I happened to get a copy of the Jan-Feb issue of Darpan, the inflight magazine of Alliance Air. There are three articles on Goa. First, On Lobster Avenue -- Vana Banerjee Bey doves into a sophisticated cology off Goa. The place is not mentioned, but it says "three islands" surround "Lobster Avenue". They take a boat on the Mandovi into the ocean.
Second, Notes from Eart -- Prena Singh Bindra goes wild in Goa. It's about the Western Ghats and "The Goa biot is the lower region of the Sahyadris, covering an area of about 600 sq km." Third, That Thing about the Thong -- Bharati Motwani spies in on a Goan beach under the guise of a sociologist. This piece is bit tongue-in-cheek. The opening para reads: The Goan beaches and beach bums are neatly divided into two. There is the Nudie North and the Snooty South. In the middles are the des upstgars -- the declasse Dilliwallahs, the mob from Mumbai and the busloads of triy-tripping Kanadiga clods who soak up beer like a platoon of sponge on legs. Well-thanked and frisky, they reacot to al lthings remotely female like Rovers responds to lunch. More addition to tourist impressions of Goa by non-Goans.
