Re: In To-day's Newspapers
The bottles, absolutely agree with you, but don't see this happening on South Goa or Karwar beaches.
The saris: to many Indian women exposing their bare limbs in public is something that they just would not do, things are changing with more freedom in films, but particularly older women would just not wear a swimming costume. (I still would not dare to wear swimming things in front of relatives, only wear beach things when we are alone). Conversly no problem with bare midriff below sari blouse!
For many though just cannot resist the lure of going into the sea.
Brown underwear: can you explain this? as I have never seen this, all rels. seem to wear white (I've seen them on the washing lines) (and they stretch because people who do the washing wring them with iron grip!! OH insists on doing his own, no washing machine in our holiday home).
Basically Noni different human beings have different habits (and that includes us)

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
What amazes me is that these Indian women do not seem to realise that often the water is making their saris more or less transparent which I think looks even worse than a swimsuit. The brown underpants are awful, I am suprised you have not seen them, but we get male Indian visitors to our resort going in the pool in underwear, underpants and vests whatever the colour and we even get some going in fully dressed in the clothes they have been wearing all day. I suppose it cleans their clothes but it does not do much for the state of the swimming pool.
Just asked OH if he has ever seen brown underpants answer is 'no', must be a 'going to N. Goa' thing !!!

Thnk you must come up to the north! Calangute beach is full of indians, the indian ladies are totally stupid going into the sea, as the currents from Calangute to the Taj are horrendous, you can be knocked down standing on the edge of the water. If they want to swim in their sari's they should go to one of the "flat water" beaches.
It is not fair on the lifeguards risking their lives for these ladies, and the drunken men.
Brown undies, again in the North Indian men walk along the beach in awful undies, ( colour makes them look as if they suffered from Delhi Belli.

Hi Bipat,

Agree about the dangers, but 'stupid' is a harsh word, some women may never have seen the sea and have no idea about the dangers and unfortunately many will not know how to swim.
I have heard it said (not by me of course) that Europeans can be totally stupid sunbathing all day in bikinis and risking malignant melanomas
I really have never seen any men in brown underpants. They must buy them especially to upset N.Goan expats.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
"stupid" yes! - Surely those with the teenest bit of intelligence standing at the waters edge can feel the pull of the current, that with a wet sari is a recipe for disaster. 99.9% of rescues by the lifeguards are indians.
I don't know what is worse indians in brown wet pants and vests, or old white wrinklies in thongs

I suppose it is just a word, I would use 'ignorance'. For us living in an 'Island' and most of us used to the sea, it is difficult to imagine the (stupidity) if you like, and excitement of visiting the ocean for those living inland in a huge continent. At least I presume the (I)ndian lifeguards must be skilled. About the North/South divide I wouldn't have much faith in those I have seen in South, they seem to spend all their time driving up and down at dangerous speeds in their vehicles!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
It may be ignorance that takes these people into water that has such strong currents but when they have been told to come out by life guards and they ignore their instructions and are rude to them perhaps the (s) word does apply as it applys to anyone who lies out in the sun all day without proper protection.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Our areas are far South, Varca beach our most Nothern point of beach visits so haven't seen the Bogmalo brownies. Maybe I just don't stare at men's underpants. Although giving it thought have seen quite a few blue and at a recent wedding the groom's dhoti (see through as usual) showed that he was wearing boxers with teddy bear design, caused some mirth among the women (and relieved the boredom). My education (and OHs) with the brown is obviously lacking.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
Must say wish I was there, it has been such a cold, windy, wet, miserable Bank Holiday Sunday
went as far as the cliff tops and came back home. Bought some local strawberries which were fantastic and full of flavour.
