#BeingAllycaralMondayShots – Farewell 2018
Hello Allys,
31st December 2018 – the last day of the year and as the mandatory act states of looking back at this year, all I can say – What a Year it has been!
2018 – a year filled with good mix of highs and lows. And here’s a couple of things which I have penned down out of my bag of understanding this Year.
Well here are a few things that I would like to share with you all…
1. Plan your day, the more systematically you start your day, the more time you will have for yourself and to plan the other unplanned activities too which come your way. 🌱
2. Make time for your family and friends – actually every relations in your life! Because at the end of it, all what matters are those countless moments of joy, happiness and ofcourse the strength one receive in moments of grief which you share with your relations. 👨👩👧
3. Start planning for something you would like to do 5 years from now on! And Start Working towards building your empire. 👷♀️
4. Start Early with Savings, several times it may not be a big amount but the earlier the always better. Start saving small. That moment when you realise you are actually saving amount for your betterment, that feeling is heavenly. 💰
5. If you really want to spend well then, spend on some “Me Time” Yes take some time off, and make yourself feel good about BEING YOU. The earlier you understand that happiness is something internal that moment, you win!!! 🏆
2018 has been a year that made me realise, time and change are the only constants in your journey of life. For the people who left this world this year in the most unexpected manner, you continue to still live with us. For those who were born, well this year has been really special so many of friends got married, delivered babies, and I can’t be happier to hold the lil muchkins in my arms! (Those I couldn’t, well I will visit you’ll soon!) Indeed, some really special and priceless moments of life. And maybe this is all that we live for!
How happy and glad I am for this year that has gone by. All I knew was, things I perceived or started this year with, several of which turned the other way round! But I couldn’t be thankful enough to the Almighty, to the Universe and to Life – my amazing family, friends and You – Yes You! for making up days, especially when I was down by either sending emails or commenting on the posts!
Thank You for the amazing surprises that 2018 has bought along with it and 2019, I am so sure, you will be the best!
Walking into 2019 with Lots of Happiness and Positivity.
Thanks for all the love once again! We will only get better, in the years to come!!!

Do You Know about this beautiful Panjim Spring – Boca de Vaca?
Springs are beautiful places to sit back and relax, and especially when it is in the place where you work, it helps you re surge a new vibe by simply visiting the same. Situated almost on a lower hill, Boca De Vaca is one of the two springs which exist in the Captial City – Panjim.
If one takes a closer look at this structure, one would notice that this structure has a face of a cow as a part of it’s architecture. The spring water flowing from a Granite Cow’s Head which is built during the Portuguese era. Well, that’s right from where, this spring got it’s name – Boca de Vaca which means ‘Face of the Cow’ or the ‘Cow’s Face’.
Earlier this place was used as a major source of water supply in the capital city – Panjim. But with the changing times this too was highly neglected, and this turned out to be one of the major reasons for the almost dying state of this architecture. But the only thing that has kept this place alive was the source of fresh water which is still widely known for it’s medicinal properties. This structure now stands as a part of a temple which is dedicated to Sai Baba.
This massive Portuguese built structure was reworked and restored only recently by an initiative taken to beautify and restore this beautiful place by Goa Tourism and Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC). It has been assured that this place turns out to be a major tourist attraction restoring the same. Also additionally the place is very well maintained. And in case you walk to this place or drive to this place and want to spend some quality time, well there are benches too available here to sit back and relax watching the spring water.
A brownie point would be visiting this place in the evening. This place is well lit and the fresh flow of water re energizes your soul with the cool breeze touching you and makes it even more why you should visit this place.
HOW TO GET THERE?
Simple! Google Map for you – directions towards Boca De Vaca Spring. But take care as Google is not well versed with which road Corporation of City of Panjim (CCP) has marked as no entry or as one way!!! Carefully check the sign boards on the way, while heading towards the Destination.
TIPS OF THE DAY
- This place has a specific time, within which it needs to be visited that is 9AM – 8PM. One good thing is it is open throughout the week during the above mentioned time.
- Visit this place with an Umbrella to protect you from rains if you plan to visit during monsoon and sun if you plan to visit this place during summer as this place is an open area.
Here is a panoramic view of the same. Introducing something new for the very first time on my blog. Would love to hear feedback on this!

TRAVEL FOR YOUR SELF
🤗
You know what’s the most beautiful thing about traveling? Ofcourse it gives you an opportunity to explore new places. But at the same time, it leaves you in an awe of a moment! Realising that in this fast paced world, we have somehow forgotten the art of living. We are just getting through a day! And it is not our fault, sometimes our work, responsibilities demands it. So when you get a chance. Just stop for a minute, stare outside a window and ask yourself, are you doing justice to the life that you are living? Are you being kind enough to yourself? If yes, great make some more time and treat yourself with the best that you like. If not, you need to make time for the most important person in your life which is yourself. This is your time now! Pack your bags and get on a mini vacation! And for once travel for yourself, not for social media, not for sharing photos but only to reenergize your soul… Just to make time for that amazing person, who definately requires a break. Travel for yourself. Have a wonderful week ahead!😌
