[Nad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Endearing stories that make you want to move on to goa right away! I remember vacationing in Goa almost 10 years ago and buying it from a local bookstore and yesterday I found this in sitting in my trunk, brings back the sweet nostalgia of the time I spent in Goa. The stories in itself left a very warm and genial impression on me. They all centered around a theme of longing for something and were enjoyable.

Observant, simple and very real..
