Besides
the Arabian shores.....
The Arabian Sea gaurds the western region of India. The places on the
western coasts are usually regarded gateway to the western countries
particularly the Gulf region. Maharastra, Gujarat, Goa are few states which
form the coastal belt of west India. On Arabian sea is Mumbai, the
commercial capital of India. Also, known as the dream city Mumbai has
attracted people from all walks of life. The star attraction of Mumbai is
Bollywood, one of the largest film industries. The beaches and skyscrappers
are part of the topography of this place. The gateway of India welcomes
every one to this land of dreams.
God's own country Goa!
On the western coast is Goa. The colour, festivals, beaches and churches
that is what Goa is all about. Goa is very popular haunt for the foreigners.
Not long ago this place was notoriously infected by the Hippies and drug
peddlars. They have not been totally eliminated but their presence is almost
nil today. Goa is land where people are celebrating all the year round. Folk
songs & music combined with the local brew Fenni produces an effect
which is felt no where else.
The wild wild west
The numerous wild life sancturies and national parks sustain a variety of
flora and fauna. Cities like Sanchi had been center of Buddhism but now only
the stupas remain to tell the story of the past. But there are places like
Nagpur, Gwalior and Bhopal which are still alive and growing.
