Goa: From Accommodations to Beaches

It's SUMMER TIME! And Goa is the ideal place to spend your summer! I have been to Goa in India, and I must say that it was one of the best travel experiences. I am quite familiar with the place, though being there only once. Hence, I can provide you with some first hand tips. I, herewith, state everything from Accommodations to Beaches. Hotel Accommodations : Hotel is the most crucial part in anyone's trip. It can make or break the trip. When I went to Goa, we stayed in a four-star resort named 'Marinha Dourada' , located in Arpora . Personally, I would rate it with five stars because I fell in love with it. To add on to the loveliness, our hotel had a great scenic beauty, it was facing the lovely coconut and palm trees that were grown in the resort. The resort was taken care of like a baby. It was so neat and clean, and you could actually see the bushes perfectly trimmed. Well, our room was fascinating too. It was enough big, consisting of large storage space. It al

Being a Fresher in a New School

When you are in primary school, being a new admission is a 'sense of achievement'. Everyone wants to make you their friend. But honestly, this is just primary school, everything changes as you move into the elementary level. Everyone has grown by then, everyone has a group of friends. But baby, you got to take a deep breath. This is just the beginning. I moved to a new school, due to my dad's transfer. Oh, the farewell I got on my last day of the previous school, hands up, was one of THE best days of my lives. The days after it, when I left the school, all I was left was with the hormones of my teenage days jumping on my head, making me even more frustrated with each passing day, and trust me, when something jumps on your head, it hurts. I was scared, but at the same time, excited for the first day at the new school. Well, this blog also gives an idea about how a typical day at an Indian school is. I had seen my school before, when I went for an admission test, but t

'Hidden Figures' is not Hidden Anymore.

'Hidden Figures'- An absolutely exquisite movie, with an unyielding message. The story, based on three brilliant friends, who chose to find their own paths, in one of the most highly-reputed companies of The USA, 'NASA', setting benchmarks for other African- Americans in the 1960's, when racial discrimination was at its peak. They were the true 'Hidden Figures' behind sending the first American in space. It has been 2-3 months since the movie released, but it has still been helping me to find solutions to my problems. Many lessons can be learnt from the movie. A very sagacious way of inspiring the youth, indeed! And I must say that racial discrimination, even today, should come to an end, so that more people like Michelle Obama stand out. It earned $229,424,082 globally. It stars some of my favorite actors like Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monae in the lead roles. Even Kevin Costner builds a lasting effect. It makes your hear

Heal The World

Save water. Save trees. Save the environment. Save the ozone layer. Prevent global warming. Reuse, Reduce, Recycle etc. For many of us, these are just some slogans for a poster making competition, do we have the acuity to find the causes for these words, what are they?  Yes, In Science, we may have studied that if we don't save water, there will be a really difficult situation for us in future, for we will be struggling for a single drop of it. It's the state of abyss, for millions of people in many countries of South Africa and other places who are dying for water. What about trees? Have we ever had concern to just plant a single tree in a month, or at least a year or can we plant a tree on every birthday of our family members instead of having pizzas and loud parties. Most of us are having a sense of immortal bliss, that we are blessed with everything, and take everything for granted. Just thank God for what you have, even for the oxygen that you are inhaling. What is the s
