For the first time since its inception in 2007, the flagship edition of Sunburn festival will not be held in Goa but in Mumbai this December, as confirmed by BookMyShow, the event's new organiser. Well, the only people mourning after hearing this sudden news will be the notorious drug suppliers/peddlers, liquor suppliers, non-Goan owners of a few hotels/bar & restaurants, those running massage parlours/prostitution dens and of course some politicians from the coastal belt areas of Goa. Well, I do feel that festivals like Sunburn should not be held in the interior beach belt villages of Goa, especially Candolim, Anjuna-Vagator etc under no circumstances. That's because most of the interior roads of the above villages are narrow and the locals from these areas are unnecessarily forced to live like prisoners in their own homes due to constant traffic jams during the peak Christmas, New Year season. Anyway, I hope that the organisers of Sunburn will really live up to their word this time and take this festival to Mumbai to finally give a big relief for all our peace-loving Goans.
