wel come man
i have just returned from the magnificant goa. the poverty and the corruption is as cruel as the beaches, nature, and people are amazing and full of grace. people have so little, and therefore become brilliant - as they have to unleash all of their talents and creativity to survive. and though sometimes cheeky, and sometimes using semi-manipulating storytelling to obtain full sales impact, people are honest, open and full of trust. i have never before seen such charming national traits. man power is so easily found and people are hungry for work. waiters working from 7 in the morning till 11 at night every day of the week make as little as 100 rupees (app 3$) per day and often are not allowed to keep tips. a fisher man or field worker make as little as 25 rupees per day. and mind you; this is in goa where indians from all over the country come to work, as tourism = money is mainly to be found here. the opportunities for win-win situations seem endless. we (ab fab o and yours truly) want to do good. make good people rich. help if we can.
ab fab o took these pictures.
this little business in the sand (decorate a cardboard box, place it in the sand and you’re in business) as shown on photo above inspired me to think that noochi should have an indian corner (and a theme corner from anywhere that i travel to, really). the next time i go, i will bring a laptop and upload photos of nice handicrafts for sale for as long as i am there. i will simply ship the goods on location, and thus not have to worry about storage or anything. how cool would that be. total zen!
