Goa is a small state on the southwest coast of the Indian subcontinent. It's known for its beautiful beaches, friendly people, and casual atmosphere. There are dozens of beaches catering to every type of traveler out there, from resort-dwellers looking for creature comforts to the more common bamboo shacks for simpler accomodations, and your environment can be as quiet or as active and louds as you are looking for. Goa is the origin of a type of electronic music known as Goan trance, and during the busy season (November to March) you can experience some of the best trance parties anywhere in the world. The parties aren't for everyone, however, just as India isn't for everyone, or just as a luxurious resort or a lonesome walk down a quiet beach isn't for everyone. Goa is another side of a multifaced India, just as the Himalayan regions of northern India are different from the backwater canals of the tropical south, and the rich Bengali history of the east is different from the isolated heat of the Thar desert in the west. There is much to experience and enjoy!

Beautifully hidden in the landscape, the cycle of life goes on. For future generations and the futurist who sees almost all we spread the earth in almost any form, shape or fashion. Like an open pit, with a driveway coming up to it. Bose it down, and bury them all said the Soothsayer.

This is where I stayed for nearly a month, with an ocean view, wind and waves, and past the lake is one of the most peaceful beaches in the entire world. Just take the bridge there.

What is redbeet?

This is my retro website, a homepage that dates back to the day when the Web was still coded with text editors, well-worn keyboards, elbow grease and Unix servers... the guts all neatly hidden from sight thanks to hyperlinks.
