Delhi to Goa: A 2,000 KM Odyssey in Two Days: Living the Journey

🚗 From Delhi to Goa: A 2,000 KM Odyssey in Two Days Date of Journey: May 11–12, 2025 (Sunday & Monday) Vehicle: Maruti Ritz (2010 Model) Total Distance Covered: ~1988 KM Total Toll Paid: ₹3138 States Crossed (7): Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. 🛣️ Living the Journey The road trip from Delhi to Goa was my longest drive to date—nearly 1,000 kilometres per day, back-to-back. I have been passionate about long drives since my young days, when 300–400 km in a day used to feel like an achievement. With gradual improvements in road infrastructure, especially after 2005, driving 700–1000 km in a day became manageable. I have done the Patna–Delhi routes several times, each nearly 1,000 km, but this trip was different. Now over 60, and with a 15-year-old car, the challenge was both physical and mechanical. It took me a while to convince myself, but the traveller inside me gave the green light. 🔍 Planning and Preparation The ...

India's Suspension of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT): A Strategic Masterstroke for a wider Implications and Regional Ramifications

India had been contemplating the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty for several years. However, the recent ghastly attack in Pahalgam and the surge of public sentiment demanding action against Pakistan compelled India to unilaterally suspend the 65-year-old treaty, which had been mediated by the World Bank. Ideally, this step could have been taken back in the 1990s, but India, on humanitarian grounds, refrained from scrapping the agreement which is the lifeline of Pakistan agriculture. In recent years, however, China’s construction of massive reservoirs and hydropower projects on the Brahmaputra River—which may eventually reduce its downstream flow into India—has been a major factor prompting India to consider similar measures with Pakistan. Notably, the Indus River originates in Tibet (China), with India being the first downstream nation. The Indus water system comprises six rivers: the eastern rivers—Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi—were allocated entirely to India, while the western riv...

Goa Beyond Beaches: The Hidden Spiritual Soul of India’s Western Coast

Image
Goa: Beyond the Beaches — A Continuing Spiritual Journey Goa — that small, sun-washed state on India’s western coast- is often imagined as a paradise of beaches, seafood, and fun living. Yet beneath that lies another Goa: serene, soulful, and steeped in centuries of devotion and tradition. Its history stretches far beyond the shimmering shoreline — from being part of the Mauryan Empire in the 3rd century BCE to flourishing under ancient Hindu dynasties between 1000 and 1200 AD, followed by the rule of the Adil Shahs, and then over four centuries of Portuguese influence. This long and layered past has given Goa a unique cultural rhythm — one where temple bells and church choirs seem to coexist in harmony after its liberation from Portuguese rule in 1961. When India became independent in 1947, Goa still remained under Portuguese control. It was only in 1961 that it found its own freedom — and since then, the transformation has been remarkable. Today, Goa offers world-class tourism infr...
