Goa’s Cartoonist, Mario Miranda

When it comes to four-star hotels, Goa offers splendid accommodations that will rejuvenate and replenish guests from all walks of life.  There is sumptuous combination of innovation and tradition, featuring all the latest technologies to keep you connected to the world at large, and old-world values of hospitality and courtesy to keep you connected to a spirit of relaxation.   Goa is one of India’s most luxurious jewels, nestled on the west coast with coastlines and spectacular inland views, marking it as one of the region’s hotspots for biodiversity.  Our hotels, then, offer a splendid central point from which to base your stay in this enchanted place.  Our restaurants offer exquisite food served by world-class chefs trained in all the latest culinary techniques.

If urban adventure is on your agenda, there is a lot to see in the city.  One does not have to move very far before coming across the immense creativity that lies here.  Goa has given birth to some of the most interesting forms of music, both in antiquity and in modern times.  It is also the birthplace of one of India’s great political cartoonists, Mario Miranda.  In 2008, Goa saw the release of a major collection of his life’s work, another feather in a cap stock full of feathers.

Mario Miranda already in his 80s, is remarkable for his great reputation, international fame, and humble character.  His childhood in Goa was marked by a constant tendency to draw, and the story goes that his mother noticed his early talent beginning when he would draw on the walls of her house.  She bought him a notebook, and the rest, they say, is cartoon history.  He went to art school in Portugal, lived for a few years in England, and spent a good part of his life in Mumbai.  A trip to the United States in 1974 introduced him to Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, and the two recognized a shared tendency to find the bright side of life through humor.  It certainly kept him working all these years, and his sense of humor has made him a household name all over the country.  He has returned to Goa, where he presently lives with his wife and family.
