Skip the crowds at Alibaug and Ganpatipule. These offbeat coastal escapes offer quiet sands, local culture, and the raw beauty of Konkan
-
Maharashtra's Konkan coast stretches for over 720 kilometres along the Arabian Sea, making it one of India's richest coastal belts. While popular beaches like Alibaug, Kashid, and Ganpatipule often draw the spotlight, the state is dotted with many lesser-known shores that remain relatively untouched by mass tourism. Exploring these quieter stretches not only offers solitude and scenic sunsets but also opens a window into the state's unique coastal heritage.
Here are eight hidden gems to explore.
GUHAGAR BEACH
In Ratnagiri district, Guhagar Beach stretches nearly six kilometres from Guhagar to Asgoli. Golden sands framed by Suru trees and the backdrop of mountains make it ideal for peaceful walks. The Vyadeshwar Temple and Chandika Mandir nearby add cultural significance, while forts like Anjavel or Gopalgad make the visit more memorable.

THIS is a popular poem often shared when anyone talks of the 4B movement in South Korea. The women in this movement boycott the world of men; boycott heterosexual marriage, relationships, sex, and giving birth.

Class and Caste
Caste hierarchies continue to exist in everyday life and across campuses. Due to the persistence of caste in schools and colleges, long believed to be places for upward mobility and rational thought, these institutions end up becoming spaces where questions of \"merit\", cultural capital, language and access-or the lack of thereof-are highlighted and ridiculed. The discrimination persists from Kashmir to Kerala. From delayed degrees and stalled promotions to verbal abuse, professional isolation, and sometimes death, these case studies underscore not isolated instances but a pattern

Writing is Acting by Another Name
My wife spots him first while my attention is focused on the bucket of theatre popcorn (medium, salt and caramel mix). I look up and there he is. Pico Iyer, great travel writer, essayist, novelist, columnist, humanist, and in recent years, friend and correspondent. While the rest gasp when Timothee Chalamet appears in Marty Supreme, we gasp when Pico does.
