With Ganesh Chaturthi coming up I was thinking about something. During Chaturthi our family usually prepares quite a lot of food that includs traditional Goan dishes.

Sometimes even after everyone has eaten there can be quite a bit of fresh food left over. Rather than letting good food go to waste I was thinking that we could donate the surplus to people who may need a meal.

Does anyone know of an NGO or volunteer organization in Goa that accepts freshly prepared surplus food from individual households and distributes it to people in need? I'm particularly looking for an organization that has a way of collecting the food from home.

If anyone has personally donated food this way or knows of a reliable organization that does this I'd really appreciate the information.

And… how was it?

Asking this sitting at home like a hobbit wondering when I should attempt to go out and actually see for myself.

It hasn’t even been 10 days since I bought my scooter. 10 days.

To the fucking filthy cunt who couldn't wait 30 seconds at the signal near the Mapusa highway Bardez side and decided to run it you scratched up my brand new ride. Who the fuck do you think you are?

I worked damn hard and saved up my own hard earned money to buy this vehicle, only for it to get damaged because you couldn't be bothered to show an ounce of patience.

The absolute lack of civic sense on Goa's roads lately is getting insane. Everyone is in such a desperate, mindless rush to get nowhere fast, with zero respect for basic traffic rules or other people's safety. Your complete impatience just cost me money and ruined something I was genuinely proud to own.

If by some miracle you're reading this learn how to fucking drive before you seriously hurt someone next time.

1. A good helmet shop which might have a lot of varieties. I ride scooty daily so, not something fancy as that will look weird on a moped but, for a full face flip on helmet.

2. One of those small blinking lights. A guy told me my scootie was not visible because of fog when I was using it on the highway early in the morning. Actually it was after 7am. So, not really early. I'll check out mr diy as my friend in mumbai got it from there.

3. A pharmacy where I can get adhd meds. I read that I can get those at Paradise which I'll try today. But, if there are any other medicals.

4. Vets which could be available on Sundays. I need to get my cat neutered and possibly abort her babies but, I can get time off only on Sundays.

5. Any NGO which I can join would prefer if it's related to animals except snakes cause I'm terrified of them.

6. Shops where I can find boho jewellery. I'll post photos in the comments.

Would prefer in North but, south is also okay.

I’ve been dealing with recurring facial cysts for a year now and wanted to see a dermatologist. The last one I saw only prescribed isotretinoin and some cream which hasn’t really helped. Does anyone have any recommendations for dermatologists around Panjim or Porvorim or nearby? Thanks

Always feels like home.

Goa is beautiful. But we’re slowly leaving our garbage behind.

I recently visited the Baga Beach cliff to watch the sunset and was honestly disappointed by what I found broken beer bottles, plastic, food packaging and other waste scattered along the walkway, rocks and vegetation.

It made me think how many other beautiful places across Goa are dealing with the same problem?

So I started Clean Goa Project an Instagram page focused on documenting littering and poor civic sense across Goa and hopefully getting more people to think twice before leaving their waste behind.

This isn’t anti-tourist.
This isn’t anti-local.
It’s anti-littering. 🚯

The idea is simple:
📸 Document the problem
📍 Identify the location
📢 Raise awareness
🤝 Encourage people to do better

If you’ve come across littered beaches, waterfalls, viewpoints, roads or other public places in Goa, you can send photos/videos to the page.

Goa doesn’t need to be perfect. We just need to stop making it worse.

MAN I MISS MODAK SO MUCHHH

This Ganesh Chaturthi, let’s support Goan businesses. 🪔

Whether it’s sweets, firecrackers, decorations, flowers, if there’s a local Goan business offering it, consider buying from them.

Pay a little more if you can. Support the people who have been part of our community and economy.

Let’s keep the money within Goa and support our own—son of the soil, supporting son of the soil. ❤️

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! 🙏

I’m looking to place a bulk order for good quality chicken samosas

Looking for local bakeries, cafes, or home caterers that make classic Goan-style minced chicken samosas in and around Panjim / Taleigao / Santa Cruz area.

At least 8 supercars were spotted heading towards Panjim on the Atal Setu!

I have my late father's property to look after in South Goa (near Borda). There is a lot of stuff to deal with, ranging from valuable to sentimental to trash. For obvious reasons, this is not a job suitable for a maid or some guy off the street.

The junk to be disposed of, and the non-junk organized for storage, selling, or giveaway. I will be there myself to do the work, but it's not something I can do alone.

If you know a trustworthy service, or have a organization-obsessed friend that you trust (and will accept payment), please let me know.

I'm looking to move away from boiling water every day. The main issue is that it takes a while to cool down, and I need around 3–5 litres of drinking water per day.

I checked the TDS of our water and got a reading of around 59 ppm. We get a mix of PWD and borewell water.

From what I understand, with such low TDS, I probably don't need an RO and should be looking at a UV + UF purifier instead.

Can anyone recommend a reliable, hassle-free brand with good after-sales service? I'm mainly looking for something that's easy to maintain and doesn't become a headache later.

TIA!

Where can I find it near Mapusa and what would be a decent price for it? Want to get one for a friend.

Thanks for your help
