The beauty of London: Through an Indian's perspective

Image
A teenage boy who emigrated to the UK for work shares his insights about the differences between the countries Intro: This post is guaranteed going to make you think twice. Read it now. The eco-friendly metro buses and clean pavements Ever since I moved to the United Kingdom on the 5th of April 2019, life has been completely different for me. Firstly, the homesickness has got the better of me. I miss my mom and dad, my Royal Enfield and moreover, my freedom to take my ride and wander wherever I want. Now that I've been in London, its been more of a hassle to hustle and earn a living. But that's not what life is all about, or is it? My life has been all about jolly good stuff back in the days. I completed my engineering, so you can relate! It's been hell of a ride, but I made it through. Phew! But on a serious note, I do miss my childhood like every other human. At times, I just sit around and reminisce about the beautiful memories at the beach, parks, etc. p...

Tips to help you chose the best location in Goa Well, I hear a lot of questions from tourists asking which part of Goa should they visit, or locally stay, if they have a tight itinerary. Which part of Goa do you like? Leave it in the comments to share with others. Also, share your best memories of Goa or any suggestion that you would like to give to other visitors. My answers to this question is always a question to them asking what do they seek in Goa? Is it the rave parties? Or the delicious fish thali? Or the tranquility on the beach?

These keypoints have been made, considering you stay more closer to the cities of Panaji and Margao (which most of...

How Feni is made? The best alcoholic drink of Goa

Image
The process of making Feni from Cashew The Summers are an amazing time to get your hands on the traditional signature alcoholic beverage of Goa -  FENI.  Have a glass of Feni on the beach on a windy day and you will feel the world spinning, literally. It is stupefying and lethal. Hence, it is taken with a slice of green chilli and a wedge of lime dunked in the glass. There are other alternatives to it as well.  Urak  is the unfiltered version of Feni and makes up about half the percentage of alcohol content than Feni. They are almost similar in taste, but only a regular drinker can distinguish among the two. To help you better understand the brewery process, let me start it from the very beginning; it's source - cashews or toddy. Talking about cashew Feni, what they apparently do is initially pluck buckets of cashews from their plantation farms. Then, the seeds are separeted from the fruit. After that, the cashew fruits are thrown into a tub to be crushed,...

Top Reasons to book a trip to Goa For those who have never been to Goa but have widely heard about it, you guys very well know how excited they all sound about it, right? From telling you hours of experiences to having a relaxed holiday, people from all corners of the world come to Goa for one exclusive reason: the sunny weather and the economical alcohol rates. These 2 keypoints drive traffic in Goa more than the amount at Cortalim Junction (one of the frequent traffic jams location in Goa). Coming straight to the point: it is highly unlikely that any youth from India, particularly from South India would not have Goa in their bucket list! This is because of the vivid history of Goa. They were ruled by the Portuguese, unlike India which were ruled by the French! The Portuguese customs and traditions were all not forgotten when the Portuguese army retreated back to its country, giving Goa its liberation. The tradition was still alive among the inhabitants and they cherished it ...
