Best Tips to Get You Motivated


Hello Allys,

Hope you are doing well this week! I had a wonderful last week – a lot hectic with work but the weekend done right with the San Joao Celebrations! And so I am back in action this week! Interacting with a couple of friends of mine, I got to learn several people including me, sometime or the other lose motivation in life – That driving force that keeps you going. In such circumstances, one needs to get some quick tips that will get you back in action motivated and going.

TIP  01 – GET GOOD REST

On days, when you realise it is not your day or things may not seem like going. Make Sure You get a Good Night Rest. This is one of the best ways to recover, heal and feel energised as this will provide you the right amount of time to get your body, soul and mind active and going.

TIP  02 – PLAN YOURSELF

One of the biggest reasons why we feel less productive or less motivated is the fact that we haven’t planned. So make sure you plan your day, write down a to – do list and make sure you get the same checked from that notepad of yours. This will keep you engage yourself to perform actions that will result into your end product which will motivate you to do better things.

TIP 03 – ORGANISE YOUR LIVING SPACES

This is one of the many things, everyone takes for granted. But if you ask me this is one of the most important thing that sets the mood for your work. Thus, organising things, clothes at home and papers, stationary at your workplace will injest in you a new energy and a fresh mindset which will encourge you to work even more.

TIP 04 – PRETEND THAT THIS IS YOUR GAME

Too often, when we feel less motivated and going we always take the back seat and hope that things may fall in their place gradually. But Instead of doing that, be the change, Dress Up and Show that you can be the boss and no matter what you can turn tides like nobody else can do. This cheat trick a lot of times worked for me, so well this is a tried and test tip. You too can try this one!

This is Your Moment, Pull Yourself Up and Rock it like a rockstar! Have the most productive weekend this week.

Airbnb Launches Experiences In Goa


Travel leaves you speechless and turns you into a storyteller. And what better than knowing about the story from the native’s mouth. Airbnb just got it right, with recently launching it’s one of it’s kind experience in the very state of Goa. This enchances the traveller’s experience as you get to know inside stories about the facts from the locals itself.

Guide Books help you alot, but they don’t answer your questions and so locals are very important!

Discussing on the Launch of this one of a kind experience in Goa, the head of Airbnb Global Public Policy & Communication, Chris Lehane said “Airbnb Experiences make travel magical again by immersing guests in local communities around the world. We want Goans to participate and benefit from local tourism by sharing their interests and passions, enabling them to make additional remuneration.”

Planning to Travel to Know About Goa?

Airbnb is to your rescue – Here are the Key Highlights one should look out for in the Experiences in Goa :

Windsurf with a Champ

1. Windsurf with a Champ: This experience is hosted by Derrick Menezes, a 15 time national windsurfing champion and pioneering water sports aficionado in Goa who has also represented India at the 1998 Asian Games. In this fun windsurfing experience, Derrick teaches the basics of windsurfing at beautiful Hawaii beach in the village of Dona Paula. By the end of the session, guests will gain enough confidence to sail across the wind back and forth.

Panaji City Walking Tour

2. Panaji City Walking Tour: This experience is hosted by Ramachandran, a Goan who is an avid traveler and passionate about sharing historical knowledge of his home town. Focusing on the local stories and trivia of Panaji, the capital of Goa that overlooks the magnificent Mandovi River, the tour begins with the historic buildings and churches of the Latin Quarter where one can witness colonial Portuguese influence first hand.  Guests will visit quaint narrow lanes dotted with colorful heritage buildings with terracotta-tiled roofs, wrought iron balconies and arched oyster-shell windows. The walk ends with a traditional Goan breakfast.

Old Goa Heritage Walk

3. Old Goa Heritage Walk: This experience is hosted by Pooja & Rohan, who belong to one of Goa’s well known families with Portuguese roots. In this heritage walk, guests get to visit 5-6 UNESCO World Heritage sites located in Old Goa.  They will learn about the history of the colonial Portuguese era, the establishment of Catholicism in the state, and tales of Old Goa which was founded in the 15th century as a port on the banks of the Mandovi River.

Wow! Now that sounds interesting, isn’t it? Airbnb Experiences are actively designed and led by inspiring locals. A plus point what makes me inclined towards this, is that they go beyond typical tours or classes by immersing guests in each host’s unique world. So, If you are planning a holiday in Goa or if you are in Goa and would want to know about the adventure, heritage, Airbnb is all set to host you. I’m gonna personally take these tours as they seem very interesting.

Passion to know, to learn and explore the content what you wish to expand your knowledge in.

Here are some 5 Ways to Expand Your Knowledge:

  1. Try Something Different, Something New – The best way to expand knowledge is to try something new and something different. This is one of the best ways to learn something. When you are completely blank about a subject you wish to master, it is by just trying something new that you discover it and Trust me this is a lot fun. Exploring and understanding things on your own.
  2. Reading – One of the best ways to expand knowledge is reading about your subject at least roughly for 15 minutes a day. And this is considered to be the most cheapest way to expand your knowledge. Make them your best friends and trust me they will be loyal to you, for the whole of  your life time.
  3. Subscribe to Educational YouTube Channels – YouTube as it’s tagline says – Broadcast Yourself. This platform is widely used by several people to exhibit their talents, ideas. If you just YouTube the tutorials for cooking for example, you will get thousands of videos demonstrating the ways, techniques in which things work. Thus, Subscribing to your favourite interest area will indeed help you expand your knowledge through these means.
  4. Switching to Podcast – Switching to podcasts about educational, self-improvement can be a lot uplifting and at the same time can help in expanding one’s knowledge.
  5. Speak to an Influential Person in Your Life –  Speaking to a person who have knowledge in a subject you wish to expertise, and well definately it will work wonders for you. As that person will share his/her experiences which will help you to avoid mistakes and errors which that person came across. Thus, discussing with that person expands your knowledge as ifs and buts can be discussed leading to a fruitful discussion.

New Week, New Plan


New Week demands a new plan, in order to make your upcoming week effective, all you have to do is Plan, Plan and only Plan.

Planning as it sounds like a task, it is not at all like that, Plan is something that will help you and bring the best out of you. Here is a quick guide that will help you to plan your week.

  1. Wake Up with a sense of clarity, the first thing that you do once you start your week, is make sure you rise up with a great sense of clarity and idea. In other words, Waking up keeping your focus right, Pen down Top 5 things you wish to accomplish in this week and put deadlines to the same. It could be about your work life, for example like a task you wish to complete this week or for that matter it could also be your personal life too, for example you plan to clean your cupboard or try something new.
  2. Work with Deadlines – There are several people who constantly say that they are busy but many would not be able to define what is that, that keeps them so busy. Some times it is the mind set that does it all. So it is the need to work with deadlines, make sure you put deadlines to the work that you pen down. Try to maintain your own diary, and tick mark the things you accomplished, while if you didn’t complete a task of your own then carry forward the same task to the next day, but make sure you accomplish the same.
  3. Read Self Improvement and Inspirational Quotes, Books – Several times we tend to get bored with life, literally… But in such scenarios don’t give up! Everyone has a bad day and it’s completely okay. You can have days like those but remember no matter how down you are, make sure you pick yourself up all by yourself. Never depend on someone else to lift your spirits. Read something Inspirational, something like affirmations that will lift your spirits.

Never be busy for the heck of it, do something productive so that you will be proud, two three weeks down the line about using your week effectively. Have the most productive week ever.

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.
