Vanakbara Fishing Port I head to the little village of Vanakbara on the western tip of Diu. The fishing village is the biggest and busiest of all the fishing hubs in Diu. It’s early morning. And every colour on a palette seems to be present on the brightly painted vessels and the multi-coloured fluttering flags. Dried large-head hairtail fish shimmer from the ropes on the deck. The day’s catch is being unloaded swiftly from just-returned fishing vessels. Sea food spoils faster than land food so we have to be as quick as possible, say the fishermen. Village women are busy selling the day’s catch at the local market. Meanwhile, gulls and egrets are on the lookout for freebies and get their share quite easily.
