    Health & Fitness COVID Vaccine Experience and your preference.

    Monsoon begins in early June (usually) here in Goa. Evenings are still pleasant, that's with a fan on my balcony at full speed. April and May are extremely tough, especially with the extra power cuts; although improved, they still leave a lot to be desired.
