  Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha। Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvada॥ Goa is known for its Nature, beauty , beaches and people ,  another reason where in most of the tourists don't know is for celebrating its festivals. It may be Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Christmas or any jatra or feast for that matter we see to it that we enjoy each and every moment and also celebrate it religiously.  Tomorrow is Ganesh Chaturthi so you will find entire Goa busy in making preparations for the big day . I know its the covid time, some people might say what is the need to celebrate when time is so much crucial but Ganesh Chaturhti is not just a festival its a feeling of each and every Goan individual who belong to Hindu family and I think no one can stop us in celebrating in our own house with family members. Lord Ganesha here is not considered just as the god but as if its a family member, or a close friend who was staying away from us for entire year and who visits our house

Have you ever heard that Mitro..... Mere pyare Bharat desi vasiyo on TV and after that did you get a  mild heart ache, oh yes I too had that, not a mild but a major heart ache after Modiji announced lock down. Being a Goan and that too IT Person I know the difficulties of working here in goa, which was the main reason for me to switch from Goa to Bangalore, given the amount of opportunities its obvious that anyone will get attracted to the pay check and quality of work in Bangalore but yes being a Goan it will also make you visit every month Goa, similar thing happened with me, I am still not quite adjusted to the city so I often travel back to Goa once a month (I am a home sick person) and when Modiji announced lock down I was having a big night mares of never ever seeing Goa and my people again. After the announcement of 3rd lock down I could not hold back any more.  On 1st of May  one of my Goan friend told me that we can apply on Goa government website to come back. This was

Ohh yup that lock down started and my head started spinning at the same time. Not because I would miss out on the things but because of so many things which I had not even imagined without peoples interaction I missed office badly. Are yaar I do not have office set up at home where in I can sit nicely on a chair which has back support and a table which is perfect for the laptop to keep on and code. I shifted recently to the new place and I was about to buy everything(read it as me being super kanjoos to spend on silly things). So my back was getting badly screwed with all this wrong postures and all day staring into that stupid screen. I missed my office also because I had joined newly and I still felt I need to work in association in order to get used to the product which I am working on.  I missed office badly because electricity and WiFi was working without any hindrance. where as now I had dance calling BESCOM and then WiFi guy. I loved office because I was having fun wor

So since last Monday this lock down happened in Bangalore. Today when I am writing this blog its 23rd March 2020 (Ohh that reminds me its Bhagat Singhs death anniversary . May his soul rest in peace). So whats cooking in my brain today? Lot and lot and lot of emotions. I could not sleep entire night and hence words right on the blog. In Goa we celebrate Gudi Padwa its the new year for all the hindu Goans. Its a big ceremony and in my house at least very important. Because this is the time we celebrate shigmo for our dambab( pronounced as dam-ba-b . Root of this god is located in our house). For me this festival always had a special place in my heart. I am bit superstitious so I believe that whatever I do on this particular day I  will follow entire year. So mostly I invest on this day, I code, I run do Yoga spend time with family basically all the things which I like and which keep me happy. I never missed this festival even though I was away from home. Every year I made sure I was

I don't know whats is cooking in my brain today... Just some thoughts which are popping up randomly and not allowing me to sleep Before moving to Bangalore I was surrounded by mostly by Goans. For us anyone and everyone outside Goa is Bhikna(Only Goans will understand this term so don not try to google). Goans normally don't like migrants because we always feel our land will be grabbed again, same like how Portuguese took it from us 450 years back. When I was a kid I personally hated all the migrants, I used to fight with all my classmates whoever where migrants. My kiddish brain never understood the real meaning of Indian Pledge. India is my country all Indians are my brothers and sisters was just for the name sack , just for the sack of saying . When I was in Higher Secondary I understood the real worth of me as Indian . I realized how united we are and how obvious it is to go to any other state without any choice and work there. Every Indian loves its own land abundantl
