Washing face with mineral water

The kid vomited in the vehicle. The semi liquid splashed on the windowpane, handles, under the seat on foot mats. It was everywhere. Sigh! I took him out of the vehicle as we parked a car in a side lane of a highway. Earlier the kid told me that he was about to vomit but on a highway the car was in full speed that too on right side and it took time to stop it on the left side. The kid couldn’t wait and vomit.

As in the car there was only mineral water for drinking which in case of need I gave to the kid for cleaning his mouth and face. He washed and wiped it with tissue papers.
As he throw the last tissue paper he said, “Washing face with mineral water was an awesome experience!”

Should I scold the child for vomiting it the car and not telling me before hand or should I smile on his cheerful innocence?

Sunday Night Dance Party, Goa

Dim lights, beats and dance moves!
A middle aged man on wheel chair was moving his hands with the beats.

Fast blinking dim lights, fast beats and fast dance moves!
The man on wheel chair was moving his hands faster with fast beats. He lost his balance with his chair which fell on one side. People rushed towards him, brought his chair to normal position and made him comfortable on it.

Do you think he is upset as he falls or he is dancing again with the same enthusiasm?

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? ;)
