In an indication that adventure sports remain risky, a 49 year old Bengali tourist ShashiShekar Prasad from West Bengal died after a paragliding accident at Colva beach in South Goa. The bengali tourist had come to Goa along with his wife and children for a cloth merchants conference at a hotel in Utorda. On 24 May 2016, at approximately 3.30 pm he went to Colva beach with his wife for a boat ride. Due to rough seas, the boat ride was not available so he decided to go for paragliding. Initially he was apprehensive because of his weight, however the paragliding operator ignore his concerns.
Soon after he was ejected the hook of the suit, parachute for paragliding came off and Prasad fell into the sea less than a kilometer from the beach. Though the lifeguards present at the beach had speedboats, it took them approximately ten minutes to help Prasad and it was too late, he was declared dead when taken to Hospicio Hospital in Margao.
The Goa government reacted to the incident and banned all adventure activities. Later it was announced that only winch parasailing and jet skiing would be allowed till May 30, 2016. Traditionally water sports are not allowed after May 31 every year till the monsoon recedes due to choppy weather.

Goan gsb fraud R&AW employee sidhi gadkar has a holiday in Manali with black money
The powerful fraud tata, google officials are so ruthless in defaming India’s largest female domain investor, that they allegedly falsely claim that the lazy greedy goan gsb fraud R&AW employee diploma holder siddhi gadkar who has not invested any money online, owns the domain names including this one, and the associated paypal account to give the mediocre lazy goan fraud a monthly salary.
So because of the great ntro, nsa, cia, google, tata fraud, sidhi gadkar is getting a good salary, and great powers which she is misusing to run an impersonation/extortion racket, making her extremely wealthy with a lot of black money. In addition to booking a new car, every quarter she will make a week long trip to some other part of India on a holiday. In November, december 2015 she was on a north India trip, in February 2016, she was in Mumbai and in May 2016 she was in Manali. Before google, tata got her a lucrative R&AW job with fake resume, investment goan gsb fraud siddhi gadkar led a very ordinary life, now she has plenty of money and splurges regularly.
Just a trip to Mumbai for 3-4 days can cost more than Rs10000 for a person, without staying in a hotel. So it appears that R&AW employee sidhi gadkar is making approximately Rs 50000 or more every quarter as black money or extortion money as a R&AW employee. If she will spend the black money in Goa it will be immediately noticed, so she is going on holidays elsewhere in India to spend the black money she has extorted from the domain investor and others.
If she will spend the money abroad, it can be risky, as travelers have to declare the currency they are carrying. Hence she is making periodic trips to different places. In most companies, junior staff are allowed only one vacation in a year, yet the cunning siddhi gadkar is making multiple trips indicating that the holidays may be a secret mission, Any person with any kind of information on the many holidays of siddhi gadkar can send the details .
When will google, tata, ntro, raw, cbi stop falsely claiming that the R&AW employee siddhi gadkar , who is least interested in working or investing online, owns the website and the associated paypal account.

Fishermen’s agitation in Goa affecting casinos
As the fishermen started agitating against the led powered trawlers affecting their livelihood, and blocked the river Mandovi , it appears that the offshore casinos like Deltin Jaqk, Casino Pride which are floating in the river Mandovi have been affected to some extent. It had become difficult for the boats that got the tourists from the jetty to the casinos to navigate the river which was blocked.
The media reported that the number of trips to the casinos had been curtailed to some extent. Most of the tourists to the casinos of Goa are from North India, where they have plenty of money, and the people are fascinated by the sea coast, beaches of Goa.
This year, the fisheries catch in Goa has reduced drastically and it appears that unless the matter is resolved, there are likely to be more agitations.
Fewer Tourists in Goa during summer
The high levels of humidity in coastal areas of goa make the weather extremely unpleasant, and there are relatively few tourists in the state. However goa remains notorious in the rest of India for drinks and drugs, so on weekends, especially long weekends, there are a large number of tourists from all over india. One newspaper reported that a large number of the tourists are young men from neighbouring states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, AP who come to goa for cheap drinks and drugs.
Though shack owners and other tourist service providers are able to make money during the weekends as most of the tourists are having jobs,from Monday to Friday they have relatively less business.
Cheap airtickets on national carrier
To reduce the losses, it appears that Air India is now focussing on ensuring that the airplanes carry the maximum number of passengers in a flight. Instead of spending money on promos and advertising which may or may not result in sales, it appears that they are focussing on the cost conscious traveller, whose schedule is flexible, and wishes to save money. In January 2016, AirIndia tickets were priced far higher than the private budget and other airlines, so passengers preferred the private airlines.
However in April 2016 for both the Goa to Mumbai and Mumbai to Goa route, the rates offered by Air India were far lower than the private sector airlines. Air India also has a frequent flyer program which can help a person get an almost free flight on Air India, if he or she will make a few trips using the airlines. Free food provided during the flight is another advantage of travelling. The flight may be slightly delayed, however people who are not very busy can tolerate the opportunity to observe the latest fashion,social and other trends at the airport.
It remains to be seen how long Air India will continue to offer the lowest priced tickets on the Mumbai Goa route.
Flesh trade in Goa
The recenting trafficking allegations against a MLA again highlighted the fact that powerful men have a soft corner for young women, and they often let it affect their judgement. These powerful men think that they can get away with it, however only a single case can damage their reputation, and with surveillance, it is simple to monitor a person remotely.
The most colorful news in the case was about the broker Rosy farros which was published in thegoan newspaper, that she is allegedly notorious for making friends, luring young girls with ice cream and other goodies, as young women are in demand. Even women with a job complain of sexual harassment.
The other newspapers in Goa have not bothered to cover this aspect, however it has far reaching implications about a large number of young women who are involved in the flesh trade in goa. Young girls from poor families are particularly vulnerable.
