Sonia's story was a real tear-jerker. Unfortunately that is the price of "progress". In Goa one finds such haphazard construction mostly in the cities, villages close to the cities or along busy highways and along the beach belt.
Fortunately there are still very large pockets of rural Goa that are untouched by such "progress" and one can still enjoy the pristine air, the greenery, the genteel life and cleanliness of an earlier era, as my wife and I can attest to, in our native village where we have retired to, as an escape from the rat race of the West. How long it will last is anyone's guess, but we will continue to enjoy it as long as it lasts. Vivian A.
