Goa Fellowship: Of Great Times And Fond Memories!

Amidst the magic of rains, Goa transforms itself into an ethereal beauty. With rivers joyfully overflowing with their rushing streams, trees dancing to the tune of the winds, and mountains and fields covered with a verdant green carpet, welcome you to a land of unique experiences. And that is what this fellowship was all about.

Day 1: Our Goan revelry started just hours after our arrival, with a delicious meal at Fisherman’s Wharf. Its aesthetically embellished interiors in rich Indo-Portuguese style décor and furniture, provided an ideal setting for a relaxed dining experience.

Day 2: The first half of the day was dedicated to sightseeing, be it the famous cartoonist, Mario Miranda’s shop or some of the old churches that define Goa. We met for lunch at Baba’s Wood Café, right across the Miramar beach in Panjim. Our evening at the 200-year-old Casa Batra turned out to be the highlight of this trip. Set in an old palatial Portuguese heritage house, it reflected the warmth and hospitality extended by our host, Ambika and Dr. Mukesh Batra. Complete with live music, singing, dancing and a sumptuous diner, we called it a night.

Day 3: Our last day started bright and early. We reached well in time to cheer the participants of the Rotary Rain Marathon, organised by the Rotary Club of Porvorim. Prizes were distributed by RCB President Dr. Batra and an MLA from Porvorim. Finally, the combined brunch with members of RC Porvorim, proved as a perfect example of Rotary camaraderie. A truly memorable fellowship!
