My journey to Goa

-
 In this post, I will be blogging on my trip to the smallest state in India, "Goa" two years back. I had visited Goa along with my parents and grandmother.

As the flight took off from the Kamaraj domestic terminal Chennai, I watched with a grip of alarm and wonderment as the plane curved from the sea back to land. After an hour and a half's time of travelling with puffy clouds, we finally reached Goa!

 Woohoo!😃 I was exhilarated as I placed my first step on the "Jewel of the West Coast", which is my nickname for Goa. We were driven to our resort, "Ramada Caravela" by the taxi owned by the resort. On reching the resort I was awestrucken! With a large pool in the centre and coconut trees everywhere, the 5 star resort was a treat to my eyes. The rooms were private suites and were built in a cottage style. As it was christmas time, the resort was lighted up in a breathtaking way.

The resort owns a stretch of the Varca Beach. It was very clean and was jawdropping. I was thrilled as I swam in the marvellous blue waters. As I had never participated in a water sport earlier, I along with my father went on a Jet Skii half a kilometre into the sea. I was electrified as the Jet Skii was going at 60 km/hr

We had decided to tour Goa as we wanted to explore this marvellous state. We began by touring North Goa. As the important cities in Goa lie on the northern side such as Panaji the capital of the state, the area is full of people bustling around. We visited a dolphin show. This required us to step into a ferry boat and proceed onto the sea till we see dolphins. Eventually after half an hour in the sea, we did see dolphins. They were jumping in and out of the water in groups of six. It was an unforgettable experience.Though North Goa has natural wonders such as the Calangute beach to which we payed a visit, it is polluted in many areas and has lot of traffic due to narrow roads as well. I believe the goverment should widen the roads and take care of the cleanliness as the state is a bustling tourist spot.


The next day, we toured South Goa. I loved South Goa due to it's cleanliness and tranquility. We halted at numerous places for sightseeing such as the Big Foot, Portuguese House, Shanta Durga Temple to name a few. As a local, our driver knew a lot about the history of these places and had no hesitation to pass the valuable information onto us.

After an amazing week's stay, we boarded the flight from the Dabolim airport in Panaji back to Chennai.

 I would stongly recommend you to go on a trip to Goa as the silvery sands and picturisque landscapes are irresistable to one and all.😎😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
