Namaste! Vanakkam! Hallo! Bonjour! Hola! Salve! Guten Tag! Yasou! God dag! Konnichiwa! Anyoung! Hujambo! Salam! Marhaba! Shalom!
The famous dialogue from Jerry Maguire says, “You had me at hello”.
Soo… Did I? Just in case I didn’t have you at it, I said it in 15 other languages in the hopes that I’ll have you at one of them ?
Now that I’ve given you a cheesy intro and a basic language course, let’s get to the actual intro.
The Intro
Of course, all good things start with a quote (or part of one in this case) so here goes…
“What’s in a name?”
– William Shakespeare
Taking its literal meaning, I’m gonna leave mine aside for the time being, and write under a pseudonym. And maybe I’ll revisit this topic a few months down the line hoping I’ve kept you intrigued and coming back for more till then.
The Where
I’m from the sunshine state of Goa, and I’ll start off by being your guide to this popular little state on the west coast of the vast peninsula called India.
When my travels take me far and wide, I’ll add an article on those too. But my primary focus, for now, is the state loved by one and all, and one that I can proudly call HOME!
The When
Starting this project/blog has been on my mind since a long time but having little to no time (which will be addressed in the updated/new intro post) has been a hindrance.
But fret not, I’m here now to save the day!
The Why
We look up the Internet to search for anything and everything under the sun. Want a location? Open Maps. Feeling hungry? Open Zomato. Want a question answered? Google it. So, hopefully as an extension to this…Want a plan/review? Open my blog.
While perusing through websites and reading many articles, I realized there isn’t much information collated in one place about Goa, where you can find everything that you’re looking for without leaving the website. Essentially, like the yellow pages but a fun, digital copy.
Plus, most websites will cater to one particular target group so if you’re searching for something specific that’s not in there you have to go visit another site and another and another until you find what you were looking for.
The Contents
So, welcome to this passion project of mine that will focus on a different target group each week, and hopefully, by the end of it, will have something for everyone out there.
The blog will be divided into different sections and different articles will be featured in each of them addressing varied topics. If you find something that interests you, don’t forget to let me know by leaving some feedback so that I know which topic interests you and what you would like to read more about.
The Goal
I want this blog to be anyone’s go-to point for when they decide to visit Goa. And, being from here and knowing what’s hot and what’s not is a big plus.
Be it a first-time visitor, a repeat traveller, a wanderer, a foodie, a relaxation craver or an adventure junkie, you’ll find an article for you.
Personally, I’d like to think of this as my journal/diary where I put down my travels, thoughts and musings to look back and recollect on another day.
Thank You! ?
If you have just chanced upon my blog or if you’ve been here a while, thank you for sticking around and reading this. Go and check out the other posts now to see if I have something that interests you this week.
Signing off now.
Hope you have a lovely week ahead and I’ll see you next week.
Byee take care (tc).
