It is our last night in Goa. Tomorrow, we head for Mumbai and our flight home early Tuesday morning.

Gosh time has flown by fast… no regrets though, as we made the most of every moment, living in present.

We all feel very fortunate to have had such an opportunity, and we are ready for more…

I had an amazing experience this morning: a traditional ayurvedic massage at Kailas, the Bhakti Kutir’s ayurveda center.

It was the first time I experienced a four hand massage. All in perfect synchronisation, rubbing, pulling and poking. It is not of the relaxing kind, but more of the energizing one.

After the hot leave stamps, you end up completely bathed in oil, from head to toe.

A tremendous experience. Moreover in these fabulous settings.

Highly recommended, and not just once.

To the soft mantras of Daniella’s yoga group to the back, the fading Kerala Express’ horn from beyond the hills far away, crushing waves to the west, night birds songs everywhere, distant cerebral ambiant electronic beats from the beach way below, short motor rrickshaw horns and laughs from the main road, an unexpected firework, a cracking tree, a scurrying rodent, dog’s barks, a touch of clincking chai glasses, a faint creeky wooden door, children whispers from above us, more laughs.

So many sounds, but so peaceful at the same time.

Lazy feeling today. Patnem is quiet as it seems many people have left.

Even the sea feels lazy in the way she brushes up the beach in long slow waves.

Little sand crabs pop up and scatter sideways all around, regaining their territory.

How sweet can it get?
