Being from a Punjabi family who has lived for most years in Delhi, we always celebrated Lohri with a lot of pomp and show. The bonfire, dhol and some particular food dishes have always been significant to the festival. Now living in Goa, we didn’t know what to expect, whether anyone celebrates the festival or not was a big question.
Homeschooling isn’t as uncommon as it used to be. Today, it’s used in conjunction with regular schooling to help reinforce difficult concepts and also to give your children a better understanding of the subjects they’re learning and why they’re important. However, most parents simply don’t have time to teach their kids at home given their own work responsibilities.
I am a sucker for places that offer mesmerising views and especially of the SUN, SAND and SEA. Just recently I discovered one more such place that offers both great views and great food. Its called the Beach House, situated atop the Vagator Cliff, the approach road is slightly rough and you may feel as if there can’t be anything further down the road, but hang on a little more and you will see this amazing place.
Prime Rose, Sangolda, was one of the first restro-bar that I visited in Goa when I finally moved in from Delhi. It has been a friend’s favourite joint to hang out for late-night drinks and I remember visiting this place with him directly after landing at the airport, making it our first night as residents of Goa. Since it was late, we didn’t have much of a choice and what I remember this place was basically for drinks and some finger food. Strangely after that, I did not get a chance to visit Prime Rose until recently.
MORE THAN JUST GOAN FOOD- THAT’S SPICE GOA FOR YOU!
My same friend had been pushing me to visit this place, and this time around not for drinks but for food and food is something I never associated Prime Rose with. But since my friend compelled and told me about their upping the food quotient, I went ahead for a dinner with family to Prime Rose.
THE SEARCH FOR BEST NORTH INDIAN FOOD ENDS AT MASALA HOUSE, GOA
And to say the least, I was pleasantly surprised, not only the food was really delicious, but also the presentation of food has improved 1000 times. It’s no longer just a bar and finger food place, it’s a restaurant that is in line with any of the food-focused restaurants in Goa. And I saw the change, this time around the place was buzzing with foodies who appreciate good food and drinks and not just a hangout zone for late-night drinkers.
Since Prime Rose has primarily been rated as a bar, their cocktails are definitely a strong point and their in-house bartender has enough to offer and keep you in high spirits. Ask for the bartender’s special take on LIT and I am sure you will ask for more, but a word of caution there, don’t go overboard with this one.
UNCLE TILLY’S- MY NEIGHBOURHOOD PIZZA PLACE!
Coming to food, the place has a good variety on the menu and there is something to suit every taste bud. Focusing on comfort food, Prime Rose surely has added its own touch to regular dishes and even the presentation of food is commendable.
The Chicken Overdose, for instance, was a perfect starter where the regular fried chicken was given some personal twist by the chef and presented with an amazing dip to go along. It became an instant hit with everyone in the family.

A simple dish like Loaded Chicken Nachos was also something that left our taste buds lingering.
Pineapple Polenta with Shrimps was simply one of the best dishes of the evening, I loved the subtle flavours of the prawns balanced with the sweet and sour pineapple.
Spicy Pesto Grilled Chicken should definitely be given a try. Marinated with green apple and basil, this grilled chicken with its juicy flavours is a perfect match to anything you pick up from the bar, even if it means a simple juice.
Beef Tenderloin served with an orange vodka sauce, polenta and a serving of rice is something that you will not forget for a long time. The combination of stir-fried beef and orange sauce was just amazing.
You can also go in for Pizzas and Burgers, the Grilled Chicken Pizza and BBQ Beef Burger make for a perfect kind of main course to satiate a big hunger or easily shared between 2 people as the portion size is quite good.

Do you know what the best part about living in Goa is? You don’t need to move out of the state for a vacation, Goa itself offers so many places to have a perfect king of getaway that one doesn’t need too much of planning. Living in the Northside of Goa, heading towards South for a weekend is one of the best things one can do when in need of a quick break.
Bacterial vaginosis is a common infection, which studies have found affects nearly 30% of US women aged between 14 and 49. This infection frequently develops after sexual intercourse, but it should not be confused with a sexually transmitted infection. However, it can increase the risk of an STI, especially chlamydia, if left untreated. To learn more about the causes of bacterial vaginosis and ways to treat it, read this post now.
Soft pretzels are one of the best things to use to make a sandwich, or to eat on their own. You can buy some delicious soft pretzels from a number of brands, but if you’re someone who likes to bake, you can also make them at home.
Your skin type is made up of many different factors, one of which is pigment. Darker skin is no more prone to breakouts of acne than lighter skin, but more skin pigment can pose unique challenges in treating them. Treatments that work for people with lighter complexions may be ineffective or may even make the problem worse. You may wish to opt for an alternative method, such as oil based acne treatment, that may help to combat both the breakout and its aftereffects.
Spice Goa is one of the names that pops up the moment someone mentions Goan food and more especially the famous Fish Thali, but trust me when I say there is much more to Spice Goa than just the scrumptious Goan food.
Finding authentic North Indian food in Goa is definitely a task, even though many restaurants claim that they make good North Indian food, but finding genuine flavours isn’t easy.
