Do the Ads make Sense ?

That's for you to answer!

I have a new Google AdSense account and I feel that the ads look pretty decent. They (google) say that these ads will be related to the contents of the site. The first ad on my blog is about crossword compilers. That's because there is mention of crosswords at quite a few places on my blog.

Way to Go(a) !!

Goa...it was amazing. Actually, it was a lot different from what I had imagined. I don't know why, but I had never thought it'll have that olden charm to it. The houses were old and beautiful. Lots of Portuguese influence, and there wasn't much development(read concrete). It was green, peaceful and serene.

We were put up at the Holiday Inn Resort (very far away from many famous beaches) which has its own beach and we visited only that beach. We had a hectic schedule. We arrived at Londa station on Saturday morning and reached the resort late in the afternoon. Then we just freshened up, had a late lunch and went for a walk at the beach and then to the party. The highlight of the party was the "Limbo Dance". The dancer was playing with fire as if it were water and he was very humorous. He did a great job. Then we danced through the night.

Next morning we woke up at around 9:30, had breakfast and went to the beach. I was fully clothed but I couldn't resist the sea so I got myself completely wet. Then we played football for about an hour and went into the sea again. Then it was time to dive in to the pool (obviously with just the swimming trunk on). We played a superb game of waterpolo [I scored 2 goals and made 4 direct passes]. Then we went to the Mangesh temple and the St.Francis Xavier church. Then we went on a one hour cruise and got back to the resort. I was already too tirtd but we had a party again.

Woke up next morning, had breakfast, went swimming, packed up, had lunch and got ready for the flight. Eventually this was my first flight. There was some turbulence due to cloudy weather and all the tea in my cup landed on my knee. My pant was wet from knee to ankle(note: knee to ankle). Goa to Bombay and Bombay to Hyderabad.

Although we weren't able to explore Goa, it was a nice break from work. Most of our time was spent in travelling and yours truly cannot keep his eyes open for more than half an hour in any mode of transport (even scooter...trains are sometimes an exception depending on the company and/or the books I have). So I felt I was missing out on a lot of things but made up my mind that I'll go back to Goa some day and spend atleast a week there. I really want to enjoy its beauty and I feel that can be done only when one's alone(or with some"one").

Let's see, may be that day is not too far. Goa....I'll be back soon!!
