The Wagle's Goan Jaunt - excerpt from Mango Mood By Sharmila Kamat, Rupa Books, 2010

The Wagles' Goan Jaunt - a spoof written during the airing of the original Wagle ki Duniya that was shown on Doordarshan from 1988-1990.

This is a fictional account of the Wagles' going to Goa for a vacation. This is when Raju and Manoj, the Wagle sons, were young boys. 

In the new Wagle ki Duniya - Nayi Peedhi, Naye Kissey, Raju, now a householder with two children of his own, wants to go to Goa for a holiday with his parents, wife and children. His plan is stymied when he injures his foot.

Would things be different this time around?

Here is a look at what happened on the last Goan Holiday:
