encouraging :)
As for the tattoo, I am toying with the idea of a star, not quite like this or at this place, but like a nautical star may be. If, that is, I pluck up courage enough to get myself inked :)
@Roop: You mean that?? Wow! Thank you!
@Scribbler: Thanks! The kurti, oh yes, it's pretty - a chikan and muqaish piece that I love.
Absolutely brilliant pics....Taking the DSLR was totally worth it :-)
Nice pictures.

Isnt the first flower, the flower of paradise..

@Dee: The Guy just wanted me to take a smaller camera. The DSLR is slightly unwieldy.
@Prats: Thank you :) It was so worth it!
@Survivor: Thank you.
@Soulmate: Is that the bird of paradise or flower od paradise? Yes, it was something like that. I don't know exactly.
@Manisha: Mine is a Nikon D60. And I'm still figuring it out too :)
