Ajay - On the Road called Life!

Well, it’s been two weeks since I got back from Goa and I’ve spent the last two weeks documenting the daily visits of Goa.
To sum up, my entire visit of Goa was fun. It was the first time that I went there, but I’ve learned how to get myself around it (hopefully)
Anyway, here’s the listing [...]

As all good things come to an end, our exhausting but extremely enjoyable vacation in Goa finally drew to a close. We had tickets for the afternoon Shatabdi Express back to Mumbai.
But, the return journey didn’t mean we didn’t have an exhausting morning.

It began with Marise and me gardening, more like pruning the the plants [...]

A week in Goa without visiting the beach is something very people would do. Well, we aren’t among those people.
We had plans to go swimming in a nice swimming pool, but when plans didn’t work out, we chose to visit the beach.
The beaches in Goa are usually crowded and on a Sunday afternoon it’s at [...]

We slept quite late (infact early in the morning) after the barbecue on Saturday and it was quite a bit of a problem awaking by 7am to make it for the 8am mass.
However, we did struggle out of our beds and get ready.

Now Thivim Chapel is right on top of the hill, which means [...]

We may have walked all over Thivim the previous day, but that wouldn’t stop us from travelling to Badem to visit Crispin’s Grandmother.
Our last visit to Badem was pretty much a disaster as it involved us hitchhiking all over the place.
Our trip to Mapusa was by the usual bus. We were accompanied by Dora, who [...]

After a rested day at home, Friday was a tiring and leg breaking experience!
Friday is the big Mapusa bazaar, which means lots of things to shop and lots of crowds to shop with… I’m not a crowd person.
Anyway, caught the morning bus to Mapusa and entered the bazaar. Ruth didn’t join us, so Crispin, Marise [...]

After two travelling days in Goa, we didn’t have any plans for the third day and so decided to take the day off and recuperate.
We spent the whole morning and afternoon at home, though Crispin and Ruth did pay a visit to the fields which Marise and me visited later.
You must note that I am [...]

If there is one thing I hate doing, then it is walking. And more than hating walking, I hate walking around in the hot sun, which is pretty much what we did all over Panaji.
I began the day making frankfurters and eggs for breakfast. Could have done with some pepper and a fan as well, [...]

Having arrived in Goa safely, Crispin and I reached the house to find that there was no electricity. We played around for over an hour to get the electricity back, but it was more than we could handle. Was able to arrange for the electrician thanks to U. Diego’s help who came in the afternoon [...]

As I mentioned last week, I took one last holiday before my MBA course begins to visit Goa for a week along with some friends.
Crispin and I had booked tickets via Paulo Sleeper Coach. This is my first trip to Goa and also my first travel via the sleeper. We booked the upper beds in [...]
