School's out! For kids in Goa, what could be better than the annual summer vacation? It's the best time of the year and brings miles of smiles on their faces.
These are the days when kids hang around with pals, discovering the great outdoors, the carpets of fields and the verdant hills.
Lazy days days beckon as kids can be seen chilling out with friends, sharing jokes and tales, and generally catching up on the good times.
All the world's a playground! Open grounds and fields, in villages and even cities, spring to life as youngsters indulge in sports and games from dawn to well after dusk.
Some kids get adventurous and are try their hand (and feet!) at daredevil stunts without a care in the world.
No summer holiday is complete without the beautiful game in football-crazy Goa!
