    By Sherida Fernandes          Panaji kala Academy is situated in the heart of the city and has something to offer everyone. The main attraction of course is the academy per se but the added advantage is the fact that it is situated alongside a jetty. One can sit on the benches placed there and sit appreciating the gentle waves or have some snacks at the academy cafeteria. One can also catch some theatre performances playing there . The thing that I found most attractive was the paintings on the walls which seem almost life - like . The balconies, stairs, windows are very realistic. There is ample space for budding artists to play their instruments or generally chit - chat . All in all , a good place to spend sometime appreciating art .

If your sad or angry and wanna spend some time alone then this is the best place where no one can disturb you . Th...
