I lived in this nightmare called Gurgaon (touted as the "new India") for 6 months last year. They now seek to turn Goa into another Gurgaon. Well over a year ago, I had posted this gallery. Time to take another look - http://www.parrikar.org/images/Gurgaon/index.html Also, another account of, er, Googaon. With the number of ghatis streaming in, Goa is well on the way to becoming one, too. In fact, some areas of Goa are already there. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Opinion/Jug_Suraiya_Town_and_shitty/articleshow/2477494.cms Regards, r
