DIU.... a laid back little island.
Dilip Puri – a senior executive with a leading hotel chain likes to holiday on this tiny island with his wife and children and his favourite activity is to drive around on a scooter with his family and go from one beach to the other. “Diu is like what Goa must have been in the sixties.” says Dilip, a seasoned hotelier who has seen many resorts around the world. And what exactly does he like about Diu? “The best place to hang around loose when you want to forget about all your worries”, comes the prompt reply. Diu, pleasant and charming could contest for the most laid back place on earth. Diu was a Portuguese Colony since 1539. Even after the departure of the British 1947, it continued to be under Portugese contol until it joined the union of India in 1961. The place still retains a distinct flavour of the bygone era after having been run on remote control from far away Goa and Lisbon for almost four centuries. |
