 Mech 71 continues to roar in Goa and a report has been posted by our enthusiastc friend in another blog while I continue in my cave retreat pursuing a quieter spiritual side looking for gifts of joy for all. One of our much loved members Ramakrishnan Ramanathan, known fondly as Ramu by friends has compiled a series of  posts in his travel and picture blog on this event providing a frank blow by blow account.
