Educational Trip

Location 1:KOCL Research Farm, Nuvem Goa  On 24th March, 2023 our EVS professors took our class to a field trip to observe and study the ecosystem of the sites. We were supposed to visit a polluted site and an Agroecosystem. My classmates and I were accompanied by two professors on our field trip.  Our first location was KOCL farm in Nuvem. This farm was an Agroecosystem with various flowering and medicinal plants along with various farm animals.  We saw the plants that we see on a daily basis but were ignorant to their uses and benefits. We definitely gained a lot of knowledge on how to treat a soar throat or a cold. Location 2: Sonsodo, Margao Goa. The second location was Sonsodo in Margao where a lot of unsegregated garbage was dumped years ago. This collected garbage is the fruit of negligence. It stinks to high heaven and that is why garbage segregation should be strictly practiced. Location 3: Raia, Salcete, Goa. The last and final destination of the day was Raia, Goa. Away from

  Location: Shop no. 003, Lotus Terraces, Aquem, Gogol, Margao, Goa 403602  US Pizza & Fried Chicken The best kind of date is a friends date. My girlfriends and I decided to to go out so as to take break from the exam stress. Having foodie friends really helps because I get to try out new restaurants and cafes. We decided to try out a new restaurant that was recently opened in Margao. The restaurant is quite at a distance from the Margao market but the travelling was worth it as it is rated 5 stars on google. Interior of the restauraunt The ambience is very welcoming and charming. There is good lighting, air conditioning and hospitable hosts. The chef was a very polite fellow and personally served us our order. He was kind enough to make  conversation and asked us if we enjoyed the food. There is plenty of room for bigger groups. Virgin Mojito, lemon Ice Tea & Strawberry Shake   Burgers and Fries The food was top notch and I enjoyed every single bite of the juicy burger and fri

Edward's Fish House

Location: Edward's Fish House, next to Mohan motors, Chicalim Vasco. Craving fried fish dishes must come naturally with being a Goan. For us goans, fish is like oxygen, impossible to live without. We can do without meat but we need at least a piece of fish with every meal. Goans love their 'xitt kodi nustea' (fish curry rice) and it's pretty much a staple in every Goan household. I personally love The Goan Fishthali. It is my go-to dish at every family restaurant. It is basically a rice meal with many veg and non veg side dishes paired with fried fish. Watermelon Mojito & Cucumber Mojito   Few months back a new nonveg resturant was newly opened in Vasco. I would always watch the people dine in on my way back from college. The resturant gained fame in just one month on social media. It's fishthali recieved a lot of praise and that certainly caught my attention. I decided to visit the place with my dear friend and to say I was not disappointed at all. The restaura

 The richest cat in the entire world had like 7 million but all this guy does is eat, sleep and get on my nerves. But I love him even though I have new scratches everyday. At times I can't help but envy this brat. When he gets in trouble for knocking objects, his in for a yell but one peep in his amber eyes and your anger melts.  History says that ancient Egyptians would shave off their eyebrows when their cats died. You will be surprised to know the lengths one can go for their pets.   Gentlecat From bites to cat hair to zoomies at 3 am and pouncing on me out of nowhere. If you hit him to discipline him then he will hit you twice. Sometimes I can feel his judgemental eyes on me and that makes me question "What is going on in his tiny cat head?". As soon as it's 5.30 or 6 in the morning, he will wake the entire house. Not because we overslept but because his hungry. As I write this blog, I can hear him crying for my attention. This little furball holds a major place i
