Goa turn Green and Gold!

Goa turns Green and Gold!  I turned 40 in the midst of the raging third COVID wave in India. Therefore all of my thoughts  for a great 40th Birthday break went out of the window. It finally ended up being a three day girls weekend with my closest soul sisters from college Divya and Gopika. Though we planned a trip at Andamans, we had to be satisfied with Pondicherry because of cancellations of all hotels and tourist spot bookings thanks to COVID. However those two days were just fantastic. A chance to just focus on yourself and think about old times but at the same time open your heart out to your closest buddies. The highlight for us was the three hours of bliss at the beach with not a soul other than us three. The glittering sea, the cool January Breeze and the dark night took us to a happy place without worries. This was something we all really needed after COVID. I cannot thank my friends enough. Many months later, I felt a girls trip was just what was needed to refresh anyone'

So if I had to go it would be alone with the kids. How could I go? "Should I say no" were random thoughts in my mind. However, I was also tempted as I wanted one last holiday before going back to work. The December holiday was too short. So I replied to the whatsapp group message saying that I was tempted and to count me in. I would reconfirm in a week.       The above message got my parents thinking. They were going to say no as they had anot
