Location : Parking area of Baga Beach, Goa
“You win second prize of 2000 $! You are a lucky lady!! There are so many people who try their luck daily but only a few get this prize. I, myself has seen this prize for the first time. Earlier I have just heard about it. You have to just come with me to my resort which is two minutes distance from here. You have to meet the staff and they will hand over you the prize money.” A young guy told me as on scratching the card given by him showed second prize of 2000 $ out of four other prizes printed on that card.
“Hmmm.” I said.
“I will get Rs. 500 if you will visit our resort.”
Should I go to that resort and collect the prize money or should I forget about that as it can be a fraud?

Goan Food
In lunch, I ordered Goan food veg balchao, pea rice and curd. Before serving the meal, the waiter of Goan resturant placed the bill on the table.
Do you think the waiter was sleeping even at lunch time or one has to pay the bill before Goan food is served?

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?
