Saturday Night Market, Arpora

I was quite surprised to notice a middle aged woman selling ready made garments at Saturday Night Market in Arpora, Goa who spoke confidently to a customer in Russian.

On asking she told me that she could converse well in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, English, French, Russian and Spanish.

I know only my Mother tongue and English.

How many languages can you speak confidently?

Ferry

“What are the charges of ferry for three of us and a car?” I asked the conductor of ferry from Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary to Panji city.
“I was doing the calculations, yesterday on beach for a short ride on boat a person charged us Rs.100 per person. Today, we were three so it is going to be Rs.300+ and including car is was going to be Rs.1000 or more. I will bargain to slash prices to Rs.700-800.” I thought.
“Rs.7 only.” He replied.

Do you think should I bargain or no scope for bargaining is left?

A fight in the sky!

A kite with its piercing beak hit another kite who was carrying a prey in its claws. The hit was so forceful that it lost its grip on the prey. The prey fell. I was on a boat ride in Mandavi river, watching this scene exactly above me.

What do you think the injured prey will fall in the boat and I will be able to save it or will it fall in the river water to become the prey of big fishes/ crocodiles?

Moody

I was on a boat ride in the river Mandavi to watch water birds. There were lots of stocks, kingfishers, and kites on the trees, flying from here and there, basking in sun or catching their preys.

In the river, the groups of fishes which were jumping above water as the boat moved forward also attracted my attention. The guide told me that they called them moody fish.

I want to touch the moody fish. Will I be able to do so or no?

Bird watching in Goa

“Nobody comes to Goa for bird watching in forests.” A guy commented.
“Everybody comes to Goa for chick watching at beaches.” The gal commented.

So what do you like to watch bird or chick? ;)

Sunset at Anjuna Beach, Goa

On Anjuna Beach, at the sunset time a newly wed couple was enjoying cuddling and kissing each other, standing in waves. A powerful wave came. They couldn’t maintain their balance and fell apart.

Do you think if a wave can part them then will they be able to face the difficult situations ahead in life or no?

Casino

“On the right hand side of river Mandavi is a harbour, the ships you can see are used for fishing, on the left hand side the boats are used for boating purpose and far away in the middle of the river you can see a huge ship, it is a world class famous casino.” The guide told me as we were crossing the bridge on Mandavi river while going from airport to Anjuna Beach.

Do you think should I do gambling for fun or should I not do as gambling is a vice?
