Quotes

...Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961, and the colonial influences can be clearly observed in Goan ( "Goanese', which is sometimes used, is an incorrect demonym) architecture, cuisine, and lifestyle. Before the Portuguese rule, however, Goa was a thriving stronghold for Hindu kings. Hence, an alluring mix of Indian and European religious sites and artifacts can be seen all across Goa. A majority of Goans worship Mangesh, a form of Shiva, at the Mangeshi Temple in the town of Mangeshi. Among Christian artifacts and monuments, the Basilica of Bom Jesus, and the churches and convents of Old Goa (a city in northern Goa) are World Heritage Sites."
The other historical monuments too are deserted. "Only the Jayreens (pilgrims) returning from Ajmer are to be seen everywhere. The district authorities have made arrangements for their stay at the Kothi Meena Bazar grounds, but hundreds of Jayreens have fallen ill and they are all complaining of lack of amenities" said Bankey Lal Maheshwari, who runs the Sri Nath ji Nishulk Jal Sewa free water-supply network
...Surender Paul, director, Chandigarh Met department, said this would cause a severe heatwave in the city in the coming days. " Dust-raising winds would develop at times as the maximum and minimum temperatures are set to rise further" Paul said...
"The power supply too is playing truant. The private discom Torrent says it can do nothing as the generation in the state had fallen sharply and there were regular cuts from Lucknow" Rajiv Gupta, who represents Assocham here, said
