The IFFI is here!

IFFI has come to Panjim! Yeah, unfortunately it can't be called a Goa thing because it's so centred in and around Panjim. But with the Chief Minister promising to make Goa the entertainment destination for Asia, hopefully in 3 yrs, entire Goa should get a face lift.
I went for the musical extravaganza held at Miramar beach last evening. Missed Tidal Waves- my favourite and undoubtedly Goa's best band- but caught Forefront at their best. They really rocked!
The highlight of last evening for me though had to be Subodh Kerkar's 'Installing the Beach' a kilometer-long installation on the beach. From over two dozen colourful saris tied to bamboo masts waving in the breeze to a forest made of shells, to teracotta figures, to illuminated castles in the sand, the installation was a site to see! And such a perfect setting too, with the night waves touching the shore just a stone's throw away! A good beginning to the IFFI....
