Moving to Goa

 
Katharina Kakar (Author)
Synopsis

Many people dream of escaping the stresses and strains of urban life and moving to Goa. Katharina Kakar and her husband, the psychoanalyst and writer Sudhir Kakar, followed their dream and boldly took that plunge buying a charming old house in a tranquil south Goa village, where they hoped to find a whole new way of living and working.

Ten years later, they are still there, living the idyll and the reality of life in Goa. So which is the real Goa? Is it all about sun and sand, beaches and bikinis, feni and vindaloo? This book captures the allure of all these, as well as the festivals and rituals that punctuate the rhythm of village life. It portrays fascinating local characters, ranging from ageing hippies, beach boys and elusive workmen to the aristocratic residents of Goa s grand old mansions. But it also reveals lesser-known aspects of Goa: the hidden often shocking histories of its colonial past; and the debates and fissures that engage and divide Goan society today.

In part personal memoir and travelogue, in part an insightful look at Goan history and society, this book portrays Goa with all its paradoxes and problems, its seductive pleasures and, above all, its unique and enduring charm.
