Do not stray in Goa

GOING ASTRAY IN GOA

‘Revel in your stay in Goa!’ So say the come hither ads of Goa. ‘Revel in stay’ or “‘r’ in stay” or ‘stray’ (in SMS lingo)! When you do stray into Goa, you find a lot of strays – cows, dogs, pigs, et al. The traffic strays all over the road, the said cows, dogs & pigs stray in to the traffic. Mining trucks, taxis, two-wheelers like straying into you, if you are dreaming - while driving - of semi clad belles on the golden sands of Goan beaches, even if for a stray moment! Sewage/garbage strays on to the beaches and the stench strays all over your senses. If you stray into the lanes and by-lanes, being adventurous, you become the victim of a stray dog and if you stray on to lonesome beaches for your self-revelation through TM/Zen, be sure there will be a stray rapist to demonstrate self-revelation by very different means. If you stray into a posh hotel, the security thinks you are a terrorist and check you accordingly including Police verification – just for a coffee and sandwich! Viva la Goa or is it le Goa or el Goa, damn, I have gone astray again.
