Let's rank out the facilities you might like to have around:
1. good bandwidth (I think there's reasonable wireless bandwidth for
non-rich media usage in a lot more places than there used to be)
2. close to an international airport - just one internal hop away, maybe
3. great views - either the hills or the sea
4. close to a large city for supplies, medical care etc
5. Not crowded - good weather, climate, friendly people etc.
Some places that do come up as candidates might be:
1. south Goa - south of Palolem (2 hours from an intl airport etc)
2. Coorg (though it is far away from Bangalore and / or Coimbatore)
3. Munnar - a few hours from TVM airport in Kerala
4. Western Ghats near Bombay (not Khandala or Lonavala but a little off the
highway)
5. Alibaug, a couple of hours south of Bombay
6. Around lower Uttaranchal - Pantnagar airport makes things closer than
Delhi used to: Naukuchiyatal, Ranikhet etc.
7. Ganpatipule / Ratnagiri approximately half way between Bombay and Goa.
Any other thoughts?

Subject: [silk] retirement home in India?
Hi all,
this talking about the advantages of this and that city, I was
wondering...
It's still almost twenty years, and not at all serious yet, but I
consider having our retirement home in India (I'm not sure if my wife
will join, but she's not that reluctant; as we've lived there already
for twelve years, maybe this would be a good option).
What do you think - where would be a good place (besides the fact that
it's hard to tell today, but what would be your recommendations if it
were to happen in a year or so)?
Just one restriction is there: we'd prefer South India. I thought
already of Mangalore, but I'm not at all sure.
Cheers!
Martin
