#I love goa

[lumorie]

hello, i hope you're well~

can you share a bit more about your ocs? Garret, Morgan and their gang?

i'd love to know all about them if you want to share! :)

Thank you so much for your interest in my ocs ❤️❤️❤️ AND I TRY TO SHARE SOME STUFF:

Sooo they both are the main characters of a fantasy/mystery/romance story:

Garret is 23, moves towns, loves music and wants to start a band. Morgan is 20, lives in mentioned town, has a liking in black/red clothes and likes to sing for himself. And after someone disappears, they get stuck in an adventure surrounding magic and myths.

Andrew and Greta are the second main protagonists (I don't have prober pictures of them yet) who have their own reasons to find the missing person.

"Chai tea. Not chai, or tea, he says chai tea. Can you believe these Americans? They watch Mindy Kaling and think they know everything, I swear."

Mateus Mardhak glared at the young man sitting/hanging out of his open window. "Pavitr, either come inside or stay outside."

"But it smells so nice over here! I can smell Chaitra Madame's palak panneer from here. We should go see her."

"I have work to do."

Pavitr rolled his eyes. "Bhai, you've been sneaking glances at Krithika every few minutes. Maybe you're not hungry, but you're clearly VERY thirsty."

Mateus sputtered in a futile attempt to deny his statement.

Krithika looked up from her laptop, eyebrows raised in amusement.

She gave him a cheerful wave, which Pavitr returned, and opened his mouth to speak, when Matt shot up from his seat.

"Alright, Pavitr and I are going to get food. You want us to grab anything for you, Krithika?"

"I'm fasting today, but thanks for asking," she said, giving Mateus a warm smile. Gods, he loved her.

Pavitr all but dragged him outside, and Mateus nearly tripped over himself when he heard Krithika whisper "Although I could use a glass of water, Mateus; I am feeling a little thirsty."

I look at him like he is the stars , but he is too busy playing his guitar . I smile at him like he brightens my day ,but he just smiles back and walks away. I repeat his words in my heart, thoughts of him filling my mind. He merely greets my presence,his hair tousled by the wind,under the moon his pale skin shined .

Perhaps it's what was supposed to be . Him being the star shining brightly in the sky and me the wandering sailor looking for his sight . Perhaps it's exactly how it was supposed to be . Touching the star was never possible. But here I am still looking for him , my heart wrenching for him and my mind saying

বড় ইচ্ছে করছে ডাকতে,

তার গন্ধে মেখে থাকতে,

কেন সন্ধ্যে সন্ধ্যে নামলে সে পালায়।

তাকে আটকে রাখার চেষ্টা,

আরো বাড়িয়ে দিচ্ছে তেষ্টা,

আমি দাঁড়িয়ে দেখছি শেষটা জানলায়।

The 'inner child' urge to build a house and live in Panaji is immaculate. To go on walks around the neighborhood, cycling in the evening, stare at the sky while sipping tea, seeing Mamma Mia for the thousandth time, swaying peacefully in the kitchen while soft bollywood songs play in the background and paying my own bills seems kinda nice.

Hey! Indian reader here again, I'm glad you're having a great time here!!

I remember going to Agra on a trip a couple years back. Taj Mehl was amazing to see. And the history behind it is quite interesting. It was supposed to be a gift from the King of Agra to his queen though I don't remember much of the history. One part I do remember (though it's very gruesome yet romantic in a weird way) is that the king ordered that the hands of all the artisans and anyone who worked on the site would be cut off so that they wouldn't be able to create something like the palace again ��

One tip I have is that you make sure you're not overpaying for the stuff you buy here, considering people WILL overcharge you when they realize you're a tourist. And to wear clothing which covers you up in public because short clothes are usually looked down upon here and for your own safety too depending on where you are 💔

Other than that I also recommend buying spices to take back with you if you're into spicy food!! Indian spices are extremely flavorful and vast in variety but quite expensive in other countries

Hey!! I just got back! It was an amazing trip! Your country is so beautiful. The air quality in some cities was tearing my allergies up but other than that and trying to cross the street when there isnt a traffic light in sight, I had such a great time! I never thought I could be a vegetarian but so much good non meat curries and other options there. I liked Indian food before going but loved all the new dishes I tried too! Although I don't think I will ever find a Dal Makhani or Chana Masala as good as I did at The 1944 Hocco Kitchen in Ahmedabad here in the states. I didn't even like the Dal I had on the trip up until that point it was so rich, smooth and buttery (they cooked theirs for 36hrs). Also getting to try traditional Gujarati cuisine was awesome!

The Dhokla was so good with the chutneys they'd give us as snacks. Plus I thought Japan had the best service, India takes it to a new level! I never been to restaurants where waiters are literally sprinting to your table to make sure you dont serve yourself. I only wanted a bit more curry once but I felt so bad this waiter almost tripped rushing over to me I let him put on two more scoops! Also feels like I'm back home and my grandma is making my plates cause if they see a dish nearly done and that you finished yours they will just scoop the rest into your plate. Even the fast food places (omg the paneer burger and aloo tiki burger at mcdonalds and butter chicken chalupa at taco bell were to DIE for) were far superior to what we have here and they have much more sustainable practices. I swear I gained 5lbs from all the food lmfao!! I'm used to eating either one meal or two small ones a day and my program was feeding us 3 full meals so I had to skip some at times LOL it was too much food!!

The traffic is WILD in India but its so cool to see. I don't think I would ever get used to crossing the street without feeling like I was gonna die though lmfaooo. Also omg being able to Uber a Tuk Tuk was awesome! Although there was a few times me and my friends thought we would see the pearly gates lmfaoooo. I heard that about the Taj artisans too! The tour guide we had was so knowledgable (he was a former pharmacist who went back to school to learn medival indian history as he wanted to be a tour guide instead). He told us it was because after his favored wife died (I think he said it was because she was the only one to give him children successfully) he lost his mind a bit and was locked away by one of his sons after building the Taj (Very sad too as all his sons fought and all but one survived to take over the throne). Oh yes, haha our tour consultant who travelled with us the entire time would haggle for us if we wanted something. He would actually give us a range then tell us to walk down the block then he would start haggling lol. Loved him so much, he really looked out for us!

But omg yeah I noticed that people dress pretty modestly which is wild to me considering how hot it is there but they are used to it but I was dying haha. It was 100 degrees and people were in jackets and jean pants lol. Thankfully I brought long cotton and linen dresses and skirts and was able to buy some flowly loose linen pants and brought lots of electrolyte packets. But even in the hotel (we stayed at the 5 star Hyatt Regency in Ahemedabad) that was pretty internationally catered (omg the best pasta outside of italy I swear I was so surprised haha) there were Indian men intensely staring at me and my friend wearing tight leggings to breakfast even though they came down to our ankles and we had a long sleeve shirt on too. I got on the elevator to run back up to my room for something I forgot and these guys on the elevator were so creepy. They didnt say anything but I could feel them glaring down my back. I'm glad we knew better than to wear them outside but I thought it be okay just in the hotel. That didn't sour my experience though I did meet a lot of very nice and respectful Indian men as well. Two of them (who were pretty cute tbh) helped me with my luggage on the elevator as I was leaving since I had to buy an entire new luggage for all the stuff I bought lol. Yes!! While in Delhi we went to the spice market. We took a cycle rickshaw there. We went to a tourist spice shop there though cause they seal it up well for travel and actually have premixed spice packets you can buy which makes it easier (although im sure much more expensive). I bought a ton of spices and teas haha spent like 20k rupees there lmfaooo. Mostly went so ham there cause my mom used to live in India (her 3rd husband was Indian) and she wanted me to bring her back alot of teas and spices. I got her like 4 different kinds of chai. I'm kinda sad we left right before Holi!!!! I always wanted to experience Holi!!! But since its today (or yesterday lol) and today is the first day of classes back our school had to make sure we were back for classes.

Here’s some more pics!

oh wow you once came to india? im indian, I'd love to know where all you visited and how the experience was! (positive or negative lol, ik its a difficult country for many foreigners)

i really enjoyed it but i cant say i really experienced india at all, i was flown into goa by a big tech company, picked up at the airport by the driver and immediately taken to the 5 start beach side taj resort where we spent 5 days before being driven back to the airport. the food was fantastic, the ocean awesome to swim in and it was fun to finally meet some of my friends from the android community i never thought i'd get to meet (most of them from india).

but we definitely got just an all expenses paid luxury vacation/conference much more than anything else, we did plan to go out and explore a bit of goa on one of our two free days but it was way too hot and the resort was quite a way out of the city so that never happened.

i would definitely love to eventually go back to india again though and actually experience a bit more of it than the glossy resort world if i can ever travel again (and can ever afford traveling that far again)
