There’s a lot happening in our arts pages. The Serendipity Arts Festival was a treat for the senses with Goa hosting an exquisite collection of works by great contemporary artists like FN Souza, Laxman Pai and others and a plethora of innovative exhibitions and demonstrations.

Bringing the mix to a boil are our features on beach soccer, the travails of lifeguards on our beaches and an indepth and revealing talk with an award winning costume designer.

Season’s Offerings - Welcome to the Season Opening Party! In this issue we bring a double treat to celebrate the start of the festive season in all its pomp, vigour and glory. Apart from the usual beach belt, hop on to the new rides the Tourism Department has on offer.

This issue also takes a ride with Goa’s automobile industry to take a closer look at growth patterns and the latest vehicles in the market. We meet up with unique innovators who give free rein to their passion for cars and bikes. Regnar Fernandes from Raia is one such individual whose customized vehicles have found a fan following across the State. You can immediately spot a ‘Regnex’ body anywhere. They are real head turners. The duo of Nachiket Raykar and Jason Pereira also add a new zip and
dimension to cars and jeeps. The red carpet will soon be rolled out for the 46th International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Revel in the eight day reel fiesta that presents

September is festival time. While the Lord of Wisdom makes his customary yearly visit to Hindu homes across Goa and Maharashtra, Keralities across the State and back home decorate homes with colourful pookalams to announce the arrival of Onam. Eid is marked with equal vigour amongst the Muslim community. Catch the festive fever in our lead story. Behind the fun and frolic, all is not rosy in Goa. Two industry leaders Nilesh Cabral, Chairman of GTDC and Manguesh Prabhugaonkar, Chairman IIA, Goa Chapter, reveal the imminent perturbing trends in their respective fields. They paint a grim picture of the current state of affairs and call for change. Prabhugaonkar is both impassioned and honest in his criticism of Goan architecture, fast shedding its its traditional identity. From the venerable heritage structures to modern high rise boxes, he comments on the changing architectural landscape. Will we heed his warning and call for action? Filmmaker Dinesh Bhonsle talks of his journey in cinema. He’s films with a social conscious aim to entertain and educate and inspired by real life events.The arts pages brim with ideas, from  author Selma Cardoso’s journeys with the early Goan settlers in East Africa to what’s happening at ‘Animal

The Price of Freedom - In ‘Freedom’ by the French poet, Charles Peguy, God speaks of his concept of a free man. He compares our trials to a ‘father teaching his son how to swim’. Of allowing the child to take in just enough water that is crucial to learning as anything more would be harmful. If we apply this to our lives, the poet points out, He sends trials to be overcome, to be men…On the one hand, they must work out their salvation for themselves.

‘That is the rule. It allows of no exception. - ‘Because then, ‘it would not be interesting. They would not be men’. ‘We want that salvation to be acquired by himself, Himself,  man. To be procured by himself.’ While we can draw a parallel to our lives through these lines, closer home, to truly understand the price and meaning of freedom we need
to delve into the minds of freedom fighters like Prabhakar Sinari. In a candid interview he reveals the scars left both internally and externally by the many battles he fought for the liberation of Goa. Our special story recounts those memories and Sinari’s far from upbeat prognosis on the future of Goa as he laments ‘the ugly face of liberation.’ Has our freedom today been too easily taken for granted and misused, he asks. We also celebrate heritage in this issue. Our lead story focuses on a few much admired Indo-Portuguese homes that adorn the countryside and towns.

Last month we hopped on a bike rally for road safety, a major success as our contributor Aaron Cardozo found out. Imagine the sight of 188 bikers thundering down the highway! Still on the road, Sinead MacManus takes us to her hometown in Ireland, a little, quaint village full of interesting tales to tell. In this new segment, foreigners based in Goa recount their fond memories of their home countries. There’s much here to keep you flipping through the pages on a rainy, cloudy day. Enjoy!

Doesn’t the monsoons just stir up those happy feelings inside? Doesn’t it make you just want to take off somewhere? A trek or a trip to the waterfalls, the verdant hills perhaps? The season has plenty in store and we offer you a guide on what you can do this rainy month. Our lead story transports you into the open spaces of a trekking adventure, among several other tempting options.

Luxury has been redefined in Goa. Earlier, except for the five-star hotels offering visitors the only taste of the high life, there was very little else at the same level. There has now been a dramatic shift in the manner in which big bucks are being spent. Timeline Goa takes up the vistas opening up on luxurious living. We go beyond the tall fences and
CCTV cameras to provide readers with a glimpse of those posh villas, the beau monde and the savoir vivre as the idea of luxury continues to redefine itself.

Concomitant with fancy lifestyles is the growing popularity of golfing and yachting. What used to be a privilege of world travellers is now available closer home. Timeline Goa explores these new trends in sporty diversions and of spending a holiday on a hired yacht. Hobbies such as numismatics and philately have always been popular. But meet Sabestian Almeida with his grand obsession for guitars. He has taken his fretwork to a crescendo with his collection of 35 unique guitars ranging from the Fenders to Gibson to a Steingerger. Find inspiration in the life of Agostinho Fernandes, a differently abled music teacher from Quepem who has struck a chord with students from all over South Goa. Adversity has not dampened his passion for music nor his pedagogical skills. And with newer and newer models of cars taking to the roads, you need to take a close look at the assessment of different models by our auto expert. The month has been a busy one with the entertainment circuit abuzz with activity. The India Beach Fashion Week of which we were the proud partners certainly took things a notch up. Keep up with all the latest happenings every month in our pages. We welcome your feedback.

Take a ferry across to many of Goa’s beautiful islands still relatively untouched by the crush of tourism. These perfect postcards of nature and local village life will soothe you with their serene presence and provide you with just the break that you need. The rising heat these past few months has left lands parched in many parts of the country. Goa has been largely spared but fishermen on the island of St Estevam lament the pollution of their river waters, causing a loss in their livelihood. Certain local varieties have practically gone extinct. We also explore the other major islands of Goa, including Divar, Chorao, St Jacinto and Grande Island. Read about what our relatively secluded islands have an offer and set forth on a journey of discovery. Motorbike enthusiasts will be pleased to know that we have kick started a new column this month with a comparative review of the Yamaha YZF- R3, KTM Rc 390 and Kawasaki Ninja 300. Who wins the race for perfection on the road? Take a ride with us as we cover the tracks… Our art pages come to life with talented young practitioners leaving their mark on Goa’s landscape, among them ‘finger artist’ Alex Rodrigues, who in his unique, distinctive style portrays facets of Christian art. Too much clutter around your house? Take a leaf out of these women who highlight how the mundane can be ingeniously converted into decorative items as home or fashion accessories. Handcrafted items are still fashionable and provide an eco-friendly, sustainable approach to reducing waste. Magic can be a lot of hocus-pocus, but septuagenarian magician Reggie Fernandes and his son Agostino still have a bag of deception up their sleeve to leave you amazed. ‘Timeline Goa’ takes a peek behind the illusory, sleight of hand tricks. And in this scorching summer, it’s vital to keep yourself hydrated. If you’re looking to chill out with friends, try out some of our many fun cocktails.

Explorations have charted the course of human civilisation since the dawn of existence. From the great inventors and scientists, to the intrepid navigators to our original, pathbreaking contemporaries, their zest for the unknown has led to the unfolding of life as we know it.

Our thirst for explorations goes beyond incredible feats to the commonplace arena of everyday living. It could be even something you knew already, but have been compelled to relook from a new perspective.

For the local , Goa may be familiar territory. But even a state as small and compact as ours which is inundated by tourists every year, there still abounds pockets of unknown or barely explored terrain. Timeline Goa set out to explore these offbeat corners far from the usual places trumpeted by our tourism brochures. Join us as we discover some unknown jewels of Goa from the far reaches of Agonda in the South to a reborn hippie  haven in Arambol in the North. However, we urge visitors to maintain the still pristine charms and beauty of these relatively unknown zones of Goa.

Continuing with the spirit of exploration, we discover new night markets, ink in the finer intricacies of the art of tattooing and much more. In the age of faceless, anonymous electronica, it’s refreshing to discover that live music is still beating and continues to play on in Goa. Timeline Goa was recently privileged to witness the biggest live music jam in the country, comprising 70 musicians from across the state.

Find out more about one of Goa’s lesser known furry inhabitants, the otter in our special feature and the commendable work being done by wildlife enthusiasts to ensure their protection. We also take a pictorial look at neighbouring Shimoga’ s rich cultural diversity.

Timeline Goa turns One this month and we couldn’t be happier. Putting each issue together has been a labour of love, not to mention a few sleepless nights, crazy deadlines and all that goes into putting 100 pages of carefully, handpicked, curated content every month. At the outset, we aimed to offer our readers not ‘just another Goa magazine’ that would list out the much sought after parties, places to visit and the like. There’s the internet for that. But our journey has been one of discovery, of unearthing fresh writing talent and lesser known aspects of Goa and Goans from near and far to add more than a fair touch of the unusual in our contents. In this bumper anniversary issue we present a bouquet of content blossoming from all aspects of life, ranging from art, films and food to fashion, travel and much more.

Goa has been decked up for the season ahead with families separated by distance brought together again with the tables brimming with traditional dishes and sweets. As we approach Christmas and the New Year, Timeline Goa revels in the joyous atmosphere around. Explore 12 typical unique Goan experiences we have laid out or even choose a new look for the party season from the fashionable trends our writer offers.

The cover story explores Different Styles of Dance . It has taken steps in the right direction, with several schools of Western dance opening up in Goa.

These academies are not a tourist attraction, but institutions committed to the serious cause of Western dance in all its forms:
Latin American, rhumba, salsa, foxtrot, ballroom, and even inventive ones like Acro—short for acrobatic with all its rigorous connotations. Students often spend years mastering some of the more complex dance forms, and dedicated teachers are justifiably proud of lessons well learnt by their pupils. 'Timeline Goa' is pleased to present features on the various schools of dance which have made the right moves in terms of the traditional, the innovative and the joyously exuberant in Goa.

The Delphic Games involves sports with a difference. It celebrates and rewards forms of artistic expression, celebrating culture and the arts in its many dimensions. For the first time these Games come to India early next year with Goa playing the host. 'Timeline Goa' provides an eye-opening preview of these unique Games. Away from the sporting arena, we present an offbeat photo feature juxtaposing connected elements, newsletters from Uganda and the UK and a feature on the discovery of the remnants of a 17th Georgian queen by the ASI in the St Augustine church complex in Old Goa, among several other features and articles.
