TimelineGoa Magazine - Issue 4 2016

In this issue

Luxury has been redefined in Goa. Earlier, except for the five-star hotels offering visitors the only taste of the high life, there was very little else at the same level. There has now been a dramatic shift in the manner in which big bucks are being spent. Timeline Goa takes up the vistas opening up on luxurious living. We go beyond the tall fences and
CCTV cameras to provide readers with a glimpse of those posh villas, the beau monde and the savoir vivre as the idea of luxury continues to redefine itself.

Concomitant with fancy lifestyles is the growing popularity of golfing and yachting. What used to be a privilege of world travellers is now available closer home. Timeline Goa explores these new trends in sporty diversions and of spending a holiday on a hired yacht. Hobbies such as numismatics and philately have always been popular. But meet Sabestian Almeida with his grand obsession for guitars. He has taken his fretwork to a crescendo with his collection of 35 unique guitars ranging from the Fenders to Gibson to a Steingerger. Find inspiration in the life of Agostinho Fernandes, a differently abled music teacher from Quepem who has struck a chord with students from all over South Goa. Adversity has not dampened his passion for music nor his pedagogical skills. And with newer and newer models of cars taking to the roads, you need to take a close look at the assessment of different models by our auto expert. The month has been a busy one with the entertainment circuit abuzz with activity. The India Beach Fashion Week of which we were the proud partners certainly took things a notch up. Keep up with all the latest happenings every month in our pages. We welcome your feedback.
