The Lion Monument
Hello Allys,
Hope You all are doing fine this Friday. This week special feature is from the Snowland – Switzerland. Yes, Switzerland is one of my favourites for in Goa we don’t get snow! Like any person from Uttarakhand who visits Goa, goes gaga about the beach. I go gaga about the snow. However Today I am not discussing about the sno, but about a famous landmark – The Lion Monument. This monument is the pride of Lucern city. Widely also known as the The Lion of Lucern.
This Ancient Monument has a story to tell, just like how every monument has one. But the story of this one will definately touch your soul. This monument was built to salute the hardwork that the Swiss put during the French Revolution. This place has turned to be one of the most visited landmarks, turning out to be a major tourist destination in Switzerland’s Lucern city.
The idea of having this monument engraved on the cliff dates back during the early 18th Century. Where the Danish Sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen designed this monument along with Lukas Ahorn to carve the cliff into the design of the picture we see today. If one takes a closer look at the monument one can see some text written on the top of the cliff in latin which says Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti which means To the Loyalty and Bravery of the Swiss.
This beautiful monument we see is of a Lion carved on the cliff depicting the plight of a dying Lion. The dying state of the Lion with a shield near him and spear peaking from his body, while he is seen covering the fleur-d-lis which means stylized lily (Symbolizing the French Monarchy) This depicts how the Lion symbolizing the Swiss fought bravely till the end to safeguard the honor of the French, eventually loosing their lives.

Are You Up for the 21 Day Challenge?
Trying out something new is always challenging! But Trying out a 21 days of challenge could be so interesting and fun! Well, now that is something I never knew!
The Journey of trying out 21 days of Self Care Challenge was easy but at the same time it made me realise about several things! Starting from the most important of all is life’s true happiness lies in the simplest pleasures!
Recently, after interacting with several people, I learnt that most of them complained of not having enough time to take on these type of challenges or do something that they like. Most of us lack time management and that’s how we say that “I don’t get time only to do the things I like.” Well, if you don’t take time off for yourself now, then later on creeping about the fact that you didn’t do anything in your life worth exploring more about true self, would be completely unacceptable.
So pick yourself up and plan to take this 21 days of self care challenge, maybe this could be your first step towards making time for yourself. Small actions and deeds like these results in a greater change. Here’s wishing you, all the very best! Hope these challenges help you explore more about your life and your self!
On high spirits, Here are the 21 days of self care challenge. Make Sure you make the most out of it!
And Following which do share your feedback on the comments below! Challenge your Friends, Family and Relatives too to take the 21 Days Challenge. Have a plesant evening!
Shot of the Week – Perspective Matters
Rainbow Picturesquare
Hello My Allys,
It is Friday! Weekend is here which means that holiday is just around the corner. How was your week? Did this week treat you well? Or It was a kind of week where you were pushing yourself to somehow reach Sunday? Well, if it does, let me tell you it is absolutely okay! Sometimes, there are days when you feel like that (And hey! it’s okay to have one, even I too have bad days!) Remind yourself that this is just a phrase, better days are coming! On such days, you know what I do? If I am at home, I take the bike and go riding aimlessly exploring new roads while when I am at work, I head towards my office terrace or for that matter I quickly walk around my office to explore a new place near by or simply just explore a coffee shop in my area. And Trust me, it makes me feel tons and tons of times better.
On one such day, I explored this Rainbow Square, a lil near my work place. It isn’t named as the Rainbow Square but I found it to be like one! So I call it that. Initially, I thought it was just another wall painted but as I explored this place I realized that it is somewhat like a square which starts from the Altinho Road and goes down towards the Boca De Vaca Spring Tunnel. (The story of this spring is coming up soon in my next post)
Just take the road heading towards Altinho, right ahead of the Consulate General of Portugal in Goa,
