The door has a sign that reads: “The path to spirituality is through the smallest door.” – Rene Mey

 G is for Gobsmacked in Glorious Goa September 2016, Betalbatim beach, South Goa, India Gobsmacked in glorious Goa!! Oh yes, we so were.

But I do promise, that you will not regret reading this piece.   I pen these words sitting in the luxurious lap of nature. We are blessed to be living in a condominium which has sprawling lush lawns surrounded by Frangipani, Gulmohar, Palms, Malti creepers, Hibiscus, Jasmine bushes; and so many others.

When in God’s Own Country: Part 1

When in God’s Own Country: Part 1
