Part of the problem, Rajan, is that more often than not, there is no bin or 
receptacle to put your trash in. I have been in situations where I need to 
discard junk from my vehicle and there is no pace to do so.

On more than one occasion, the Goan chauffeur has looked at me as if I were 
insane when instructed to return my unwanted material to the car.

I will agree with you though that the Indian tourists are 10 times worse than 
the Goan as they feel they have the right to junk their trash anywhere.

Bottom line, the city council or the tourist board has to provide facilities 
for trash disposal. Else you will be sending us such pictures for the next 50 
years.

 To Goanet -

 Dear Manohar Parrikar, when are you going to come down on this mad
 construction
 frenzy? Or are you in hock to the builders' lobby?

 Here is what is going on right now under your watch. I have already
 brought to your
 attention the mega-projects in the vicinity of Panjim. Our villages are
 not faring any better.

 Last evening I was in Siolim for a photo shoot of some of my favourite
 locales. Sad to
 say, it is becoming increasingly difficult in Goa to find a landscape shot
 that is unsullied
 by ugly concrete. I have seen so many sights fall one by one. The latest
 is the luscious
 sight of the chapel in Bamanvaddo-Siolim now forever ruined.
