Hi Guys!!!
This is my tenth and last blog of Goa Diaries. After an amazingly beautiful Evening in Goa, here comes the Nightlife we spend in Goa Beach. After the sunset we went to our rooms and got fresh and headed back to the beach, as it was our last day in Goa and we would be travelling back to our cities on next day morning. So we didn’t want to miss even a second that we could explore Goa more. We got ready and left for Palolem Beach. We did some shopping from the shops beside the beach and put the stuffs in the car and headed towards the beach. We went to a beachside restaurant and sat in open-air in beach. The waiter came and lighted candle on our table. We ordered some starters and that’s when a group of foreigners made their way onto a small stage beside the restaurant with a guitar and piano. All the people of group were old people. They setup their instruments and a projector. They were part of a Rock Band team and started performing some cool Rock Band music live on stage setting the exact atmosphere for the last night at Goa. The performers were old but their talents were still young, they were getting all of us into a different environment of music, I must say all the performers were singing amazing. At the same time while enjoying the performance, a waiter came to us and guided us to an area where they were grilling the fishes live on beach. All we had to do is select a fish from the tray of ice and they would make it right in front of us in minutes and serve us hot, it was yummy and hot. In sometime a fire artist started performing his fire tricks on stage and it was stunning to see someone play with fire like that. We completed our dinner and had a long walk along the beach enjoying the silence of sea and lighting of the beach. We purchased a Sky Lantern, lighted and flown it, it went high in the sky making our Nightlife in Goa complete. It was a beautiful night with some amazing performances and delicious dinner making it a memorable nightlife in Goa. This was the Last blog of Goa Dairies; hope you all enjoyed each one. Do let me know which story you liked the most and why. Thanks for reading my blog. Let's share something valuable that can guide us to better living.

This is my ninth blog of Goa Diaries. After having Delicious and Heavy Seafood lunch, we were enjoying the beach and the climate as it was warm and sunny. Slowly the sun started to make a beautiful sunset while descending into the sea. The sky was clear with few clouds to complete the scene. Everyone in beach, were getting ready with their cameras to capture the colorful sunset. With a cup of Hot Tea in hand and taking small sips of it while watching the sunset. The sea turned into golden color like it was a sea made of gold; the sky had multiple colors like blue, orange, red and yellow. The boats which were out for fishing were returning back. Sun slowly made its way to the sea. Each time the sun changes its position the sky was looking awesome with the colors. You could see the exact round yellowish orange sun, like a bright shiny golden ball in the sky. All were taking pictures of the sunset and posing with the sun as if they were holding it in their hands. Sun was half in the sea making the sky orange colored and sea to golden color with its shine. After the sun has completely went, the sky was pink in color with the clouds in golden color. Each phase of this amazing sunset was beautiful beyond explanation. Another day in an amazing Goa ended with a beautiful Sunset which I would always cherish in my memories. Thanks for reading my blog. Let's share something valuable that can guide us to better living.

This is my eighth blog of Goa Diaries. Everyone who is fond of beaches will definitely love the Seafoods. I also love it. It was a wonderful day with good climate, after enjoying in water; we headed to a beachside restaurant to have our lunch. As in every group there were few people who were vegetarians and we all got divided to Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian groups. I was in Non-Vegetarian group without any doubts on it. We started with some starters of Prawns Masala and King Fish Fry; it was too delicious with perfect cooking making it softer inside and crispy outside. Then we ordered Squid Chilli Dry, I tasted it for first time but must say it’s amazing, you should also try it out. We also tried some variety dishes in Prawns which are popular in Goa and less available in Mumbai. We tasted many dishes on Fish and Chicken and must say the seafood experience was too good; it had a different flavor all together. And don’t miss the Goan Fish Curry; it has an aromatic goan flavor with right proportion of all the spices into it. It tastes best with Rice. We kept on repeat orders of some amazingly tasty dishes unless we were completely stuffed like puppets. I almost ate all different sorts of Fishes, it was too delicious. I am not sure whether I able to explain the feelings completely in this blog, but have done my best to do so. It cannot be explained in words, you need to taste it to know the feeling. Do let me know if you have tasted some different seafood in comments below. Thanks for reading my blog. Let's share something valuable that can guide us to better living.

This is my seventh blog of Goa Diaries. While being on beach, we noticed a small boat too far from the beach almost like in far sea. It has two persons on it and hand paddling it to navigate. As it was too far and appeared small it was difficult to see. After sometime it appeared bit clearer, as they were directing towards the beach. That’s when we noticed it had a Lady and a man on it and it was a Surf Ski. They started coming closer to beach and then we noticed that there was a small little girl sitting between them and it was a family on the Surf Ski. As they got close to the beach the man got down and pulled the Surf Ski and his family out of water. They were relaxing in the beach and that’s when we had a talk with him as his Surf Ski and his family surfing on it was beautiful to see. His name was John and he was from Argentina on a vacation with his family. John and his wife both are participants of a Surf Ski Race and it’s their hobby. Now they are doing their same hobby in their vacation. Everyday, they do Surf Ski and travel to different beaches and enjoy the moment. Their daughter is just 5 years old and even she enjoys it. John explains it as an amazing experience to be away from all the chaos of the beaches away in sea where there is only you and your loving family with sounds of wind and water all around. It explains how important family is to anyone and how important is to spent time with your loving family. We all get busy at office, college, school and doing many more things, but always do spend quality time with your family, it can make you happy and your loved ones too. After all, we do all hard work to see our loved ones happy and to be with them. Enjoy life with your family. Thanks for reading my blog.

This is my sixth blog of Goa Diaries. It was a bright sunny day, we were enjoying in beach doing swimming, playing, relaxing, etc. I noticed a small boy playing with his dad. He was very cute and was fun seeing him play. His sister was swimming in beach and he wanted to do same, but he didn’t know swimming. He started to go to water and his dad stopped him but he wanted to swim anyhow. He stated to say his dad that he wanted to swim but his dad didn’t allow him as the waves are too strong. He started to fight and cry with his dad. He started all sort of tantrums to swim in water. For every kid dads are like superheroes and they can make anything possible for you. Same happened here to make him happy his dad used some trick. His dad brought his surfing board on which he made his child lie and took it to water. He told his kid to swim in water by putting his hands and legs in water but always be on this board itself for his safety. He was holding the board and pushing it through water. Making the kid feel he is actually swimming and that too faster than his sister. The kid was happy and at the same time his dad was sure about his safety. Dad is always a role model who can solve any problem and make the impossible things possible for his kid. It was a pleasurable moment to watch the love the kid had for his dad and the care and love dad has to his kid. This incident made me miss My Dad. It’s a dedication to you Dad.

This is my fifth blog of Goa Diaries. It was a day after our meeting has ended and we were getting ready to go out to beach. As I got ready and was waiting for others in the lobby I saw a foreign family with two small kids leaving from our resort for beach. One of those kids gave me a cute smile while leaving. After a while we got ready and went to beach. Beach was well crowded with many Indians and Foreigners. While on beach, I noticed that boy playing in sand. Those kids were having some chocolates and they stored the chocolate wrapper in black polyethylene bag. I ignored it at first as kids keep playing with anything they get. After sometime I again saw the kid’s father putting some waste in that black polyethylene bag. That’s when I realized they are using that polyethylene bag as a dustbin to collect their waste. Whole day we enjoyed in beach, while on a walk on beach side I noticed an Indian group of boys who were having some food item and throwing its wrapper on the beach itself. They were public dustbins installed on beach but all were putting dustbins outside it. They were some foreigners too who were doing same thing. But that time also this family was collecting their waste in that bag only. In Evening, after seeing the beautiful sunset we came back to our resort. We were chilling in our balcony, and this family entered from the gate. At the resort gate there was a dustbin, in which that family dumbed their black polyethylene bag in it. They collected their whole day waste in a polyethylene bag and dumped it in dustbin itself. Just imagine if each one of us started practicing like this then how much clean the world would become. We should understand our responsibilities and do it efficiently. Guys please keep your surroundings neat and clean no matter where you are, it’s really very important message that family has passed on to us. Thanks for reading my blog.

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.

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.
