Miramar beach

Entrance to Miramar beach, three kilometres south of Panjim, at the mouth of the river Mandovi. This was an accidental picture. I was trying to shoot a barge in the river, but it kept flitting between the trees, and then we were down by the parking lot with no view. I clicked anyway, got this.

Panjim’s coastline has been very nicely renovated (for IFFI 2004). The road to Miramar is considerably wider (and they didn’t cut any trees jutting out into the road; they’re still there), there’s a wide promenade running along the river, and new shapely street lamps give the whole place a Mediterranean feel. Panjim now looks utterly beautiful even in daytime, which is rare for an Indian city. If you are visiting Goa this year, you shouldn’t miss the new Panjim.

Two hours to leave for my next meeting, and still so much to do.

    this was the view from my college, Dhempe College on Miramar beach.
    
    The 2 guys on the pedestal specify some Communist symbol. Never really bothered to read that though we had lot of fun times on that beach !
