#lifelessons – Allycaral

Allys!! Good Morning my lovelies! It’s Friday – the best-est time of the week as I get to feature a place of my choice on my blog. Yes it is the best-est feeling to explore new places and then feature the same on the blog…! and You know what makes it special, your mails, your replies about how much you’ll love my work.

In this edition, I recently visited a place accidentally, it wasn’t a part of a plan as such but yes! I visited this place and I must say it is a really beautiful location. Upon interacting to the people and the guards, I got to learn that this place is open for the general public and it is recently inaugurated. However, not many people are aware about this place. This place is called the #MangroveBoardWalk

Picture clicked by a friend and Edited by be!

You know what fascinated me the most about this place was, the entire footbridge is built without cutting the natural mangroves, which makes it so rich and gives you a feeling of one with the nature. If one takes a closer look at the history, well the relationship that the Mangroves and Goa share is special. Well, now you will have a question why exactly they both share a special relationship. The answer is very simple. Goa is a house to about 16 different kind of mangroves and in our country, Goa is the state that has the best mangroves in the whole of India. So You will now agree about this special relationship. The very concept of having a Board Walk in this place, not only serves as a tourist spot but also it is the very idea that needs to be appreciated that this Board Walk was built without cutting down mangroves- In true sense – a step to preserve the identity of mangroves and appreciate the beauty that it brings to the state of Goa. Thus, this initiative makes this even special.

The place recently inaugurated is not known to many people. But hey! let’s not forget the publicity that no other medium can do, can be heavily done by social media. And when I visit a place, I at least make it a point to tell my one friend about it and ask my that friend to share the news about the same to another and the chain continues. Well, another plus point that I have is this blog – Which instantly connects to so many of you all.

Exploring this place happened all of a sudden as I told you! The story goes like this – we were hunting for a location to shoot a sequence for a feature programme and well, there you go! Here’s the link – PARSEKAR … ONE MAN – MANY DREAMS where I shot my bit for this video.

HOW TO GET HERE?

Just take the road heading towards Central Library, Panjim and Enter the parking side and keep walking till you see towards your left hand side the entrance of this beautiful Mangroves Footbridge.

TIPS OF THE DAY

If you are visiting this place, use a mosquito repellent cream to avoid mosquito bites.
While you click pictures be careful – try to avoid clicking pictures leaning on the bridge handrail.

This is once again another place one could visit if you are in the capital city of Goa – Panjim, Explore the true beauty and most importantly share photos using the hashtag of #MangroveBoardWalk, #TravelwithAllycaral or #BeingAllycaral on any social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or BlogLovin. Do Like, Comment and Share. It’s my favorite – M S Dhoni’s Birthday Week! Tomorrow is his birthday – 7th July! (I know that was out of context) Anyways, have an amazingly fantastic Weekend! Cheers to good times!

Happy Holidays!🏖

Hello my Lovelies! Hope you all are doing well… #BeingAllycaral is back this Tuesday with #BeingAllycaralTuesdayTips. Well, summer is almost here and with this scorching heat, the unseasonable spell of monsoon is the only source of relief for us. Most of us would prefer to stay in doors to avoid this heat, while the others would get to destination like the beach getaways.

Well, keeping all of this in mind here are a few tips how one can have a memorable trip. So dher kis baat ki, (what’s the delay for?) let’s get started!

1. Use Public Transportation – Whenever you plan your holiday to a new place or a public destination always try to use the public transportation or the public mode of commuting in this area. This helps a lot especially to put yourself in to the shoes of the locals in that area.

2. Maintain a Travel Diary – Yes! A Diary that documents every moment of your trip. You don’t have to write down everyday or every moment but hey try to note down important stuff like about the facts about the place you are visiting or for that matter about the restaurants that you visit. Always make sure to try food in a restaurant that is suggested by a local from that place. They can be your best guide.

3. Learn the Language – Everyone should try this one! It is lot more fun than you think, especially when you interact with the person who already is familiar with the language. The amount of happiness you feel that you accomplished something different and Hatke is something which is priceless.

4. Explore the Place on your own – This could be a challenging task but hey! You should give a try to such things, you never know what you might have in store for yourself. I always believe the experiences that you encounter in your day to day life or for that matter the circumstances or situations that you come across, everything happens for a reason. And when such a thing happens you either win gracefully or you learn tactically. So go ahead, give it a try! If you are scared, you should first experiment this in your own neighborhood, try it out in your own city itself and see the difference. Your confidence levels up. Then slowly try a new state and then a whole different country. Another important thing, while exploring do not forget to buy yourself a momento of the place you visited. It could be a simple souvenir that you could keep along. Buying such things not only adds to your showcase but also every time you see this place, it brings back the memories of that particular day!

5. Document the moment – Record every moment on your trip but at the same time enjoy the moment! Once someone told me, “Leave the phone aside, not everything can be captured through the phone. Sometimes it’s best to see through your own eyes!” Well true, in every possible way! But clicking pictures too keep the memories intact. So now what I do is, when I visit a new place, first I admire the place through the naked eye and then click pictures. Because in case memory gets weak then phones help them to remember those moments once again!

Certainly, live every moment, capture memories good and bad because good makes you happy while bad teaches you to appreciate all the good memories. So yes! Life is too short to hold a grudge against eachother. Meet people, friends, acquaintances share ideas, appreciate one another for their good deeds at work, help one another and uplift to glory.

And Hey! You yes you reading my article. Thank you for taking time out and reading it. Means a alot… Have a fantastic week ahead.
