#AllycaralFeature 👒

Panjim’s Mangrove Board Walk


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

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.

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.

#AllycaralTuesdaytips 👒, Self Care

How to Invest more on Yourself?


Hello My Beautiful Allys,

After receiving amazing response for the previous #BeingAllycaralSaturdaypoll 👒 here I am with my first post on Self Care post. Interesting and exciting as it could be, here I am experimenting with my first Self Care #BeingAllycaralTuesdaytips 👒

And this week, the best topic to start with is “How best One can Invest more in Self”. People often have this misconceptions that investing on yourself means spending a lot of money. The fact is, this may not be the case. It is basically a feeling one needs from self in order to feel fulfilled. This may sound a lot deeper, and you might find yourself lost or confused. Hey! hang on, I just got started. The Golden Rules to Invest Gracefully on Yourself include:

  • Be Happy – As simple as it may sound, in today’s world of uncertainty we all go through questioning relationships, jobs wondering are we really happy doing what we are at the moment? We definitely may have a smile on our face but truly are we satisfied what we are doing? And the best person to figure this out is none other than ourselves. Remember in order to be happy, you need to feel it from within. Often, people get affected by the surrounding, situations that bring you down. But the best way to deal with all these things are to learn to put your happiness first, and always remember never to depend on someone else for your happiness. Because no matter what, whether with or without life still moves on. If you catch the train, you win, if you don’t well don’t worry stay there another one is definitely on it’s way. Remember, the only person who have the power to make yourself happy is your self. If you have to truly enjoy yourself. Some days, do what you always wanted to do, take a day off or maybe a week, go watch a movie, play a video game that you like, treat yourself at the spa, enjoy a late laid back afternoon at a beach side, spend some time with old friends reminiscing some good old memories. Because hey! you are still very young, you don’t have to figure out what your entire life would look like.
  • Assess Your Goals and Targets of Life –  This is something which everyone needs to do in order to make sure in this journey of life you are making the most out of the opportunities that you are given. Assessing and evaluating your career graph in simple words mean comparing yourself for a period. Like for example, if there is a difference between You about a Year back and Today in terms of the things that you have  learnt, the growth in terms of the way you handle situations and most importantly how rationally you can deal with the balance of professional and personal life. Some days definitely there will be a times, when you don’t have to figure out what you will be doing in the next 5 years. On those days all you have to do is just go with the flow and most importantly get through the day. But make you sure to bounce back and work hard to achieve what you planned for yourself in the coming years. (Always write Your Goals down, Look at it every morning, Trust me this works! Try Yourself to see results.)
  • Work towards achieving Healthy Physical and Mental Self – Now Working towards achieving a whole healthy self is one of the things we often hear! Now, in order to achieve a Healthy Self – First we need to get out of the bed and exercise. The best way to get our physical self fit is exercising, now this could be at home or at gym. I usually prefer exercising at home because you get your own space and at the same time you alone can push your self harder than anyone else can. So Exercising Definitely helps a lot as most of us are working tirelessly sitting in front of a PC or a Mac Book or a laptop exhausting mentally ourselves from morning to evening, which means less body activity. So Exercising pumps the blood and this is one of the aspect of Being Healthy, Now the second aspect includes How to keep your Mental Self Healthy. One of the best ways to do so is Meditation. Yes! an age old traditional method, which instantly rejuvenates yourself. Usually advisable for 45  minutes every single day, this will bring much needed stability for your mind. And another important therapy is music! Keep a separate music time for yourself. Listen to tracks that uplift your soul. Listen Happy Tracks. The best time to exercise or meditate is early mornings before breakfast or post office after going home. And as World Health Day is Coming Up on 7th April 2018. Indeed a perfect month to kick start your workout routine.
  • Develop Your Skills – This is the best way to learn something new, be it a new language, or be it new dance form or simply be it learning to play a guitar. The best way to get started is read books, research online, watch videos, read matter online. This slowly increasing your knowledge day by day helping you to develop new additionally skills. Learning is not just restricted to these, several times we learn and develop skills by meeting friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It is always said, every person that you meet in your life teaches you something or the other. Sometimes good to best while sometimes bad to worst. What is important is you take everything and absorb the positivism in everything.

There you are simple as it sounds. Remember the more you invest on your self with the pointers mentioned above the more richer you will get. And it is an every day process. And in this world full of uncertainties it is advisable to always take time off for the most important person in your life which is yourself. Make that person the happiest for that person deserves a lot. And I would say, You alone know what all things that person has gone through, so hey you alone can be a superman/ superwomen to save yourself.
