In Local #Goa Terms, Both #Angling 🎣and Going out as a Crew on 30-Footer Canoe in Sea at 0330 Hrs in November 🛶 teaches one Patience, Strategy & Humility the most.

In Angling, It's not about Live Bait. Any Charlie can do it. How you do it with Dead 1

epaper.heraldgoa.in/m/12946/68ed59…Image Mind Boggling Strategy in #Angling 🎣 :

Tide, Bait, Weather, Line, Hook, Sinker Weight, Rod Length, Floater, Speed etc

Some day, You go and within a minute there is a 1 Kg Red Snapper (with Live Bait).

On another, You with exactly with same experience; No Bites even for 6 Hrs

🏖️🏖️ "99 Goa Sunset Tourism Update - 1🏖️🏖️

(1) So, Today evening again at Shore, I reached early as it looked like it might rain; and hence, you want to see some of the sun of the Sunset; as now Clouds travel from Land to Sea.

It was complete Low Tide, went close to waters (2) Just enough far to not even let the waters touch the feet.

Despite wearing just Slippers. No Cellular Phone, No Music; as per Habit.

Just stood there, in "Vishraam" Position, soaking in the moment. There was no one around. No sound, only Waves.

Few Kids playing behind.

Bai Nushtem Zai?

#Goa Image (1) As soon as I posted the the "Bangda at Baga" Tweet; There was this omnipresent craving for Bangda.

Even though, it was too late by then, as by 0900 hrs, everyone has finished cleaning the nets, and fish is already there in market.

But my 7th Sense was telling me, MAUKA HAI.

So, According to #GoaPolice this Time, BANG-BANG ZENITO was just Chilling on a Sunday at a Hotel/House; waiting for SP North GuptaG, Humming "Kab sey karey hain Tera Intezaar, Kab Aayegi Meri Jaan-E-Bahaar..."

Never a dull moment in #Goa 🤡🤡 Image When the attack on #Mandrem Sarpanch happened on 4th December, #GoaPolice arrested One; but he could not shed light; neither on, who was the Kingpin, nor who gave him SUPAARI?

Probably because, that time, then SP North KaushalG was not so Kushal.

A N E C D O T E #GOA :

As I was moving to Shiroda (Maharashtra) today morning, Someone whom I know hailed me down.

That's the Best Part of GAZALI (Small Talk) can happen anywhere.

After rudimentary exchange of pleasantries, he asked me, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL LICENSE & TRADE LICENSE?

I told him the difference and then asked him, what happened? Since, I know He has only Tourism related business. And, He is not a Professional.

He said, Earlier #ARAMBOL #Panchayat used to issue "Professional License" and now for NEW

NO SYMPATHY for her. She is a REPEAT.

#Betalbatim has top-notch resorts. Does she know, How these Resorts were built in #Goa by Lads from #Delhi #Gurgaon and #Ahmedabad ?

On the Promise of #Vikas by MLAs, MPs and Moneysters .

A Resorts gets built, don't worry; Locals would Image would get employment.
You can be #Taxi Patrao, as Golu Guldasta Godinho and CM #Goa Sawant promised to Thousands of #Goan .

So you take a Loan and Buy a Taxi to feed your family; because No Jobs. You Keep your Taxi at a Taxi Stand in Que and Wait. And then, someone comes and

ANECDOTE :

Before movement to College, There was an ET&T Senior of 2 Years, whom I knew, because he stayed some distance away.

When I told him, I have secured admission; so he said I have Mini-Drafter and French Curves still with me, you take it.

He gave Engg Chem book also. I did not have the "Drawing Board" still, because it was Costly and also Travelling in "General" mean hauling it would be difficult. And I guess, I would find one easily, from some Senior.

ED (Engineering Drawing) Classes started, there were Assignment Sheets given, but no Board

Read all the 14 Blog Posts of Late Rishi Nair, the name which now everyone in #Goa knows.

From @gernalist 's Today's article



The Lad said in one of his Post that he has spent 90% of his time in last one month, in his Room at #bitspilani . No Bell Rang?open.substack.com/pub/gerardsgaz… He was housed in Hostel which had all PhD Scholars? This is Amazing BITS PILANI #Goa considering fact Rishi was transferred here on His Parent's Request, and they would have indicated something about the reason.

Also,Institute #Bitspilani knew that his parents are also here.

What is a SEM or TWO to DROP for a 20 Year Old, When he has his whole life ahead?

Once, Our Seniors got their Machine Design Question Paper from IIT Kanpur. That was so so tough, all of them flunked. Almost all Seniors walked out of Exam LT, between 30 to 60 mins. #bitspilani Image Everyone of our Seniors huddled together. They waited for the Exams to get over of all branches and Sems.

When other Branches Seniors came out, they all huddled together and immediately decided to move to Director's Office and HoD. Incidentally, Director himself was Mech Engr.

Horrible Horrible Weather for MATOLI Bazaar ! #Goa

In 2 Hours drank, 3 Litres of Water.

I told Patrao, let's go early, as Sky was clear this morning. Imagine, What he told me : "Jaldi Jaaney Sey, Mahang Milta Hai !"

Ie : Stuff is costly early morning. Wanted to bang my head. When you have a Porter available, then what is the problem for him.

Thankfully, This Year he did not instruct me to scout for the "Yellow Flowers" at Tuem Plateau.

God knows, what all stuff he bought. Almost a Botanical Garden. Some stuff which would bowl you out.

ANECDOTE :

There was this Lad in School, who got transferred to our School in Std XIth; because his Father who was a JCO got transferred; from Delhi.

Haryana Boy, Total JAT. He was 5 or 6 Years elder to us. No interest in Studies, because he always wanted to join #IndianArmy . Tall, Very Good built. Thick Moustache. Big Dense Hair groomed always like a Hero.

While we would wear Bata, he would arrive in DMS (Direct Moulded Soul). His voice was totally Opposite to his Body built. Just like his Studies. Wanted to join Army after passing 8th.

🛶🛶 FISHING LOG : DAY 1 : Season 2025 : 1st August🛶🛶

Boats did not go out, on the First Day.

It's too Windy and also Sea is very rough.

Ingress would have been tough, with at least 8-9 Bumps, but Operating inside would have been very very tough. Hauling Nets. Too much Rolling of Waves inside.

Also, chances of Nets getting entangled in the under-water hills.

SKIP says, He would wait for another 3-4 Days; till Rolling Waves become manageable.

No one wants to take a chance with EGRESS either, after that huge mishap. Looks like 5th Aug

#Goa #Fishing #Fisherman

This is the Drone which would be used by Halarnkar and his Men for supposed monitoring of illegal monitoring.

It is manufactured by @ideaforge_tech , but would be operated by a third-party or channel Partner. Pay-Per-Use Model.

Just 20 Kms range. Image How obnoxiously hilarious this range of 20 Kms on Single-Charge is for Operations in Sea; can be known only by Fishermen. Not Idiots like Fisheries Moneyster Halarnkar and his very sweet fried Director Monteiro.

So basically, Fly-Fly and Earn Money for 3rd Party.

🛶🛶 FISHING LOG : Season 2025 🦐🦐

12 | 07 | 2025 : 1930

BOAT (30-Footer) is READY.

DISCO (Shrimp & Prawns Net) is loaded & secured.
Twin 9.9 HP Motors tested, fixed and secured.
WINCH Motor tested & Line Rope cleaned and checked.

All set for tomorrow morning after FL. As it would be Low Tide at FL (First Light) and no heavy rain forecast; so INGRESS would be easy-peasy (comparatively).

Sea is still rough, but most important is VAARA (Wind) how it behaves.

EGRESS would be very challenging, after 4 Hours; as Tide changes and Wind picks up. Image

The REAL WORRY for Traditional Fishermen of #Goa who go out in 30-Footer Boats is that, if these persistent GUST do not stop by 1st August (which seems impossible); not only the INGRESS into the Sea would be very dangerous, but also operating in the Sea. Even Last Year, Standing at Shore on WASHOUT days; while SEA would be very Rough and poring; there were no GUST.

Even at Sea, while it would be raining, the Wind and GUST were absent. These GUST could be very dangerous at sea, while pulling out Nets, which takes a lot of time.

The whole #Yoga thing in #Goa is 99% Scam and no one knows this better than me, at least in Northern North part.

Gullible Foreigner Girls & Woman fall into Trap because of TTC (Teacher's Training Certificate) lure from #India (the birth-place of Yoga) and starting a vocation. Image Who authorised these so called "Yogi" and "Guru" to issue a TTC Certificate; and what is it's efficacy, no one knows.

At Morning, these so called "Guru" behave like they are Avatars of Bhagwan Parshuram and rest of day and night, if you see their Conduct; you would be appalled.

KarmaBhoomi Is MatruBhoomi.

Sad reality is, only a handful of people, respect this dictum.

See, How #Goa has been plundered.

An interesting anecdote from today's, coming below... Today Morning, As It was raining On and Off Again (Fleeting Rain); Went to the Local Grocery Store run by aboriginal Goan.

It's just a very basic type of Grocery Store, and I buy 90% of my stuff from them. The entire Family is very kind to me, and I am always prioritised.

Because it's FULL MOON, A Whimsical Career Advice. #Goa

If You take it, You will go very far !

Sir Chetwode's Credo, is not the "Code Of Conduct" for all of #IndianArmy Officers, but it is, as valid and true in Civilian Life.

Look At No.2 and No.3 . Image 🔴 RED FLAG are always talked about in terms of only "Relationship" now.

While Irony is what is your Profession and how Happy you are in it, determines the success of your "relationships". SELF/GF/BF/Wife/Husband/Mother/Father/Daughter/Son .

The biggest tool "Credo".
