Ipharadesi elishisayo lamabhishi egolide anemigqa, izindawo zokudlela ezisogwini lolwandle, uhlaza oluluhlaza kanye nokuzola. Lobu ubuso be-Goa obujabule, obumamathekayo, isithombe esiheha abantu ukuthi basivakashele emhlabeni wonke, kanye naso iziphathimandla ezithanda ukusiveza. Kodwa kukhona obunye ubuso obubili. Kukhona iGoa ehweba kakhulu, edonsa kanzima kanye nengqalasizinda yayo enyakazayo; bese kuba khona iGoa yokuhlukumeza ngokocansi, ukubulala kanye nenkohlakalo, ubuso obusanda kuvezwa emphakathini wamazwe ngamazwe.
Ngivame ukuhlala e-Anjuna noma nini lapho ngivakashela i-Goa. Okungikhangayo imizila engemuva enokuthula nolwandle, lapho izihlahla zikakhukhunathi ezigobayo zimi njengemidondoshiya ogwini lolwandle, ziheleza umoya ohelezayo wasolwandle. Kusihlwa, amafu ewulu kakotini alenga kancane akhukhuleka ngokushaqisayo ngaphezu kwamachashaza okukhanya okuvela ezikebheni zokudoba ezibenyezelayo emkhathizwe futhi konke kubonakala kukuhle emhlabeni.
Lesi isigcawu esijwayelekile sase-Goan esivezwa kumadokhumenti okuvakasha, izincwajana zamaholide kanye nezincwadi zemihlahlandlela. Nakuba ukuvakasha okuningi okuya e-Goa kuhlanganisa izakhamuzi zaseNdiya (izigidi ezingu-2.4 ngonyaka), inani elikhulu lezivakashi livela phesheya (380,000).
Izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe zihlanganisa abavakashi bamaphakheji amadala abeza ngamadili esonto elilodwa noma amabili, kanye nabapakishi, abavame ukuba basha futhi abangahlala izinyanga zilandelana ezindaweni ezifana ne-Anjuna ne-Palolem.
Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, abantu baseRussia baye bahlangana nabaseBrithani, abaseYurophu, abase-Australia nabaseNyakatho Melika. Kunjalo, kukhona futhi umphakathi omkhulu wama-backpacker wakwa-Israel, kulezi zinsuku ojwayele ukuhlangana e-Arambol enyakatho yeGoa. Kukhona i-ex-pat element kanye nalabo abahlala e-Goa noma okungenani bachithe isikhathi esihle lapho.
I-Calangute iyisikhungo sohwebo lwezokuvakasha lwephakheji yamazwe ngamazwe e-Goa. Uma kubhekwa isikhundla sayo, kufanele kube igugu kumqhele wezokuvakasha kweGoan. Ama-boulevards angenabala, anemigqa yezihlahla anomgwaqo ovulekile? Lutho neze. Njengoba ilokhu isakazeka futhi ixakile, i-Calangute manje ihlangana ne-Baga futhi iya ngokuya ithuthukiswa futhi ibonakala intula noma yiliphi isu lokuhlela elihambisanayo. Uma kukhona noma yiliphi isu ngakho-ke alibonakali linomthelela omkhulu, okungenani mayelana nobuhle.
Indawo ezohwebo ezimbozwe ukuhweba okwengeziwe, isitolo ngasinye sezinto zokuhlobisa nobucwebe, indawo yokudlela ngayinye kanye nenxanxathela yezitolo noma yehhotela kuhlale kungishiya ngihalela ukweqa. Konke lokhu kuthuthuka kunomthelela omkhulu kwezemvelo, vele, hhayi nje ekuswelekeni kwamanzi, okuyinto abantu bendawo abathwele kanzima ngayo.
Ama-hippie afika ogwini lwaseCalangute ekuqaleni kwawo-70s, okwadumaza futhi kwacasula ukuziphatha kwabanye abantu bendawo. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakuncane okwakukhona ngaphandle kwemindeni yabadobi namadolobhana. Ngempela kwakuyipharadesi lolwandle oluhle kakhulu.
Kwathi ngeminyaka yawo-80s, kwafika izindiza ezishibhile ezivela e-UK ukuzoheha isivakashi sephakheji saseBrithani esasifuna ilanga, amabhishi kanye nezindleko eziphansi. Amanani entengo ezinhlobonhlobo zezivakashi ezikhuphuka kakhulu 'ze-costa del hell holes' e-Spain akhuphuka futhi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule i-Goa isiphenduke iSpain entsha kuma-Brits amaningi.
Abaningi baseBrits manje bahamba ingxenye yomhlaba ukuze bafike e-Calangute, lapho belindele (futhi bathole) izinhlanzi nama-chips, amabha esiNgisi, futhi manje indawo yokucima ukoma yase-Ireland evunguzeliswe ngokuphelele, enephansi elivanishiwe namaphampu esandla ethusi, abengathuthwa esuka. noma iyiphi inombolo yemigwaqo ephakeme yase-UK. Akukona ukulingisa — kuyindaba yangempela.
Ngeshwa, okufanayo akunakushiwo ngeCalangute uqobo njengoba kungekho Goan okuningi ngakho. I-Calangute iyi-ghetto yabavakashi eminyene kakhulu.
Kunjalo, kukhona impela okuningi kuGoa kuneCalangute. I-Candolim emakethe iyindawo elula yokuxoxisana futhi i-Goa inamabhishi athile, iziza zomlando ezinhle e-Goa yakudala nezindawo ezinhle, kusukela emasimini aluhlaza okotshani kanye namasimu kakhukhunathi kuya emahlathini emvula aholela e-Castle Rock e-Western Ghats.
Ama-backpackers abaluleke kakhulu ukuthi angaya kuphi e-Goa ukuze abaleke kukho konke. I-Benaulim, i-Anjuna, i-Arambol ne-Palolem ibilokhu iheha abahambi abazimele iminyaka. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokwanda kokuchayeka okunikezwa lezi zindawo yizincwadi zomhlahlandlela, nazo sezidayiswe kakhulu. Abaningi manje sebeyishiya i-Goa bayohlala ezindaweni ezinokuthula ngale, njenge-Gokarna e-Karnataka.
Ezinye izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe eziza e-Goa zingase zidumale ngenxa yezentengiselwano, ukuhlela okubi, ukunqanyulwa kukagesi, imigwaqo engemihle kanye nokuntuleka okujwayelekile kwengqalasizinda yezokuvakasha esezingeni lomhlaba, kanye nokukhathazeka kwakamuva ngokuphepha komuntu siqu kuzokwenza okuncane kakhulu esifanekisweni se-Goa.
U-Fiona McKeown, unina ka-Scarlett Keeling, kanye nommeli wakhe, u-Vikram Varma, bebelokhu bedonsela ukunaka ekubulaweni kwabantu abaningi kanye nokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi, okusolwa ukuthi kufihliwe futhi kushanelwe ngaphansi kukakhaphethi 'njengokufa ngengozi' noma ukuminza. Kanye ne-paedophilia, osekuyisikhathi eside iyinkinga esifundazweni, lesi isici esinembewu ye-Goa, abangaphandle abasemaceleni ngeke bafunde mayelana nezincwajana ezicwebezelayo noma ezincwadini zokuqondisa.
I-underbelly ye-Goa ingcolile, ikhohlakele futhi icatshangwe kahle kakhulu: kusukela kumadili omhlaba e-Himachal Pradesh ukuze uthole ama-chara akhulayo, uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka nge-Mumbai nangale; kusukela ekuxhumekeni kwe-mafia yamazwe ngamazwe, kuya ekulawuleni amaqembu e-rave; nokuthi ubani ukhokha kubani, kubani uthengisa ziphi izinto ezingekho emthethweni futhi kuphi.
Isivakashi esivamile esiya eGoa asinandaba kakhulu nalokhu okuningi. Amalungu omphakathi opakisha ayazi ukuthi izidakamizwa zingathengwa kalula (iningi lokuthengiswa kwezidakamizwa kuhloswe bona kanye nemicimbi abaya kuyo) futhi bayazi ukuthi bakhathele amaphoyisa, ngokwesibonelo, kodwa abaningi bamazwe angaphandle bayafika. Goa ukuze ube nesikhathi esimnandi futhi uhambe nezinkumbulo ezimnandi.
Ubani ongasho ukuthi icala lika-Keeling lizoba namuphi umphumela esithombeni sika-Goa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Esikhathini esifushane, qabula isithombe sekhadi leposi laseGoa njengoba, kwabezindaba zamazwe ngamazwe okungenani, indawo okwamanje ifana nokubulala nokubulala. Ngabe lokhu kuzothinta ezokuvakasha zakwamanye amazwe? Isikhathi kuphela esizosho. Ingabe i-Goa izimisele ukuhlanza isenzo sayo? Kwazi bani. Ukugunyazwa kuphela okunganikeza impendulo kulokho.
