The Old House

By Gasper DSouza ⋅ August 29, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

A large number of old Goan homes today stand abandoned, in varying stages of neglect and decay. Many of these, have already succumbed to the ravages of time or the bulldozer’s claws, only to metamorph into modern monstrosities that go by names like “exclusive villas” and gated societies.

Given a chance, what would the house have to say of its illustrous past and the people who lived within its bosom and then abandoned it?

  2. Hi
    I loved this - i really love the non touristy bits of goa - and loe the ld architecture - thre is alot of stuff fast disappearing but the unfortunate bit is that if i wanted to buy even the smallest tiniest old goan house - the prices are wayhigher than a modern apartment. I would liek to buy one just to keep it alive but there arent any that arent being gobbled up by real estate monsters for way above their value for the land.
