Perhaps
it was nature’s way of drawing my attention back to its marvels, when the slight drizzle compelled me to raise my eyes from Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, onto the overcast sky. Perhaps I had not experienced such a beautiful familiarity with the rain ever before… perhaps only because the water reminded me of the most divine days of my life. I can still feel the sand between my toes, the salt on my skin and the sweet-scented air ruffling my hair…
Surreal as it appeared (more like a red carpet!) with numerous embryonic black and white spots spread across a pool that only grew bigger and bigger, the Goan vista evolved into a more distinct form of coconut trees interspersed with pristine stretches of sand as the aircraft landed at the Dabolim airport. Stepping out, air-conditioned atmosphere gave way to a balmy breeze, kissed warm by the Arabian Sea. Three years seemed eons since I had visited Goa last, more due to the digital display everywhere than the silvery silhouette on Dan’s head. Surprisingly enough, I felt at home as Daniel Pereira (my guide-to-be and a Fred Dibnah incarnate, with his black suspenders stretched so much over his undefined belly that it seemed that they'll snap if pushed a millimetre more further!) beamed a radiant smile and beckoned me over with a jovial, “How do you do?

A pit stop, and we headed towards Old Goa or Velha Goa – the native name for the state’s historical capital – setting foot right next to the Bom Jesus Basilica, a world heritage monument for the miraculous remains of St. Francis Xavier which it preserves since 1553. Amidst a veritable sea of tourists, Dan ensured I knew my trivia, “Precious stones and marble adorn the Basilica, and the saint’s tomb is made of silver!” It was late afternoon by the time I ceased marvelling at the intricate golden altars of this ancient.
