70 Nights in Goa on NewsGeek

A few days ago a piece I write about my time in Palolem has been published on NewsGeek. You're welcome to read and comment there.



Here's a picture of Kashmiri Pulao that I have eaten a few times. It consists of rice with pineapple, papaya and other things making it really yummy. They were as lovely as making it heart shaped for me. Now go read the NewsGeek post (in Hebrew).

Free the Frog Within YOU

With the tendency to visit my room and find themselves in the most unlikely places, cute little frogs have managed to trap themselves in places where they'd starve to death. Here's one frog I released back into the Goan wild, if u can call it that :)



All these recent posts were made at the same time and planned to be published with a few days difference so that you'd actually put a bit of your time to read them. A few minutes of your day to remember those who sacrifice themselves for their startup by leaving their home, family and best friends to concentrate on working towards a new world order, at least for collectors :)

Fried Noodles

A lovely smile makes a world of a difference. This guy has his street stall on Palolem where he sells simple foods for local (read: cheap) prices. Most of the menu is non-vegan unfortunately and I was left only with fried noodles and fried rice. One day, to my dismay, I realized the noodles he's using are egg noodles. There goes the neighborhood... :(



By now we know each other well. I don't know his name and he doesn't know mine. He speaks only a few words of English (prices and names of dishes) and my Hindi isn't better. Often when I don't come for a few days he asks me where I went and why. How to explain that 15 minutes walk is A LONG walk here? How to explain the only option left in his menu for me is fried rice dripping with oil?

Once I played guitar there for half an hour or so. It was when I realized about 20 minutes after leaving the stall that the guitar isn't with me. Hoping that my karma is still proper, I went back and found it leaning on the stall, as I've left it. I was very happy and did a short concert that all my four listeners have greatly enjoyed :)

Goan Sunsets

Hard to believe, you might think, but I'm actually working hard and well on Colnect and have been able to introduce many improvements and fixes. All that with the background of the beaches in Goa.

Here are a few sunset pictures.





If you're actually reading what I write and wish for me to write some more about concerts I've been giving here and how the beach life is, write a comment here.

Cheers
