As i sit by the window at my grans place sipping through my choc drink, i cannot help but notice the change that has crept over the place...over my city...over my GOA... As i peep out i am drawn towards the images of my past where Goa was a much serene and a much quieter place... Where a kid was free to play on the streets coz of the very little traffic, where women could roam freely at night,where no one would look upon a new "HIPPIE" with suspicion...It was like a child who hadn't yet grown up, who wasn't acquainted with the ways of the world, who just innocent....But as they say everyone has to grow up someday and so did Goa.. It just grew up... It grew up to corruption, to drugs and to all the remaining known sins to man...And this made Goa the most happening and the Hottest destination for the tourists...
But what bout its own citizens?? Are they happy?? Well what parent is happy when a child grows up?? but that doesn't mean that the parent stops loving the child...The citizens are pleased with the development but are also irked by the unwanted wrong reasons that make Goa famous.. No doubt that tourism has boosted our economy and has increased our standard of living but it also has taken the free and innocent Goa away from us..
This only leaves me with a lil question:
"IS GOA STILL THE BEST 3 LETTER WORD THAT I KNOW??!!??"

A Look Into D PaSt...
While solving some geometry problems for my 9th grade student, it struk me how fast my life had moved...Its been nearly 4 since i passed my 9th grade but it still feels like yesterday... I still remember those bus fights, my shabby school, those dirty classrooms with lots and lots of ventillation and the only reason i went to that school- my friends......wow cant believe its all over.... even today when i jus browse through the old pics, nostalgia creeps upon me.... i still laugh all alone remembering those old pjs... its not that im not in touch with everyone but its just that its not the same anymore... cant blame it on anyone cuz thats how life is meant to be...
Faith....
The main reason behind dis topic is d message i received in d morning....... And I dunno y but i was very much impressed by its simple yet meaningful words.... It said:
"WEN GOD PUSHES YOU TO THE EDGE OF DIFFICULTY, TRUST HIM FULLY.
BCOZ ONLY 2 THINGS CAN HAPPEN
EITHER HE WILL CATCH YOU WEN U FALLOR HE WILL TEACH YOU TO FLY............"
and these beautiful lines made my day..... Isnt it really true?? I mean from past 1 month nothing is going right for me.... Everything i do seems to trip back on me.... no plans seem to be working for me...and becoz of which i used to be really depressed...untll last week when my friend sensed that i was depressed and told me a very simple thing that is to have faith... Faith in ones own self and god. Because when no one around seems to be with you it is only your faith that works is waht he told me!!! And when he realised that i wasnt totaly convinced he just told me to think of those days when i was really happy.... when i had everything i could possibly ask for... and when i actually had a recap of my life i realised that i was being depressed for no reason... I mean even though the past 1 month wasnt favorable enough, i still had been gifted with a lot.... and now after that incidence my faith started growing again...Even tho y plans dont seem to work, i get up everyday with a positive attitude and look forward to make new plans thinking that one of these days they will surely work for me....
My only advice for people who hav lost faith is just think of yourself as a race horse and god as the racer, the horse dosent realise the reason behind d pain his master inflicts on him till he dosent win....If god gives you pain it is only bcoz he wants you to win....
....PEACE......
