The small city in the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, 40 km from the west cost of India will topple every unsuspecting soul into deep surprise. Silvassa wakes up a little late than most other Indian cities owing to its geographical position on the western coastline the country.
With not too many places to of tourist interest, Silvassa will still impress the art lover in you, with the traditional constructions lined along the inner roads and with its broad long main roads and market streets that bustle during most hours of the day. You'll find everything you want in your kitchen, except a wife, in the market lane. And at costs you cannot imagine in a metro like Chennai.
The few tourists spots can be known from the internet, but what you must spend considerable time exploring here is the taste of the beers the bars here offer. I cannot help you with suggestions there, since my allergic anti-alcohol syndrome would not permit me any closer to beer, or its like, than a safe sniffing distant from where I can pretend to dislike the scent.
Apart from liquor, one gets finest chaats here. Try the recipes of the street corner vendors, you'll be in for a surprise here too. Disclaimer: Hold not me liable if you, alternatively, land in one of the hospital beds.
The space consciousness of the men here particularly, the barber,is amazing. Four square feet of continuous floor space and, they set up a few chairs and a mirror and begin to service hair-scape of the populace.
The men slog during the day at work and sink in bars in the evenings. There are good many hospitals, schools and colleges to cater to the small population of the city. The women are pleasing and their mannerisms welcoming. Their men look the most eligible pairs. There is a wonderful highway to walk during dusk, for those who wish to abstain from the stench of the bars that have proliferated the mainland as a consequence of rapid industrialization.
One month stay is definitely going to be a wonderful change. Please await personal accounts of the stay, in the forthcoming entries.
