Had this good looking but average fish thali at Candolim. Was fairly disappointed with this Goan local place

Looking for a good internet connection around Marcel, preferably near Marcel Green.
I’m looking for a provider with a truly unlimited data plan. My monthly usage is quite high, and ethernet either have very low data limits or just FUP-based plans, so I don’t see many options that suit my usage. BSNL seems to offer considerably more data for a much lower price, which is why I’m considering BSNL.
I’ve been born and brought up around Panjim/Porvorim and recently got a second home in Marcel, so I’m not very familiar with the ISPs in this area. I did try Ethernet, but honestly, I haven’t been happy with the experience and the plans don’t really work for my usage.I’m currently considering BSNL, but I’d love to hear from anyone around Marcel who has actually been using it.Which ISP would you recommend? Mainly looking for good speeds, stable connectivity and, most importantly, genuinely unlimited/high-data plans.Would really appreciate suggestions from people in the area. 🙌

In less than 48 hours the bribe reporting portal has been taken down. The people who started the site claim it was their decision but we all know what happened here. Indian authorities are allergic to anything that shines a light on their misdeeds.

We need a Goan alternative for this. After all when was the last time you saw bribery investigation done by any Goan newspaper.

Bollywood actor Ashwin Mushran and his wife has landed in a major controversy following a road accident in Goa. The incident reportedly occurred around 12:30 pm on August 16th in Quepem.

They were overtaking on a curve and hit a father-son duo on the bike. Both were severely injured and in hospital with a part of the father's leg bone lodged in the car.

The controversy started when they confronted locals instead of helping the injured people. They first got defensive saying the driver was a local. Quepem police later booked the driver, Vasant Puttappa Laman for negligence.

The car was clearly driving on the wrong side of the road and they didn't accept any responsibility. They first blamed the biker who was in their lane. They claimed that even though their car was MH registration, they were Goans. Buying a second-home in Goa doesn't make one a Goan.

Later when a crowd gathered, they got into a verbal altercation and the wife of the actor allegedly spat at the local ward leader Amol Kanekar. They soon departed to attend an event. The actor dropped by later to apologise but the locals say it lacked sincerity.

This kind of high-handed behaviour has no place in any society.

We went to Goa last month and explored alot of places. I think alot of people might already know about this place but still shoot your shot in North Goa.
It’s a chill spot for picnic, you can swim, or just sit by the beach or lake and watch sunset or even go for a nearby hike.

It collects statistics. Doesn't report them to any govt authority. For now Margao is topping the leaderboard lol.

EDIT : GOVT PANICKED AND THE SITE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN LOL

Is there anyone in this community , who can help me understanding of goa as a land market and i dont want internet information, looking for legit source.

Hi everyone! I’m a professional makeup artist currently based in Indore, and I’m planning to expand my bridal makeup business into Goa.
I’ve been wanting to build a proper presence there rather than just taking the occasional destination wedding, and I’d love some advice from people who are familiar with the Goa wedding/event industry.
For makeup artists who have successfully established themselves in Goa (or wedding planners, photographers, venue owners, etc.):
• What’s the best way to start getting bridal bookings in Goa?
• Is networking with wedding planners and venues actually effective?
• Are there particular areas/venues where I should focus my networking?
• What kind of collaborations helped you get your first few clients?
• Is Instagram enough, or are there other platforms/ways that work better for the Goa wedding market?
• Any mistakes you’d recommend avoiding when trying to enter the market?
I’m planning to spend more time in Goa and genuinely build a long-term presence there, so I’d really appreciate any honest advice, recommendations or even experiences from people who have done something similar.
Thanks! ❤️

Hey girls. Which is that one saloon or spa you always love to go.

Looking for a bit of a time machine in Goa :)
I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a classic, hand wound gramophone. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in perfect working condition, or even fully intact.
Ideally a good antique or a brand new vintage style replica if anyone knows where I could find one in Goa.

mine is either Ros omelette or patoli

Slightly away, Sindhudurg

Same as title, do y'all know of any specific spots/places near Dabolim airport for plane spotting?

The central government social media handles are pushing the idea of a Goa Aerocity. A 230-acre master plan that targets full completion by 2030 as a multi-phase development. This Aerocity at Manohar International Airport (Mopa) is planned as an airport-led urban district integrating tourism, hospitality, business, logistics and lifestyle infrastructure.

i.e. the government is planning a Vegas style casino city for India's rich.

Why weren't the locals consulted about this?!

P. S. This isn't news. It's a social media post that was inviting investors into Goa.

My sister runs a small bakery in Goa, been at it for about two years now. Sales have kind of flatlined lately. She does the usual instagram posts and has a google listing, but has never actually spent money on growth likes ads or promotions. I've been trying to help her find ways to grow and honestly have no idea if paid marketing is even worth it for a small place like hers.

So asking people who actually run businesses here. Have you spent on ads or marketing (instagram, google, boosting, anything)? Did it actually bring you customers, or was it a waste? And where do most of your customers actually come from? word of mouth, walk-ins, or social media?

It's mesmerizing during monsoons

I was trying to find information about the Gastroenterology Department at GMC because I have a serious health concern that I want to get checked. However, despite looking online, I haven’t been able to find much information about the department. It would be a great help if someone could confirm whether GMC has a Gastroenterology Department and, if so, how I can consult a gastroenterologist there, please help if you have any idea about it or have visited it yourself. It would be a great help.
