Hi Guys!!!
This is my fourth blog of Goa Diaries. While having a morning walk on Goa Beach, I noticed many people were doing Yoga and Meditation. But one interesting thing I noticed is that those who all were doing yoga and meditation were not Indians, they all were foreigners from different countries. Many of us views Goa as a place to have fun, enjoy seafood, having drinks and many more. But these people also see Goa as a place to relax and meditate. It is a proud moment for all Indians, Yoga is originated in India and today people from different countries are practicing yoga and gaining benefits of it. But it is also disappointing moment, Yoga being of Indian origin we Indians are following it less. I had a small conversation with two ladies from USA, who were practicing yoga at the beach. I was surprised to know that they are practicing it from years, they were mother and daughter in which mother was practicing yoga from 10 years and daughter from 6 years. They started yoga from a Yoga center in USA conducted by an Indian lady and started their own Yoga center. They were on a family vacation to Goa but still didn’t miss the Yoga in the morning everyday. A great salute to that Indian lady who is promoting India Culture and Yoga in a foreign country and also to these ladies who are practicing it on a daily basis from years. How many of us practice Yoga? And practice it even on your vacation? Yoga was originated in ancient India and been practiced from years, it has its own benefits on the type of yoga you do and how correctly you do it. But we Indians in a race to win in career and to earn money left it aside, which gradually started showing up in our health. Guys realize the importance and benefits of Yoga which our ancestors have developed and start practicing it which will benefit you to be healthy. Thanks for reading my blog.

Hi Guys!!!
This is my third blog of Goa Diaries. In my last blog, I said about morning wishes on the way to beach and it continues further after I reach beach. It was an amazing morning; shining sun in the blue sky with white cotton like clouds floating; a smooth breeze and the waves were banging on the beach. I started to walk on beach, experiencing the freshness and air of Goa. Some people were swimming and boating, fishermen were taking their boats and going for fishing, restaurants and resorts on beach side were getting opened, people were starting up for the day. While on walk I met my colleague who was also walking on beach and we started walking together talking about different topics and taking different pictures with cameras. Then we decided to have a cup of tea, as both of us were South Indians morning tea is a must for us. We sat down at a nearby restaurant and ordered two cups of tea. We were having general talks while having sip of hot tea. After sometime we both got silent and started seeing sea and enjoying tea. Sea was shining with the reflection of morning sun, deep in sea fishing boats were doing fishing, eagles and birds were flying high in sky. Only one sound was coming to my ears that were of the sea, the sound of waves lashing on the shore and a breeze that was relaxing. Being in this environment and exploring it with a cup of tea was amazing experience. We have tea sitting at home or hotels but this was a different experience which I loved. Starting a beautiful day with a beautiful morning, nothing can be best that this. I was enjoying each second of that morning and it was truly amazing. People keep saying of having drinks in Goa and enjoying it. But you can even enjoy Goa with a cup of hot tea and relax on the beaches. The more you keep silent more you listen and notice. Just keep all your problems aside for some time and just keep your mind to silent mode and relax it, this will help you to see things from a different angle. Try it once and you will feel the difference. Thanks for reading my blog. Let's share something valuable that can guide us to better living.

This is my second blog of Goa Diaries This was my second day in Goa and I got out for a walk. Beach was at walking distance from our resort, so I decided to walk. There were many foreigners on the roads doing exercises, walking, jogging, cycling, etc. Sound of waves lashing on to the shore with a Soft breeze in air, making it a blissful morning. On the way to beach, some aged persons were jogging and one of those person passed by me while jogging, but he did something different which made this incident part of this blog. As he was passing by me, he looked at me with a smile and said "Good Morning young man...... How are you?" I replied back "Good Morning Sir.... I am fine... How are you?" He replied "I am good.... Have a Great Day!!!" I replied "Thanks.... You too have a Great Day". And he continued his jogging and I continued my way to beach, but I was experiencing a different feeling of positivity. I didn’t know him or didn't even saw him before, but when someone talks to you with a smile and greets you in the morning; it energizes you and fills you with a positive attitude. Good Morning and have a Great Day may be just a normal wish we make but in the morning when we are starting our day, it helps to start the day in a positive way. Normally I get wished by my families and friends, but it was first time someone unknown, wished me with a smile which makes you fill with a sort of happiness or a feeling I haven't experienced before. So guys do wish each other good wishes in the morning which makes your day, no matter you know him or you don't know him, just wish with a smile, you never know may be you are unknowingly giving someone an inspiration, who is in need for it. Make a morning wish that makes your day and someone else also. Enjoy life and be happy, life needs happiness to move ahead. Thanks for reading my blog.

This is first blog of Goa Diaries. As I said, this is about my recent visit to Goa for a business meet. We all colleagues decided to travel to Goa by roadways, as it would make journey memorable. We all boarded our bus on a chilling night. It was a sleeper bus but none of us slept, we kept on talking, cracking jokes and playing games whole night. Late at night, the bus was stopped for getting fresh, as further there would be no halts because of Ghats. In a chilling night, far away from the city lights and noises in a dark area, where there was only trees around, with an amazing blanket on top, full of bright stars, it was an amazing experience as we can't see these bright stars in cities because of city lights. I kept on seeing the stars for some while. After freshen up, we continued our journey and all started falling asleep, that's when I peeked through the window to see why the bus is taking so much turns and I could only see fog around, with lots of headlights of cars following us, we had entered the Ghats. At around 5:00am, with slightly chilling breeze and a golden orange sky, we were at top of the Ghats. It was an amazing view from top. Many people had issue with Ghats and started vomiting because of the up and downs of roller-coaster roads. In a matter of few hours Ghats ended, but I enjoyed the views from Ghats, chilling breeze, blanket of stars, up & down of roads, etc. In life, we also experience all this moments like the up downs of Ghats, we all have problems in life that’s when we are down and we also have lot of ups which is when we solve problems. Unless we go down we won't try to reach up and once we reach up we can go down anytime. Life can never be straight and stable, no matter how well you try, because life has a very simple rule which very less people understand, but once you understand it you know how life works. The rule that life teaches us is that to learn and get experienced from your downs, which will help and guide you to reach the up and once when you are up, it will tell you how to balance and prepare yourself for next down. Life is a matter of gain lot of learning from your past, using those learning in your present and making yourself prepare for your future. Life has its own ups and downs, enjoy it, learn from it and help yourself grow. These were the thoughts that came in my mind, when I was passing by and exploring the inside out of Ghats. Enjoy life to its fullest. Life is to enjoy… so enjoy it… Thanks for reading my blog. Let's share something valuable that can guide us to better living.

First of all thanks to all of you for your amazing support and response for my last blog post of “Learn Life in Lifeline of Mumbai”. It's your encouragement that has helped me in writing my next blog post. I am sure you all must have visited and enjoyed in Goa, it is an amazing place to relax and enjoy with your loved ones. You all must have noticed and enjoyed many things in Goa, right from sea foods, beaches, parties, sunset and many more; but I am going to tell you all about something which some of you might have noticed but not all. Recently, I got a chance to visit Goa with my office colleagues for an official business meet. As usual whatever time we all got after the meeting, we enjoyed it to maximum. That’s when I noticed few things around which gave me a different angle to think about life and environment. So let’s spread these short messages, which can help or guide others to think in a different angle about life and have a better living. Starting from next Tuesday at 2:00 PM, I will be starting with my first blog of Goa Diaries which will be continued in a series of 10 posts every week.
