It is very difficult to get aclamatized quickly to the local culture and understnad not just the geograpgy but the history which has shaped India over the ages like any other society. Once someone said why Britishers had to leave India? Rest all who so ever came here were absorbed by this society and culture. but then that's exactly what Brits resited. Your indepth blogs are very very interesting to read; now and again makes me homesick. Never been to Kashid myslef but there are beautiful beaches all along the Maharashtra coast Anjarle, Shreewardhan, Ganpatipule (Ganapatipoolay) to south of Mumbai and Kelwa Mahim, Kihim to the north. Wait till summer and taste the HAPOOS or Alphonso magoes from the souther Konkan, grown on iron bearing dark purple rocks of "Ratna-giri" meaning mountain of Gems. BTW at the southern tip of India Kanyakumari, here you can see confluence of oceans ..blue green and grey. There is an endless list; lots to enjoy and the right season too.
