Documenting this Journey of #Life – 5 Years at an Organisation, I thought I would Never Join!

Hey Guys!!!

Hope you all are doing fine! I’m back again this Sunday with a purpose to share an insight of my life.

What can happen in 5 Years?

Someone can Graduate, a child learns to be self sustained. Well a lot can happen in 5 Years.  One such instance is here…

5 Years ago,

Yes, it all began 5 years ago in 2015. I graduated from St. Xavier’s Mapusa – Goa headed towards a new journey, not knowing what I will be doing nor understanding how challenging the life circumstances would be. But I knew what ever I will be doing, I would be the best version of myself.

Rewind to 5 Years Back 

It was in April 2015 when we had a lot of companies visiting our college for campus interviews and we were desperately in search of job not because we didn’t have money but because I have been working all my life, either for a non paid internship during my college breaks or freelancing for a magazine. (For which, my first article payment was Rs. 200 ) My first memory of this was special as I was hardly in second year but looking at my hard work, I was offered a full time job which I somehow wasn’t keen on. Nevertheless, we had a lot of companies visiting us for job hiring.

One such company was a New Local Cable Television Channel, who was hiring staff. I had my interview and I thought I did great because I had already worked previously in one of the local television channels as an intern so I was like I will nail this interview. But I was asked one the most basic question during the interview which I rightly answered and spoke just the normal way as I usually would. And I was told we will call you once your exams are done (Our Final Year Practical Exams were pending and were suppose to end by April End) I still remember that day, I came out after the interview and met my HOD who was waiting outside like an anxious parent – who would wait to hear how their child did during exam.  So I told her directly, this person asked me a basic question, And I was like – I will never work in this place.

2 x Fast Forward

Exams were over and we were on a break! Well after that interview, I did attend a couple of interviews in different places too as I was very firm that I will not be working there. And what was amazing was, I got selected in all the other places but somehow I wasn’t so keen on taking up the job, something kept me waiting, like something within me.

Parra Road ‘Swachhta tax’ for tourists on hold

allycaralgoa

The roads of Parra Village is best known for its scenic road lined with coconut trees. The same has often served as a location for various films including the Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt Starrer ‘Dear Zindagi’. Also this North Goa Village is also the ancestral Village of the Former Goa Chief Minister Late Manohar Parrikar.
A few days back a video was circulating on social media about a few amateur shutterbugs displaying the slip of the tax levied on to them for clicking photos in this scenic place by the local panchayat body. The decision to levy the tax ranging from Rs 100 to Rs 500 had triggered a controversy in the state of Goa.
The Sarpanch of Parra village panchayat Delilah Lobo said the decision to impose the “Swachhta tax” on those taking photos and selfies along the scenic coconut palm-lined road, was not made in order to earn revenue, but to deter tourists from creating nuisance on the narrow road, which often led to traffic jams and garbage being strewn around.

“The Tax has been suspended for now. The idea behind the tax was not to earn revenue for the village panchayat, but to deter tourists and photographers from holding up traffic along the narrow road during their shoots and throwing garbage around the place,” Lobo said.

The tax had also irked travel and tourism industry stakeholders in Goa, who had expressed concern that such a tax may be emulated in other coastal villages, which would deter tourists from visiting the areas.

I have a done a video along this stretch, a couple of days back, here is it.
